Battery for Hyundai Solaris

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.

Battery selection options

Direct and reverse polarity
When choosing a battery for Hyundai Solaris, you should consider the following parameters:

1. Analyze the condition of the battery by assessing its appearance. There should be no dents, scratches or cracks in the body.
2. Batteries have different polarities. Therefore, you need to take into account the location of the negative and positive terminals. If the poles are reversed, there may not be enough wires to connect. Hyundai Solaris is equipped with Asian-type batteries with reverse polarity.
3. On Hyundai Solaris, the factory battery has a capacity of 60 A/h, 65 A/h is allowed. When choosing a capacity, it is necessary to take into account the technical characteristics of the generator. Undercharging or overcharging the battery can damage it. Therefore, the battery must match the generator, which supplies power to the electrical equipment of the car.
4. An important parameter is the starting current, measured in amperes. Its value is important when starting a car: the higher it is, the faster the car will start. This is especially important in frosty weather. The starting current of the battery for Hyundai Solaris is 500-600 A.
5. When choosing a new battery, you should measure the dimensions of the old one, otherwise the new device may not fit into its normal place. The Hyundai Solaris battery has dimensions: 230x175x205 mm.
6. You need to pay attention to the date of manufacture. Batteries have a service life of 3 to 5 years. Therefore, a newer device will last longer. For a car battery, the service life begins from the date of its manufacture, and not from the moment of installation in the car.
7. Rechargeable batteries can be of two types: serviced and maintenance-free. Hyundai Solaris is equipped with a maintenance-free type from the factory.
8. When purchasing, you must require the presentation of a quality certificate and guarantee, which will protect you from purchasing a low-quality product.

When buying a battery, you should check the charging and measure the density of the electrolyte (video author Avtozvuk.ua - Avtozvuk Base).

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.

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.

Battery on a new car

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 on 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.
