What is a 55B24L / R battery?
At one time, all batteries for Asian cars were brought to the same standard. This was done so that it would be easier for people to choose their own battery without delving into the characteristics of each manufacturer. Thanks to this, now for replacement you can come to the store and take any battery with the same marking from any manufacturer and it will fit your car without any problems.
Batteries marked 55B24L / R are suitable for Asian small-size gasoline cars. Battery life is highly dependent on the manufacturer and the technology used. Most companies use calcium technology, which allows them to last 5 years. With careful care up to 7 years.
55B24L and 55B24R battery decryption
All the necessary characteristics that you need to know when choosing a battery are encrypted in the marking.
- The number 55 is calculated by a special formula and is the ratio of the capacitance to the current of the cold scroll. This is a relative value, so the capacitance and inrush current will differ for different models;
- The letter B means that the width is 127 mm and the height is 200 mm;
- The number 24, it is long in centimeters, that is, 24 cm or 240 mm;
- L and R mean direct (R, 1) and reverse (L, 0) polarity.
Before the number 55, you can also find letter designations:
- MF - low maintenance.
- CMF - maintenance free.
- SMF - tight maintenance-free;
The rest of the designations are global and are equally indicated by all manufacturers around the world.
General characteristics of the battery 55B24L / R
Indicator 55 is indicated in the battery marking; it should not be confused with the capacity designation in Ah. This is an integrated indicator that takes into account the battery capacity and current consumed during cold start. Specifications are as follows:
- Capacity - 45 A / h;
- Starting current - from 330 to 570 A;
- Width - 127 mm;
- Height - 200 mm;
- It is long - 240 mm;
- Voltage - 12 V;
- Mass - about 12 kg;
- Terminals - Narrow type ASIA, minus 13.0 mm, plus - 14.7 mm.
For ease of installation and transfer, the battery has a handle. During operation, you can exercise the necessary control over the level of charge using the built-in indicators.
Analogs from various manufacturers
Many manufacturers produce 55B24L / R batteries as a high-quality and reliable model. But if you don’t know which brand to trust, then we can recommend you the following models:

| Medalist | 55B24L / R | 45 | 430 | 238x129x227 |
| Fb super nova | 55B24L / R | 45 | 570 | 236x126x227 |
The table shows the technical data of the most common batteries, which can be used as an analog from various manufacturers. The main thing is to choose with the correct polarity. If your cars have a lot of electrical equipment, then you need to take with the maximum value of the starting current. Also, a high cold scroll current is recommended for those who operate a car in cold regions.
