Buying a new battery for a VAZ 2110 will not be difficult. If the light on the instrument panel is on, you need to measure the density of the battery and check the generator. A generator that doesn't hold a charge well can cause serious problems—the car simply won't start.
If, after charging the battery with a special device, the car does not start, the required voltage between the two terminals continues to be absent, then you need to think about buying a new battery. The acquisition process has its own nuances and subtleties. It is important that the battery meets the basic parameters. The most significant ones include the following:
- capacity;
- starting current;
- overall size and polarity of the battery.
Location of the battery in the VAZ 2110
Capacity
At the factory, the manufacturer installs a battery with a capacity of 55 Ah on this vehicle. Many vehicle owners believe that it is possible to install a larger capacity battery without any harm. But that's not true. If the setting is too high, the battery simply will not be fully charged. As a result, the device will age prematurely. The only way to avoid this is to periodically charge the battery yourself with a special device.
Another consequence of installing a battery that is too powerful is increased load on the generator. Especially often when installing a battery of 65 Ah or more, the diode bridge suffers. Moreover, according to reviews from owners, the use of such a battery leads to complete failure of the battery.
Is it possible to install other types of batteries?
In addition to the 6ST-55A model, it is time to choose other battery options. In winter, the capacity of the power supply drops, and most drivers install more capacious batteries. Installing such batteries is a controversial decision. This is based on the fact that in winter the internal combustion engine rarely gains sufficient speed to charge the battery, and this usually happens after 20 minutes of driving. In urban conditions, by this time the trip may already be over.
In practice, many VAZ-2110s are driven with a 6ST-60 or 6ST-62 battery. Some car enthusiasts install power cells with a capacity of 70 A/h or more. But in such cases, the battery will need to be charged using a stationary charger.
Starting current
An important parameter is the starting current. This characteristic refers to the amount of energy that the battery can supply at one time. From the factory, cars of the brand in question are equipped with a battery with a rating of 425 A. This figure is small; such a battery cannot have a good stable start in cold weather.
The optimal solution is to install a battery with a starting current of 450 A or more. This parameter does not affect charging or operation in any way. The only drawback is the relatively high cost. Separately, you need to dwell on the manufacturer. The optimal solution would be to purchase:
- Multu;
- Varta.
The first is resistant to self-discharge at low temperatures. It will be possible to start the engine even at -400 C. Its only disadvantage is its relatively high cost. Varta will be somewhat cheaper. The battery is also expensive, but slightly cheaper than the Multu. When choosing, you need to focus primarily on the equipment parameters.
The best battery manufacturers
Experienced motorists have been using products from specific companies for quite a long time, which have shown only good results. We bring to your attention several trusted manufacturers whose batteries have excellent quality and reliability:
- AUTOPART
- ECOSTART.
- JP DYNAMIC.
- 1STORM.
- BOSH.
- Varta.
All brands are produced in Europe, and the products have advanced technological solutions.
Advantages that can be found in the batteries of the above companies:
- Use of advanced technological solutions in production.
- Excellent starting power.
- Minimum self-discharge rate.
- Sufficient level of security for trouble-free operation.
- The products are ideal for the climate of our country. This is especially true for frost resistance.
- The batteries have proven themselves well in various operating conditions.
Dimensions and polarity
An important point is the overall size of the device. They must comply with those specified by the manufacturer:
- length – 242 mm;
- height – 190 mm;
- width – 175 mm.
If the overall dimensions for some reason do not coincide with the original ones, it will be difficult to install on the seat. Another important point is the choice of polarity. The Lada VAZ 2110 has a direct polarity type. This type means that when the battery is placed with the front side facing the viewer, the positive terminal is on the left.
Direct (left) and reverse (right) battery polarity
Using a battery with reverse polarity is possible. But they require changes to the design - extension of current supply wires. The VAZ 2110 scheme involves installing a battery with a direct location. It is better to replace the battery immediately. This is the only way to avoid problems associated with dimly lit headlights and starting the engine.
Recommendations when choosing a battery
To ensure that after purchasing a new battery the car does not require even greater maintenance costs, you should follow some rules.
- The first thing to do to properly replace this car part is to determine the optimal capacity that is suitable for the power of a particular engine. The fact is that we are dealing with various modifications of this VAZ model, in which engines with different characteristics can be installed.
- The second thing is to decide on the location of the terminals. In the VAZ 2110 car, the layout is straight, and accordingly, the battery must be selected in the same way. When choosing the reverse one, you will have to turn the battery, and in this case it is not a fact that the installation will be successful.
- Third, you should measure the parameters of the battery compartment: length, width and height so that the new device fits in the intended place.
If the car is used mainly at sub-zero temperatures, it is worth choosing a capacity slightly larger than that of the factory battery. The type of battery on the VAZ 2110 also matters (injector or carburetor, it doesn’t matter) - the manufacturer installs lead-acid batteries. They are maintenance-free, but have a long service life - about 50 complete charge-discharge cycles.
The cost of a battery for a VAZ 2110
The price of a VAZ 2110 battery depends on a number of factors:
- manufacturer;
- starting current;
- containers;
- polarity.
According to customer reviews, the following batteries perform best:
| Name | Name Capacity, Ah | Starting current, A | Cost, rubles |
| Autofan | 60 | 470 | From 2 600 |
| Kainar | 60 | 540 | From 4 170 |
| Price Euro | 60 | 525 | From 4 900 |

What to do if the battery is dead
Sometimes it happens that it is simply impossible to replace the battery in time. The way out of this situation is:
- using a starter charger;
- connecting to the on-board network of another vehicle (“lighting up”);
- An attempt to start with a pusher - the car with the ignition on is pushed and then the gear is engaged.
You need to remember: trying to start the engine with a very discharged battery can cause its breakdown or complete failure. A discharge of up to 60% (when the voltage at the terminals is less than 11 V) can cause serious trouble. One full discharge reduces the battery life by at least 25%.
Buying a battery for a Lada VAZ 2110 car is not difficult. You just need to choose the correct polarity, overall dimensions and other parameters of the battery. This will allow you to easily operate the vehicle.
What else should you pay attention to?
An important factor in any car battery is the starting current. And the higher this value, the better and faster your car will start. This is especially important in winter, when the load on the battery increases.
Nowadays, many models of VAZ cars, including 2110, are installed off the assembly line with Akom batteries, the starting current of which is about 425 Amperes. Unfortunately, this figure is not very high and it is impossible to boast of a good start in winter frosts. Therefore, when replacing the factory battery, when this becomes necessary, I would advise choosing a battery with a large starting current value, at least 450 and above.
Features of battery care
If you have installed a 6ST-55A battery in your car, then pay attention to the following recommendations that will allow the power element to work out the period stated by the manufacturer:
- Do not allow the battery to become deeply discharged.
- Make sure that the output voltage is at least 10V.
- Conventional batteries are designed for only 10 charge/discharge cycles.
- Turn off all devices (equipment) in the vehicle when parked.
- Regularly check the functionality of your car alternator.
- 6ST-55A is a maintenance-free battery, but plugs are still present on the case so that you can access individual banks. This is necessary so that the density of the electrolyte in the battery can be adjusted. In winter, it is recommended to increase this figure to 1.3 gcm3. In summer - 1.23 gcm cubic.
- Discharging the battery by 50% in summer and 25% in winter is a signal that it’s time to charge the battery.
What is the polarity of Niva car batteries?
What is the polarity of the batteries on Niva family cars? The Niva car is VAZ’s brainchild, so the car, like all cars of the VAZ Niva family, is based on the direct polarity of the battery.
What is the polarity of the battery on a Chevrolet Niva? Chevrolet Niva is essentially the same Niva, produced under the Chevrolet brand. The production of the Chevrolet Niva car is carried out at the VAZ Tolyatti automobile plant. Therefore, on cars manufactured under the Chevrolet Niva brand, direct battery polarity is used. That is, when choosing a battery for a Chevrolet Niva, the “+” on the battery should be on the left.
