Batteries 70B24L / R

Rechargeable batteries marked 70B24L / R are among the most popular. They are equipped with most Asian-made cars with a 1.4-1.8 liter engine with an average amount of electronics on board. But when replacing the battery, the question may arise, why different manufacturers, in spite of the same marking, have different characteristics and what to do about it.

What is a 70B24L battery

Markings of this type are found only on batteries for Asian cars (Japanese, Korean, Chinese). The fact is that for several years a single standard was developed for the battery for Asian cars, it was called JIS D 5301: 2016. Now, each manufacturer, in addition to its encoding, must add another one made according to the JIS standard.

Thanks to this, it has become much easier for people to choose a new battery. You do not need to delve into all the technical specifications of each manufacturer, since a battery with only one marking is suitable for each car. You can find it out either by looking at the old battery, or through selecting the battery by make and model of the car in the online store.

Decryption of the battery 70B24L and70B24R

The battery is decrypted very simply:

1. The number 70 is a relative indicator, it is calculated from the reserve capacity and the cold scroll current. Therefore, capacities and inrush currents may differ for different manufacturers, but after calculating according to the formula, the coefficient will be equal to 70.
2. The letter B indicates the form factor, namely that it is 220 mm high and 127 mm wide.
3. The number 24 is long in centimeters, that is 240 mm.
4. The letters L and R indicate the polarity of the battery, namely the location of the negative terminal. L is the negative terminal on the left, R is the negative terminal on the right.

You can also see additional designation, such as:

• Ah. A two-digit number meaning capacity, the higher the capacity, the more powerful the battery and the easier it is to spin a large motor and maintain a large number of electronics.
• A. A three-digit number indicating the starting current, the higher it is, the easier it will be to start in the winter.
• MF. Low maintenance battery.
• CMF Maintenance free battery.
• SMF Sealed maintenance free battery. 
• ASIA. It says that the type of terminals for Asian cars, but in this case, all batteries will have the type of terminals ASIA.

Knowing all these designations it will not be difficult to understand the main technical characteristics.

General characteristics of the battery 70B24L / R

Different manufacturers will partly have different characteristics. The capacity of the error knowledge will be no more than 10, but the starting current can vary significantly. Therefore, if the car is operated in cold regions, it is better to take it with the maximum value of the cold scroll current.

• Capacity 55-60 Ah. For AGM and EFB 45-50 Ah;
• Starting current 460-450 A;
• Voltage 12 V;
• It is long 232-240 mm;
• Height 220-227 mm;
• Width 127-129 mm;
• Negative terminal 11.1;
• Positive terminal 12.7;
• The mass of the filled battery 12-13 kg.

As you can see, the sizes can also vary slightly, but this does not affect the installation in the seat.

Analogs from various manufacturers
