The acquisition of a new car battery is not an easy task. It is especially difficult to choose a product recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. The manufacturers of batteries for Asian cars have developed a single standard for batteries, thanks to which, regardless of the manufacturer, everyone will have unified markings. In this article, we analyze the battery with the marking 60B24L / R.

What is a 60B24L / R battery?
The battery 60B24L / R is a modern device that allows you to provide the necessary amount of electric current to small cars. The specifics of using the battery is due to the fact that the product has a small length, so it easily fits in the engine compartment of a small car.
With a small length, the height of the product is significant, which does not allow the use of such a battery on machines with a low hood location. The terminals of the 60B24L / R battery are made according to the ASIA standard, so such batteries will not work for European cars.
Decryption of the battery 60B24L and 60B24R
Before you go to the store for a new battery, it is advisable to find out the meaning of the symbols in the marking of batteries of this type.
Explanation of designations 60B24R and 60B24L is as follows:
- The first 2 digits are an indicator of the integral ratio of the capacity of the device to the starting current.
- The next letter encrypts the size of the battery. The symbol "B" indicates that the product has a width of 127 mm and a height of 200 mm.
- The next 2 digits are the length of the battery in centimeters.
- The last Latin letter indicates the location of the negative terminal on the battery case (L - left, R - right)
It should be recalled that only batteries made in Asia are designated in this way. Such batteries are made with Asian terminals, which have a minus terminal diameter of 13 mm, a plus - 14.7 mm.
General characteristics of the battery 60B24L / R
The fundamental difference between the 60B24R and 60B24L battery models is only in the arrangement of the terminals on the case (polarity). All other technical specifications for this type of battery are identical and have the following meanings:
- Length - 236 mm.
- Width - 127 mm.
- Height - 200 mm.
- Capacity - 45-55 A / h.
- The current of the cold scroll is 430-495 A.
- Voltage is 12 volts.
The capacity and inrush current for batteries marked 60B24L / R may differ, so the first number 60 is a relative indicator, which is calculated by a special formula in which the capacitance and cold current are taken as the initial data.
Also, depending on the technology by which the battery was made, its housing can be made using the MF, or SMF technology. In the first case, the battery case has holes with screw caps. This design allows you to add distilled water to the banks. The SMF battery case is fully sealed.
Analogs from various manufacturers
On the market you can find a large number of batteries, which are full or partial analogues of the battery 60B24L / R. Among such products, the following models are most in demand:
| Title | Capacity, Ah | Starting current, A |
|---|---|---|
| Forse | 45 | 430 |
| Delkor | 45 | 430 |
| Yuasa | 45 | 490 |
| Hankook | 48 | 460 |
| Fb7000 | 48 | 470 |
| ECO.R | 48 | 490 |
| Alaska | 50 | 450 |
| Totachi | 50 | 460 |
| Aktex | 50 | 470 |
| Giver | 55 | 470 |
In many cases, incomplete analogs are ideally suited for installation on a regular place batteries type 60B24R or 60B24L. The main rule for installing such a product is the selection of a device that will completely match the original in polarity and diameter of the terminals.
