Batteries on Kia Ceed

If there is a need to replace the battery on the Kia Sid car, then do not neglect this operation. It is important not only to take into account some of the nuances when doing the work, but also to choose the right battery. How to do this correctly will be described in detail in this article.

Life and when to change

Conventional acid batteries can last up to 7 years, provided that a high-quality product has been installed on the car that has been used intermittently.

Regular batteries fully meet these requirements, so if the car was purchased in the cabin, then you can not worry about the battery for a long time.

If the car is more than 5 years old, then you can play it safe and replace the battery before the car stops turning on, because the battery is completely dead. Installing a new battery is best done in early fall.

In winter, the load on the battery increases significantly due to the frequent inclusion of additional electrical equipment and cold weather.

In addition, if the old battery has sat down as a result of a drop in density, then the electrolyte inside the cans can turn into ice even with relatively little frost, which can lead to a complete failure of the product.

What characteristics should you look at when choosing

In order to ensure long-term operation of a new battery, it is imperative to take into account several nuances before choosing a product, for example:

Firm manufacturer. New brands of car batteries appear on the domestic market as traffic police officers on the highway after the announcement of Operation Interception. Understanding this variety can be difficult, so it is better to give preference to products from well-known manufacturers. The batteries of the companies: Varta, Bosh, Mutlu.

Capacity. The battery life on a single charge will depend on this characteristic. Despite the fact that at “0” the battery cannot be discharged, but they must be able to withstand long-term energy consumption without feeding from the generator. When choosing a new battery, the manufacturer's instructions regarding battery power must be taken into account.

You can put sources with a small margin, a slight excess in terms of Ah usually does not negatively affect the performance of the battery. If the filling of the car is restyled and more powerful engines are used, then in this case you will also need to purchase a battery with a large capacity indicator and maximum discharge current.

Cold scroll current. The higher it is, the more likely it is to start at a negative temperature.

The location of the terminals. Kia Sid cars manufactured for the domestic South Korean market have significantly different terminal sizes (smaller diameter), which should be taken into account if the car was driven from this eastern country. The Russified models manufactured in the Kaliningrad Region are equipped with standard batteries with EURO terminals.

When selecting a new battery, one should also take into account the polarity, that is, the position of the negative and positive terminals on the case.

In addition to the listed qualities of a new battery, you should definitely know the year of manufacture of the battery. This information is usually knocked out on the top cover of the product. If more than 1 year (for acid) and more than one and a half years (for gel, etc.) has elapsed since the production of the battery, then the purchase should be abandoned.

Which battery to choose

Depending on the type of engine and its size, the battery may vary.It is also worth remembering that, depending on the modification and release date of the car, the dimensions and type of housing will also be different.

How to change the battery

If the standard battery on the Kia Sid often runs out, then you need to replace the battery. The location of the battery in this machine is on the left in motion. To perform this operation, you must:

  • Turn off the ignition.
  • Open the hood.
  • Disconnect the native battery from the connected wires (first, the negative terminal is removed).
  • Unscrew the battery mount with a wrench.
  • Remove the protective cover.
  • Install a new battery, performing the above steps in reverse order.

If a fully charged battery was installed on the Kia Sid, then immediately after connecting you can start the engine and hit the road.
