Where is the negative terminal of the Honda Vezel battery located?
2 Answers
The battery of the Honda Vezel is located in the engine compartment. You can open the hood using the switch inside the car, and upon lifting the hood, you will see the vehicle's battery. There are two terminals on the battery. The one marked with a + sign is the positive terminal, and the other one is the negative terminal. The Vezel is the first SUV under GAC Honda, developed based on Honda's new vehicle platform. Here is some information about the Honda Vezel's battery: 1. The battery of the Honda Vezel is located in the engine compartment. You can open the hood using the switch inside the car, and upon lifting the hood, you will see the vehicle's battery. 2. There are two terminals on the battery. The one marked with a + sign is the positive terminal, and the other one is the negative terminal. If the vehicle needs to be parked for an extended period, you can disconnect the negative terminal to prevent battery drain. After disconnecting the negative terminal, make sure it is secured and does not come into contact with the battery. 3. The Vezel is typically equipped with an original Japanese Yuasa battery, model 55B24L(S)-MF, which is a maintenance-free battery. It has a capacity of 45AH and a cold cranking amperage (CCA) of 410A. This is a special battery designed for start-stop systems. After replacing or disconnecting the battery, the vehicle requires a learning and matching process.
I remember when I first started driving the Honda HR-V, the battery location under the hood confused me a bit—it took several tries to find the negative terminal. When you pop the hood, the battery is usually on the right side or in the middle of the front compartment, depending on the model year, but the negative terminal is always the one with the black cover, fixed on the left side of the battery. Why does this matter? Because it's connected to the grounding system. In case you need a jump-start or to check connections, knowing its location helps avoid accidentally touching the positive terminal—which has a red cover. I recommend beginners turn off the engine, remove the key, and wear insulated gloves before handling it. You can also check the battery’s condition by touch: if it feels swollen or smells acidic, it’s likely aged and needs replacement. For routine maintenance, cleaning terminal corrosion can extend battery life and prevent the hassle of a roadside breakdown.
