What type of battery does the Roewe RX5 use?
2 Answers
Roewe RX5 uses a ternary lithium battery. The battery, also known as a storage battery, works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Generally, when people refer to batteries, they mean lead-acid batteries, which mainly use lead and its oxides as electrodes and sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The Roewe RX5 has a length, width, and height of 4571mm, 1855mm, and 1719mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2708mm. The body type is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV, equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and a top speed of 190 km/h. The car's engine is a 1.5T L4 with turbocharged intake, delivering a maximum horsepower of 173ps.
I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for several years. This model comes standard with a 12V lead-acid battery, typically with a capacity of 60-70Ah. My version is equipped with an AGM-type battery, which is particularly suitable for the auto start-stop function. The original battery brand is likely Fengfan or Bosch - it reliably starts with one crank even in cold winters. However, the battery lifespan is about 3-5 years, so regular checks on terminals and voltage are necessary. If you notice sluggish starts or dimming lights, it's time to consider a replacement. Compatible aftermarket brands like Camel or Varta are also acceptable options, but never compromise quality for cheap alternatives as this affects overall vehicle reliability, especially during remote road trips. For daily use, avoiding frequent short-distance starts can help prolong battery health.
