Where is the battery located on the Great Wall VV7?
2 Answers
The Great Wall VV7's battery is installed in the same location as most other vehicles. Simply open the engine hood, and you can find it around the lower edge of the front windshield. The Great Wall VV7 uses a 6QW45 (580)L battery with a capacity of 60Ah. The battery is a lead-acid type, primarily made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Also known as a storage battery, it functions by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The normal service life of a car battery ranges from 1 to 8 years, largely depending on the vehicle's condition. The Great Wall VV7 has body dimensions of 4749mm in length, 1931mm in width, and 1655mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2950mm.
I've helped a friend deal with the battery issue on a Great Wall WEY VV7. The battery placement in this car is quite particular. The main battery is located in the engine compartment - when you open the hood, look towards the front left side, and you'll find a black square box with a ventilation hose behind the fuse box. Lift the plastic cover to reveal the 12V battery with blue markings, where the positive and negative terminals are particularly noticeable. When jump-starting, special attention must be paid to avoid reversing the polarity, as this vehicle has many electronic components that could easily damage the computer board if mishandled. Last time I jump-started it, I found oxidized terminals causing poor contact, which required sanding before electricity could flow properly. Additionally, higher trim models have an auxiliary battery in the trunk, but for daily maintenance, just focus on the main battery. Remember to check the voltage during winter months.
