Key specifications

• Nominal voltage: 12 V
• Capacity: 70 Ah (ampere-hour)
• Chemistry: lead-acid (starter battery)
• Application: engine starting for passenger vehicles
• Typical use: supports lighting, audio, and common onboard electronics during start

How to use

Before installation, ensure the vehicle ignition is off and follow manufacturer safety procedures. Remove the old battery, clean the battery tray and terminal clamps from corrosion, and verify the replacement fits the tray and has correct terminal orientation. Mount the battery securely, connect the positive terminal first and then the negative terminal, and tighten clamps to the recommended torque. After installation, start the engine and check for stable voltage and normal electrical system operation. Dispose of the removed battery following local regulations for lead-acid battery recycling.

Usage recommendations

For best long-term performance, maintain clean terminals and ensure secure mounting. Avoid deep discharges and prolonged storage in a discharged state. If the vehicle is left unused for extended periods, consider periodic charging or use of a maintenance charger to prevent sulfation and preserve capacity.
