The Semerka's on-board electrical system is powered by a battery and a generator. Turning on the car performs battery for VAZ 2107
, it also powers other electrical consumers when the engine is turned off. The generator provides power after the engine is turned on. It can work for decades. The service life of the energy storage device is limited.
The battery supplies electricity to the starter motor to spin the crankshaft and supplies voltage to the ignition system to turn the engine on. Additional consumers of electricity are the audio system, lighting, and heating system. The energy storage device helps to supply electricity to the car in case of increased load on the on-board electrical network, when the generator cannot cope with its function.

The battery determines how quickly the car will start and how electrical appliances will operate when the engine is not running. Therefore, it is important to choose the right device. The article discusses the battery for the VAZ 2107 car: what parameters should be taken into account when choosing, what are the main faults.
Polarity
The polarity of the VAZ-2107 battery characterizes the position of the battery terminals for connection to the on-board network. Currently, batteries are produced in two types according to polarity - direct and reverse. This parameter seems to be minor, but if it is not taken into account, problems with connecting to the network may arise.
The polarity is determined very simply - turn the battery towards you “facing” (the terminals should be located closer to you) and look where the “positive” terminal is located. If it is on the left, the polarity is straight, on the right, it is reversed.
Since direct polarity was used in the Soviet Union (it is also additionally called “Russian”), it can be understood that this is what is used on the VAZ-2107. That is, when choosing a battery for this car, you need a battery whose “plus” is located on the left (but it is important to correctly place the battery in front of you when determining the polarity).
Selection options
In order to choose a VAZ-2107 battery among the many offers, you should take into account several factors, namely:
- Type;
- Capacity;
- Starting current;
- Polarity;
- Dimensional parameters;
- Price category;
If you take all of the above into account, choosing a battery and installing it on a car to replace a worn one will not be difficult.
As for the type of battery, according to this parameter, batteries can be divided into:
- Serviced;
- Maintenance free;
Serviceable batteries are equipped with special plugs on the top cover.
In such a battery, it is possible to open each of the cans, check the electrolyte level and, if necessary, replenish it and bring the density to the required level. On the one hand, this is a positive quality, since periodic maintenance allows you to extend the service life. But on the other hand, such a battery is another element that requires attention.
In maintenance-free batteries, the case is sealed and they do not require any intervention from the driver, the only thing is that you will have to periodically recharge it.
All consumers of electricity in any vehicle receive it from two suppliers - the main and backup. Most of the time, the generator operates as a source, and we need the battery when we need to start the engine and during sudden surges in electricity consumption. The “life” of a battery cannot be called easy, both in heat and cold (especially in frost) it must regularly produce a large current. Constant “stress” breaks it down and we start thinking about buying a new battery. So how can you choose a battery for the VAZ-2107 without overpaying for unnecessary bells and whistles? Let's try to figure it out.
How does a battery work?
The battery can ensure the fulfillment of the main task - to power the starter and all consumers of electricity of the VAZ-2107 car, using chemical reactions. This method has been known for more than a hundred years. When charging from an external source or generator, chemical transformations of lead and sulfuric acid take place inside the battery, and when discharging, the process proceeds in the opposite direction. Over and over again, these processes are repeated, gradually wearing out the filler (active mass) and chipping it. Because of this, our battery stores less and less energy and, one “bad” day, we cannot start the engine. The life of a battery is shortened by deep discharges, short circuits, freezing of the electrolyte (this is when a discharged battery is left outside in the cold), overcharging when the relay regulator is “broken” and other reasons. How to prepare your battery for winter can be found here . A high-quality battery, with careful use, can last up to 7 years on a VAZ-2107. But, on average, they last from 3 to 5 years.
The plant recommends installing this battery on the VAZ-2107 - 6ST55. This brand means that the battery is needed as a starter (produces a high current during short starts), consists of six compartments (cans), the electrical capacity is 55 ampere-hours. Now, from this marking, only the electrical capacity is relevant when purchasing, the rest of the information is outdated.
Selecting the battery type
In stores you can find serviced and maintenance-free batteries.
If there are traffic jams, the battery requires a little more of your attention. You will have to monitor the electrolyte level and check the density. Please note the following - the plugs are hidden under stickers, which does not make the battery maintenance-free.
There are no plugs, access to the electrolyte is closed - this is a maintenance-free battery. The entire period of its operation is provided by internal resources. You only need to monitor the voltage in the on-board network. These batteries are significantly more expensive.
Don't forget about polarity
Batteries are produced with direct or reverse polarity. If you buy the “wrong” one, it won’t fit, the wires won’t be long enough. For our VAZ-2107 we need a battery with direct polarity, this is when the right is “minus” and the left is “plus”, when viewed from the side on which the terminals are installed. This polarity has its roots in the USSR and is used on most domestic cars.
What battery capacity is suitable for the VAZ-2107
This number in the marking is of great importance. The minimum required capacity for our harsh climate is 55 ampere-hours. The battery compartment can accommodate a maximum battery capacity of no more than 62 amp-hours. The higher this number, the longer in winter you can “turn” the engine, which means the greater the chance of a successful start. For injection engines, starting conditions are facilitated by a special starting program, so you can install a battery with a smaller capacity.
What does inrush current affect?
This parameter affects the power that the starter consumes when starting the engine. And everything depends on the internal “structure” of the battery - the thicker the conductive plates, the purer the electrolyte and the better the active mass, the higher the starting current will be. In cold weather, a high starting current is good, the starter spins faster, and the engine starts more confidently. The starting current of batteries can be from approximately 300 to 1000 amperes. The battery in the photo delivers 530 amperes at startup, which is quite enough for central Russia.
Battery drains quickly
One of the problems of the Seven is that the battery discharges to such a level that it does not turn on the starter. This is caused by an insufficiently charged battery or a large loss of current. This may indicate poor contact on the relay regulator.
When the battery on the device lights up on a VAZ 2107
, which means the battery is not charged.
The indicator showing the battery charge should go out when the engine is turned on. If the battery light on a VAZ 2107 is on
, and the battery is discharged, then the reasons may be the following:
- malfunctions on the relay regulator;
- worn or stuck brushes in the brush holder;
- One of the diodes in the generator is not working.
Good battery for VAZ 2107
serves from 5 to 7 years. Since the batteries of most “Sevens” quickly go out of working order, the battery model deserves your attention - Autopower. It is considered the best in quality, in addition, a 3-year warranty period is provided by the Czech Manufacturer AUTOPOWER.

Battery features for different “Seven” models
VAZ 2107 is a sedan with four doors. It began to be produced in 1982 on the basis of the Lada 2105 at the AvtoVAZ plant. The main components and internal structure of the VAZ 2107 have not changed. The “Seven” differs from the VAZ 2105 in its interior trim, plastic bumpers, chrome-plated radiator grille, installation of an oil pressure indicator, tachometer, changing the speedometer to 180 km/h, and the shape of the hood. In 2001, a new model VAZ 2107 - 21074 appeared with a 1.7 liter engine producing 77 hp. With.
The battery capacity depends on the type and size of the engine. Since 1982, the “Seven” has been updated with new types of engines.
Engine volume, cubic meters cm
Manual Transmission
The Semerka car is equipped with a 6ST-55 battery in accordance with the state standard. It is located near the engine, in front of the car on the right. The energy storage device has the following features:
- rated voltage of the energy storage device, 12 V;
- nominal capacity, when the discharge mode lasts 20 hours and the electrolyte temperature is +25 ⁰C at the beginning of the discharge, 55Ah;
- charge current, 5.5A.
The energy storage device consists of 6 batteries with a voltage of 2 V, which are connected in series. The batteries are placed in isolated parts of the energy storage device filled with electrolyte. The energy storage compartments are equipped with holes and are closed with lids. At the edges of the case there are positive and negative terminals to connect the electrical wiring of the “seven”.
Battery replacement
After purchasing a new battery, it should be replaced. This is easy to do on a VAZ-2107:
- Open the hood;
- Remove the “positive” terminal from the battery, then the “negative” terminal;
- We dismantle the fastening elements;
- We remove the “old” battery and put a new one in its place;
- We fix;
- We connect the terminals and tighten them well (first “positive”, then “negative”);
When performing a replacement, it is important not to “over-plus” the battery, that is, not to confuse the terminals and terminals. After fixing the terminals, it is advisable to treat them with some viscous material (Solidol, Vaseline) so that the terminals do not oxidize.
Which good battery to choose for VAZ: top 10 rating
The following is a list of the most profitable solutions for installation on domestic cars.
10th place: BOSCH S4 005 Silver
– View in Yandex.Market Price from 5000 rub.
Oddly enough, the Bosch model occupies the last place in the top. The mid-budget modification has sufficient starting current and a capacity of 540A and 60 Ah, respectively. However, the good “on paper” characteristics in practical use are significantly inferior to analogues. The reserve capacity of the unit is inferior to its substitutes and is actually at the level of batteries in the lower price range. The next negative factor is complete uselessness in severe frosts. In the warm climate of the southern regions, starting problems do not arise. However, at -20-25 degrees Celsius, after the first cranking of the starter, a drop in power occurs, which is perceived extremely negatively by domestic cars. The inability to cope with deep discharge modes also stands out. Resuscitating the capacity is extremely problematic. The result is low demand among buyers. Advantages:
- capacity and starting current;
- availability of factory warranty.
- drop in power after the first cycle of starting the internal combustion engine;
- intolerance to severe frosts.
9th place: ExideExcell EB602
– View in Yandex.Market Price from 4300 rub.
The answer to the question of which battery is best for the VAZ 2107 and other classics will be 9th place in the rating. The presented model stands out among competitors' offerings with average characteristics in all areas. There is a good capacity here - 62 Ah, which is good for older cars where there are problems with the wiring or a lot of additional electrical equipment is installed. A starting current of 540A is also quite sufficient. Good build quality and thoughtful design have a positive effect on operation. A supposedly maintenance-free battery can be “restored” thanks to the presence of hidden caps for refilling electrolyte. The same jars are located under the decorative lids. The next factor is excellent frost resistance. The cheap battery functions properly in temperatures down to -35, which is a good result even for the leaders on the list. There is also a low susceptibility to self-discharge, which has a positive effect on long vehicle downtimes in winter. The likelihood of finding a car with a “dead” battery in the garage is minimal. The low ranking of the top is due to a drop in charging speed and reserve capacity in the cold. Advantages:
- quality at a reasonable cost;
- starting current indicators;
- resistance to freezing;
- lifetime.
- performance drops with decreasing temperature.
8th place: ToplaEnergy 60
– View in Yandex.Market Price from 4800 rub.
A time-tested modification of the ToplaSlavenskoye company. After analyzing customer reviews, we can establish that the strength of the battery is a good resource and a good starting current of 600 A. The actual capacity is 60 Ah, which is also not bad. Optimistically considering the option when asked which battery is best for a VAZ car, you can safely choose this model. Small-volume gasoline fours go well with the unit. Starting currents easily turn the car starter in winter. Also, long periods of downtime are not a problem - the susceptibility to self-discharge is minimal. However, when installed on diesel engines and impressive power plants, pitfalls are revealed. For example, there is concern about the charge being released too quickly during a cold start. If you cannot start the engine the first 2-3 times, then starting the internal combustion engine will be problematic. The low position of the top is due precisely to the rate of fire of the model. In some regions of Russia this may become a critical factor. Advantages:
- decent quality;
- starting current;
- The capacity reserve is suitable for tuned models;
- resistance to shaking.
- charge release and, as a consequence, a limited number of attempts to start the internal combustion engine in winter.
Starting current
Starting current is a battery power parameter. It indicates the maximum current value the battery can deliver in a short period of time. Essentially, this is an indicator of the battery’s ability to start the engine under unfavorable conditions (in this case, low temperature).
When selecting a battery according to this criterion, you should take into account the region in which the car is operated. So, for the southern regions, you can especially consider the values of the starting current (a battery with average values is also quite suitable). But for northern regions, the higher the starting current value, the better, since the likelihood that the battery will be able to start the engine in severe frosts is greater.
Dimensions
Let's move on to the overall parameters, since they also need to be taken into account. In the engine compartment there is a special area with fasteners for installing the battery. If you choose the wrong battery size, it may simply not fit on this site, which is why the reliability of its fastening will be in question. The required dimensions of the VAZ-2107 battery are as follows: length - 242 mm, width - 175 mm, height - 190 mm. Let us immediately note that most batteries with a capacity of up to 60 Ah have exactly these dimensions.
So, we have determined that for the VAZ-2107, a battery with a capacity of 50-60 Ah, with direct polarity, will be optimal. As for starting currents, we focus on the weather conditions of the region in which the car is used.
As for price categories, it all depends on how much you can spend on the battery. If finances allow, then it is better to take batteries from well-known manufacturers (BOSH, Mutlu, etc.), although they are more expensive. But there will be confidence that the battery characteristics correspond to the declared ones. You can, of course, buy a battery from a little-known manufacturer, but no one will guarantee the quality and compliance of the characteristics.
Capacity
Capacity is one of the most basic parameters of any battery (measured in Amp-hours). If we look at this term in a simple way, it indicates how much energy the battery holds. This parameter is determined using a long-term discharge (20 hours) under strictly established temperature conditions (+25 degrees C).
According to GOST, a battery with a capacity of 55 Ah is installed for the VAZ-2107, but this is more of a recommendation than a strict requirement. A battery with both 50 Ah and 60 Ah will work well on this car. But here it should be understood that the higher the capacitance value, the more energy it will contain. Taking into account the fact that additional consumers are now installed on cars (audio system, all kinds of auxiliary equipment), additional Amp-hours will not be superfluous.
One more nuance regarding capacity. The VAZ-2107 was produced with power plants that used different power systems - carburetor and injector. So, for the carburetor version you need a battery with a larger capacity than for the injection version. This is explained simply - the injector makes it easier to start the engine under different conditions, which means the starter consumes less energy. Therefore, in the case of an injection power system, a battery with a capacity of 50-55 Ah will be quite sufficient; for the carburetor version it is better to install a 60 Ah battery.
Gel (maintenance-free) battery device
The third type of battery is called gel. The technology is called GEL; in gel batteries, the electrolyte is thickened to a gel-like state with silica gel. There is no way to check the fluid level in them - it is not serviceable. They have a very high electrolyte level above the plates and a density reserve.
One start of the engine takes as much energy from the battery as it receives from the generator in 10-15 minutes at normal speed. In winter the discharge is greater. The battery may not be fully charged if daily trips are short. The generator does not have time to fully charge the battery, so occasionally it is recommended to charge the battery from a charger at home.
In summer you need to check the electrolyte level because the heat causes water to evaporate. It evaporates even when the car is standing. If necessary (if the design allows), distilled water (and only water) should be added.
Transferring the battery to the trunk
On the VAZ 2107, the power supply is normally located under the hood. Some owners of “Sevens” and other “classics” transfer the battery to the trunk, explaining this with the following advantages:
- more space under the hood, which is important when planning car tuning;
- the location of the battery in the trunk prevents it from severe freezing at sub-zero temperatures, which will ensure easier engine starting in winter;
- Battery protection against theft.
Regardless of your goals, you need to take into account that getting the battery out if the trunk is fully loaded will not be easy. In addition, harmful fumes are released from the energy source. To carry and securely secure the product in the luggage compartment of the “seven” you will need:
- platform for the battery;
- terminals for battery contacts;
- tips for mounting the mass;
- battery fastening;
- cable with a cross section of 25 mm² and a length of 6 m.
Photo gallery: consumables for transferring the battery to the trunk
The procedure for transferring and installing the battery in the trunk boils down to the following steps:
- We drill holes for the battery platform in the trunk.
- We lay the cable from the luggage compartment to the engine compartment through the passenger compartment (the length should be enough to reach the solenoid relay on the starter).
- We press the tip onto the wire and screw it to the relay.
Battery selection, cost
When choosing this unit for a VAZ 2107 car, it will be necessary to take into account the overall dimensions:
- length, mm – 242;
- width, mm – 175;
- height, mm – 190.
It should be noted that most batteries have exactly these overall dimensions. When purchasing, you need to focus on batteries with straight polarity with a capacity of 50-60 Ah.

Mounting the battery VAZ 2107
The VAZ 2107 power supply is installed in the engine compartment on the right side on a special platform and is secured using a strip. This way the battery is fixed, which prevents it from moving around the site while the car is moving.
How to prevent theft
Owners of Zhiguli cars often face the problem of battery theft, which is due to the considerable cost of this part. The fact is that opening the hood of a “classic”, especially for an experienced attacker, is not particularly difficult. How to protect yourself and your car from such a situation? There are several options to solve the problem:
- parking the car in a guarded parking lot;
- storing a car in a garage;
- alarm installation (depending on the connection diagram).
However, the methods listed are not always suitable for everyone. In this case, to protect the battery from theft, you can resort to additional security measures:
- install the lock on the hood;
- take the battery with you at all times;
- securely fasten the battery.
Not every car owner will agree to resort to the first option, since this will require welding brackets for a padlock onto the hood, which will ruin the appearance of the car. Not everyone will like to carry the battery with them all the time. There remains an option for a more reliable battery mount. One of the options for protecting a power supply from theft is to use fasteners with a secret, which will force the attacker to spend more time, and sometimes even retreat from their plans. The option of soldering the fastener is also possible, but it should be borne in mind that this method will create serious problems for the car owner in conditions of force majeure.
Some car enthusiasts modify the platform for the battery, making it in the form of a box and installing a lock, for which you will need to use a welding machine. There is another way to complicate the theft of a part - strengthening it with a chain and installing a padlock. It is important to understand that the most effective protection is a set of measures that will prevent the theft of the battery from the car.
