Hyundai Solaris battery - factory version and analogues

The car remains one of the most popular cars on our market, so it is a reasonable question, which battery should be installed on the Hyundai Solaris instead of the original one if it is not on sale? The car began to be produced for the Russian market in January 2011, and officially sold in February.

The true name of this car is Hyundai Accent, in Russia it is called Solaris, which in principle does not change anything, not to mention adaptation to our conditions. This car became a direct competitor to the VW Polo and Renault Logan. It was produced in two body types: sedan and hatchback.

The car was produced for two generations. The first one was restyled in 2014. As a result of the latter, changes were made to the body, chassis, transmission, and electrical equipment, which required a change in the battery format. You can order the power supply via the link, prices start from 1690 rubles.

From the very beginning of production, the South Korean sedan and hatchback were equipped with two types of engines. They are presented in the table below. It is important to say that these are quite powerful power units, each of which has more than 100 hp.

They are our own development, produced in South Korea, and belong to the Gamma series. These are 4-cylinder, 16-valve, in-line power units.

From the very first moments of the production of its cars, the manufacturer equipped it with a fairly powerful battery, the average service life of which was 2-5 years, depending on the intensity of use.

Therefore, when choosing a battery for the Hyundai Solaris 1.4 l , you need to buy this one. But it happens that there is no original model on sale, then you can buy analogues.

We are ready to offer you the best battery options that will fully cope with their tasks and provide the required period of stable operation before the first forced recharging.

What batteries were installed in the car?

It should be noted that two types of batteries were installed on the Hyundai Solaris. Until the last restyling, cars were equipped with sources measuring 232/173/225 mm 60Ah 550A with a lower reverse polarity mount. When there was the last restyling, they began to install batteries in the European case 242/175/190 op 60Ah 550A. Size 242/175/190 op fits into the standard place of a model of any year of manufacture.

This car went through only 1 restyling, which occurred in 2014, the end of production of the 1st generation. 2 started immediately behind him. The changes affected literally everything, but most of them occurred in models with a 1.6 liter engine.

The box was also replaced here. Many different electrical equipment were added, requiring a more energy-dense battery.

Let's take a closer look at the original model and our lecterns. We summarize the information in the form of a small table.

As can be seen from the table, the analogues we offer compare favorably with the original battery. And first of all, the difference lies in the warranty period, which can be very unprofitable during operation. Therefore, if you have a normal budget, then order one of these batteries and your car will work properly even for more than 4 years, because in fact this period increases to 50% of the declared one. As for the price of the Hyundai Solaris battery , it is quite reasonable. Accordingly, the larger the capacity, the higher the cost.

As for the products of the German Berga plant, the period of its stable operation due to the use of innovative technologies was increased by the manufacturer to 10 years. When you order this battery from us, you receive, in addition to a high-quality power source for your car, also the services of free installation on your car. This condition applies if you return the old battery to us.

About battery manufacturers

When choosing a battery for the Hyundai Solaris 1.6 l , many prefer a cheaper analog and choose CENE Delkor 56513 batteries. These sources are cheaper than German ones, despite this they have all the necessary advantages.

First of all, they are that the manufacturer is also located in South Korea. Consequently, they produce batteries in strict compliance with the requirements of the car manufacturer, thereby maximizing its performance. The company was founded in 1985.

A special feature of the production of CENE batteries is the innovative cold forging technology in the manufacture of electrodes, which made it possible to increase productivity several times.

The advantages of good batteries for Hyundai Solaris brand CENE include:

• Use of primary lead in the production process, and for alloying - silver, calcium and tin.
• The gratings are made by stamping.
• Shock-absorbing ribs are provided to ensure stability during various types of vibrations.
• The lid has a labyrinth system for removing vapors, through which it returns back in the form of condensate.
• The battery terminals have a triple fixation system, so any types of flooring are excluded.

Battery for Hyundai Solaris

The Hyundai Solaris car relatively recently appeared on the Russian market. However, this model quickly took the leading position in sales in the budget car segment. The low cost of spare parts and their availability made this car a bestseller on the secondary market. Therefore, choosing a battery or something else for the Hyundai Solaris will not be difficult.

There are many analogues of the standard battery for Solaris on sale. There are options for every taste and budget. The following models can be considered:

• Timberg Asia 55D23L. One of the most inexpensive models. The price is slightly higher than 3650 rubles.
• INCI AKU Formula A 60R. Another budget option, the cost of which is close to 5,000 rubles.
• EXIDE Premium EA654 (65R). A model from a well-known and time-tested brand.
• DELKOR 60R (65D23L) or 65R (75D23L). The cost of these batteries is about 6,500 rubles.
• AlphaLINE AGM D23L 60R. The most expensive option, which costs almost 10,000 rubles. Its advantage is the use of AGM technology in production, which ensures resistance to deep discharges.

To dismantle the old battery and install a new one, you will need a 13mm socket with an extension (to loosen the clamp securing the battery to the bottom side) and a 10mm open end wrench (you can use a socket) to loosen the terminals.

German Berga batteries

Batteries from Germany Berga have been known throughout the world since 1927. Their features include numerous innovative solutions and technologies. These sources have an extended service life, which is achieved by stamping the gratings and their special protective coating. No less important is the secret composition of the Berga PB-No. 7 paste, which does not deteriorate throughout its 10 years of service.

Budget battery options

If your Solaris battery suddenly runs out , but you don’t have the money to buy an original or a high-quality analogue, then you can always purchase a budget source. You can view several of these batteries in our online store.

They will completely replace our analogues, but still have some differences. To make it easier to compare budget battery models, let’s put them in a table

• RUSH (Russia) 6ST-60 from 1750 rub.
• Smart Element (Russia)6ST-60.0 from 2200 rub.
• Kursky (Russia) 6ST-60 NR from 2800 rub.

As for the cost, it is 2-2.5 times less compared to a high-quality analogue from South Korea or Germany, but as can be seen from the characteristics comparison tables (take the previous table), it is clearly visible. What is especially striking is the warranty period, which differs by 8-4 times.

Which battery is better

There are many companies on the market, both domestic and foreign, that produce analogues of “native” batteries, sometimes with superior performance characteristics.

Selection options

Battery life is 3-5 years

In order not to make a mistake when purchasing, you need to take into account a number of nuances:

• The appearance of the battery will say a lot. The case must be intact, without cracks or damage, such as scratches;
• The polarity of the batteries varies. It’s better to immediately see how the plus and minus terminals are located on the “native” device. The Solaris power supply is made with an Asian housing, where the polarity is reversed;
• The capacity of the factory battery is 60 A/h. The maximum value for replacement is 65 A/h. Here they start from the parameters of the generator. If the battery is constantly undercharged or overcharged, this will negatively affect its condition and it will quickly fail;
• starting current. The higher the value, the better the engine starts. This is especially noticeable at sub-zero temperatures. For Solaris this is 500 - 600 A;
• take into account the dimensions, otherwise the new battery simply will not fit into the seat;
• The date of manufacture is important. Battery life is 3 – 5 years. Moreover, the report starts from the release date, and not after installation under the hood;
• There are 2 types of batteries: serviced and maintenance-free. Hyundai Solaris comes second;
• To ensure the quality of the product you are purchasing, you should ask the seller for certificates and a guarantee.

It would be good if, when purchasing a new power source, it would be possible to measure the density of the electrolyte and check the charging.

Some features of battery operation on Hyundai Solaris

To prevent the Hyundai Solaris battery from catching fire, you need to monitor its charging mode and prevent overheating. The main reason for such an incident is overheating, which can arise, among other things, from outside.

Also, such a dangerous factor exists in the case of charging the source from homemade devices or charging it after its effective service life. Only Berga batteries can last up to 10 years; our analogues will last you 5-6 years; as for budget sources, they will last no more than 2-3 years. This depends on the intensity of use and the condition of the electrical equipment on your car.

Rules and valuable recommendations for choosing a battery for Hyundai cars

The manufacturer installs on vehicles a maintenance-free battery made using calcium, with a rated voltage of 12 V and a capacity of 60 Ah. The battery elements are located in a polypropylene monoblock and are covered by a common cover, inseparably connected to the monoblock.

There are no plugs in the battery cover, since topping up with distilled water is not required.

Two vents allow the small amount of gas generated in the battery to escape to the outside.

A modern car is full of various electrical consumers and electronic devices, from the audio system to electronic engine control system units, gearboxes, anti-lock brakes, airbags, etc. In the damp off-season, and especially in winter, all automotive electrical and electronics, and primarily the automobile battery, are tested for endurance.

Hello. Let's change the low beam lamp on a Hyundai Solaris. There are no difficulties in replacement, the instructions are intended for new car enthusiasts.

I advise you to install Osram lamps, ordering number is 64205. If you want another lamp, then ask for a lamp with an H4 base, power 60/55 watts.

" Technique "

Sincerely, Ed Shea

New cars leaving the factory assembly line are equipped with a standard DELKOR65D23L or DELKOR75D23L battery. Its characteristics are:

• nominal capacity - 60 A*h;
• starting current - 550 A;
• polarity - reverse;
• overall dimensions - 232x173x225 (with terminals);
• case type - Asian;
• fastening type - front and rear, without side protrusions.

The “native” battery on the Hyundai Solaris is of very good quality and, with proper operation, is unlikely to remind itself of itself earlier than three years from the date of purchase. If, instead of a standard one, you purchase a battery with the same markings from the store, then you can install it in the car absolutely calmly. Any other model must be judged by its characteristics.

First of all, these are the dimensions of the product. The battery space in Solaris is very limited, and it is simply unrealistic to install a large battery there. The type of fastening is also important.

A battery with a smaller capacity may not be able to cope under heavy loads (for example, in severe frosts), and a more powerful one will be systematically undercharged due to the design features of the generator of this car.

If the new battery is completely identical to the standard one in all respects, then replacing the battery on a Hyundai Solaris is a fairly simple operation. It is performed in the following sequence:

• Turn off all electrical appliances, including the radio, and turn off the ignition.
• Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery (disconnect ground), then remove the wire from the positive terminal.
• Remove the insulating pad from the battery.
• Using a socket wrench or 12mm socket, unscrew the bracket holding the battery.
• Remove the old battery.
• Install a new battery to replace the removed one.
• Reassemble all parts in reverse order.
