Hyundai Solaris is a popular car model in Russia. It sells well, as can be seen from the statistics, and is not surprising, since it has excellent characteristics in the price-quality ratio. And there is always a demand for it in the secondary market, due to the availability of spare parts.
But, if it is necessary to replace the battery, sellers in a car dealership cannot always suggest a worthy analogue, despite the popularity of the “Korean”. The article will talk about what kind of battery is in the Hyundai Solaris, how to replace it and what to consider when choosing an analogue.
Selection options
Many car drivers don't often look under the hood.
At the same time, the need for periodic inspection of the battery is overlooked. This will extend its service life. In case of failure, you need to take into account the main characteristics of the battery for a particular car. When choosing a battery for Hyundai Solaris, you should consider the following parameters:
- Analyze the condition of the battery by assessing its appearance. There should be no dents, scratches or cracks in the body.
- Batteries have different polarities. Therefore, you need to take into account the location of the negative and positive terminals. If the poles are reversed, there may not be enough wires to connect. Hyundai Solaris is equipped with Asian-type batteries with reverse polarity.
- On Hyundai Solaris, the factory battery has a capacity of 60 A/h, 65 A/h is allowed. When choosing a capacity, it is necessary to take into account the technical characteristics of the generator. Undercharging or overcharging the battery can damage it. Therefore, the battery must match the generator, which supplies power to the electrical equipment of the car.
- An important parameter is the starting current, measured in amperes. Its value is important when starting a car: the higher it is, the faster the car will start. This is especially important in frosty weather. The starting current of the battery for Hyundai Solaris is 500-600 A.
When choosing a new battery, you should measure the dimensions of the old one, otherwise the new device may not fit into its normal place. The Hyundai Solaris battery has dimensions: 230×175×205 mm.
You need to pay attention to the date of manufacture. Batteries have a service life of 3 to 5 years. Therefore, a newer device will last longer. For a car battery, the service life begins from the date of its manufacture, and not from the moment of installation in the car.
Rechargeable batteries can be of two types: serviced and maintenance-free. Hyundai Solaris is equipped with a maintenance-free type from the factory.
When purchasing, you must require the presentation of a quality certificate and guarantee, which will protect you from purchasing a low-quality product.
New cars leaving the factory assembly line are equipped with a standard DELKOR65D23L or DELKOR75D23L battery. Its characteristics are:
- nominal capacity - 60 A*h;
- starting current - 550 A;
- polarity - reverse;
- overall dimensions - 232x173x225 (with terminals);
- case type - Asian;
- fastening type - front and rear, without side protrusions.
The “native” battery on the Hyundai Solaris is of very good quality and, with proper operation, is unlikely to remind itself of itself earlier than three years from the date of purchase. If, instead of a standard one, you purchase a battery with the same markings from the store, then you can install it in the car absolutely calmly. Any other model must be judged by its characteristics.
First of all, these are the dimensions of the product. The battery space in Solaris is very limited, and it is simply unrealistic to install a large battery there. The type of fastening is also important.
A battery with a smaller capacity may not be able to cope under heavy loads (for example, in severe frosts), and a more powerful one will be systematically undercharged due to the design features of the generator of this car.
If the new battery is completely identical to the standard one in all respects, then replacing the battery on a Hyundai Solaris is a fairly simple operation. It is performed in the following sequence:
- Turn off all electrical appliances, including the radio, and turn off the ignition.
- Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery (disconnect ground), then remove the wire from the positive terminal.
- Remove the insulating pad from the battery.
- Using a socket wrench or 12mm socket, unscrew the bracket holding the battery.
- Remove the old battery.
- Install a new battery to replace the removed one.
- Reassemble all parts in reverse order.

When buying a battery, you should check the charging and measure the density of the electrolyte (video author Avtozvuk.ua - Avtozvuk Base).
Maintenance and faults
During operation, the battery is constantly charged and discharged. During charging, the electrolyte boils, which leads to a decrease in its level.
Maintenance consists of monitoring the electrolyte level. To check the level, you need to unscrew the cap on each of the six cans.
If the technical liquid does not cover the lead plates, then you need to add distilled water to the required level.
The density of the electrolyte is determined by a hydrometer; it should be 1.27 mg/m3. At least once a year you should charge the battery using a charger.
Car charger
During operation, the following rules should be adhered to:
- the battery must be securely fastened to the seat;
- the surface of the battery must be dry and clean;
- the wires at the terminals must be securely fastened.
If the battery is not maintained, the plates are destroyed and sulfated. The result is a short circuit between the positive and negative elements. Failure of any of the cans makes further use of the battery impossible.
Battery Removal Basics
To dismantle the battery, you need to perform the following steps:
- First of all, you should disconnect the negative cable.
- To remove the positive cable, press the latches and remove the protective cover. Removing the cover from the terminal
- Next, you need to remove the protective insulating casing of the battery.
- Using the “12” socket, you need to unscrew the bolt of the pressure plate that holds the battery.
- The pressure plate must be removed together with the bolt. Removing the pressure spring
- Next, you need to move the battery forward as the car moves forward, remove the tide, which is located at the bottom of the battery, from under the ledge of the shelf on which the battery stands. After this, you can remove the charger.
Installation is performed in reverse order.

And naturally, after five to six years, which is the average life of a standard factory Hyundai Solaris battery, every owner of such a wonderful device has problems with rapid battery discharge, or even wear and destruction of the lead plates. Now, let's look at the batteries that the Korean manufacturer uses as standard batteries in Solaris cars with 1.4 and 1.6 engines.
- Capacity: 60 Ah
- Starting current: 550 A (EN)
- Dimensions: 232x173x225
- Polarity: reverse, that is [ - ]
- Mounting type: bottom clamping bar
In fact, at first glance, there are plenty of batteries on the market with this size and the right plus we need. However, most of them do not have a bottom clamping bar.
This is where I want to share my experience with you, dear readers! The lower mount, which is screwed with a 13″ bolt to the base of the platform on which the battery is located, when screwed all the way, can securely fix, attention here, any battery with a width of 173 mm.
regardless of whether it has a lower mount at its base or not. Thus, the range of possible alternatives expands significantly. Varta D47 and Gigawatt G60JR and any other battery with a base width of 173 mm are suitable here.
However, it is worth considering that it is quite problematic to unscrew the lower fasteners without having a 13″ socket head, a ratchet extension and the ratchet wrench itself.
In this case, if you are in St. Petersburg, we offer absolutely free battery replacement, it is not even included in the price of the battery - it really does not cost anything, such is the marketing and service for the client! The couriers and store clerks have all the keys, extensions and sockets necessary for this. If you still decide to buy a battery for Solaris, then below there will be links to all suitable options!
Let's first consider the battery model that is most suitable for the role of a “twin” to the standard battery.
Manufactured by the Korean company ATLAS BX, the MF35-550 has a capacity of 60 Ah and a starting current of 550 amperes, which is equivalent to standard characteristics.
Also, the model is equipped with a lower bar for tightly fixing it in the engine compartment. In addition to everything, the Korean Atlas boasts the highest quality of its assembly, produced in the Korean city of Daejeon.
The relatively low cost makes it one of the most attractive offers!
The price of Atlas MF35-550 when returning a non-working battery for replacement is 4,350 rubles.
For obvious reasons - price/quality, it is worth noting the GIGAWATT model G60JR. The battery is Czech-made, the manufacturer is part of the Johnson Controls group, which also produces batteries from the Bosch, Varta and Energizer brands at the same plant. With a capacity of 60 A/h, it has a cold start current of 510 amperes.
The cost of GIGAWATT G60JR is 3,400 rubles. when returning a used battery.
With exactly the same considerations, a good alternative is the Energizer Plus battery with the EP60J model. Czech assembly, capacity 60 ampere/hour, and a starting current of 510A will start the power unit even in severe frosts.
The cost of Energizer Plus with the EP60J model is 3,800 rubles when returning the used battery.
It is also worth considering one of the most popular battery models from the manufacturer VARTA, the Blue Dynamic D47 model. With a nominal battery capacity of 60 amperes/hour, the cold cranking current is 540 amperes. Using PowerFrame® battery technology, increases current and extends battery life.
The cost of the Varta Blue Dynamic D47 battery when returning the old battery is 4,250 rubles.
You cannot ignore such an American battery manufacturer as EXIDE. In the line of sizes we need, it is worth noting the battery, which, in addition to excellent build quality, has predominantly powerful characteristics.
The EXIDE EA654 model is produced with a capacity of 65 A/h, which will be extremely positive if non-standard equipment is installed in the car. The declared cold cranking current of 580 amperes will start your Hyundai in both sultry heat and cold weather at -40 C*.
In addition, the model has a bar at the base for tight fixation with the lower fastening.
The cost of EXIDE EA654 when returning the old battery is 5,300 rubles.
IMPORTANT. Remember that not every battery with an Asian type of case can be installed on Solaris, even if it has similar dimensions.
Pay attention to the presence of a lower side. The Solaris battery is fixed with it, just 1 bolt with a clamp. There will be no side - you simply will not be able to fix the battery.
AND REMEMBER that not all Asian analogues with similar sizes have this side. For example, most Varta and Boshon models do not have it.

Another feature of the Asian version is the elevation of the terminals above the body (in the European version they are located, as it were, in niches). The diameter of the positive terminal is 12.7 mm, the negative terminal is 11.1 mm.
ADVICE. If you want to make sure that the selected analog battery has reverse polarity, turn its terminals towards you. The positive one should be placed on the right, the negative one, respectively, on the left.
Options for replacing the standard Hyundai Solaris battery
The range of batteries that can be installed on HYUNDAI SOLARIS includes products from different manufacturers and different price categories. Among the most well-known companies are Bosch, Varta; high-quality batteries are also produced by Energizer, Mutlu, Absolut, Finfrost and Swed. The following optimal options can be identified:
- BOSCH 60 Ah S4 024. Excellent battery from a well-known manufacturer, made in the Czech Republic. The model has a two-year factory warranty and very good reviews.
- Westa 65D23L. Just like the standard battery, it is produced in South Korea. The manufacturer provides an extended warranty of 36 months for this model, which is quite good.
- Mutlu Mega 55D23FL. Model from a famous Turkish battery manufacturer. Factory warranty - 24 months from the date of sale.
- Exide Premium 65R. The battery is from the Exide plant (Poland), which is very famous in Europe. The manufacturer guarantees uninterrupted battery operation for 24 months.
- Storm Asia 60R. A model from another Polish battery manufacturer - AvtoPart. The standard manufacturer's warranty for this product is 24 months from the date of sale.
- Solite 75D23L. This battery is manufactured in South Korea by Sungwoo Automotive. The manufacturer promises that the battery will operate without interruption for at least 24 months from the date of sale.
- Tab Polar S 60R D23. Battery from Slovenian company TAB. The battery is by no means cheap, but the manufacturer gives it a warranty that is twice as long as the standard one - a full 48 months.
- Moratti Asia 65R D23L. This model is produced in Macedonia. The price for it is also not the lowest, but the warranty on the battery is 48 months from the date of sale.
- BANNER Power Bull ASIA (60 62) 60R. Battery from the Austrian company Banner GmbH. The model from a well-known manufacturer has a normal warranty period of 24 months.
The number of battery models offered by various manufacturers and suitable for installation on a Hyundai Solaris instead of standard ones is dozens. If the battery does not have a manufacturing defect, then any of them is guaranteed to last the specified period. Which model to choose is up to the car owner.
If there are design differences between the old and new batteries in terms of dimensions, mounting locations or terminal locations, redesigning the seat can be quite lengthy, and in some cases, impossible.
When installing and removing the battery, be sure to pay attention to the condition of the battery terminals. It would be a good idea to periodically clean them of oxides and lubricate them with special lubricants. This will avoid current leaks and increase the service life of the battery.
Which battery is best for Solaris: popular options
This used to be a very popular option. But now Mutlu batteries are very expensive!
After analyzing the situation on the market, we selected several battery manufacturers whose models fit into the seats no worse than their original counterparts, having only much more productive characteristics.
MEDALIST 75D23L.
The Korean analogue of the stock battery has dimensions that exceed the factory ones by only 3 mm. A starting current of 580 amperes and a capacity of 65Ah will allow you to start in any frost. The battery has very good reviews on the Internet and is completely maintenance-free. Inside there are two grilles, that is, positive and negative, which are made of a lead-calcium alloy containing tin and silver additives. Production is established both in South Korea and the USA.
What kind of battery does the Hyundai Solaris have from the factory: which one is better?
The Hyundai Solaris has been and remains one of the best-selling cars in our country for quite a long time, this is also due to reliability, low cost of maintenance and components.
However, as soon as the topic of a battery comes up, many store sellers are stumped and do not know what to offer analogues to the owners of such a popular “Korean”. In this article we will look in detail at the issues of choosing a battery for the Hyundai Solaris, describe the dimensions of the “stock” device and try to figure out analogues.
Hyundai Solaris battery: preparing a sleigh in the summer!
It's time to change the Hyundai Solaris battery. I recommend installing a battery on a small-capacity Solaris. There’s this thing: the big one is constantly undercharging, and this is death for the battery. Moreover, you will also energize the generator quite a bit.
Red summer is just the time to do major repairs, and then, in winter, drive calmly, not knowing grief and trouble. Remembering this “golden” rule, I decided to replace the battery. Because in frosts down to 30 degrees, I often couldn’t start the car. To do this, the ignition was constantly on. And so I bought a battery for the long-awaited Solaris.
We checked the voltage without load - 12.8 V. And with load it turned out - a little more than ten - 10.6. Experienced riders said that everything was fine. It was impossible to reach the bottom bolt of the battery, so I had to add a 12mm head. What can I say, the battery on the Hyundai Solaris fits perfectly! And the sizes are snug to snug.

I really hope for his longevity)))
You need to try not to plant Akum in the cold. Yes, and add some mileage so that it can be charged. Now you can have peace of mind for five years. But I have this thing: I go on business trips all the time. It happens that a car sits in the cold for up to 3 weeks. That’s why I decided, so as not to look again, to replace the battery with a solaris before winter.
Here are some additional tips for you. Hyundai Solaris cars have Asian batteries. This means that its terminals are slightly raised above the top cover. And its polarity is reversed: plus is on the right, minus is on the left (if you turn the terminals of the battery towards you).
Here are the dimensions of the Solaris battery: 229*172*225 millimeters (-2 mm)
Capacity: 60 Ah (65 Ah is possible).
Starting current: approximately 500-600 Amperes.
65D23L or 75D23L is the article number of the factory battery for the Hyundai Solaris.
Yes! You need to attach it to the bottom side. Without this protrusion nothing will work. Therefore, some batteries - Varta or Bosch - need to be clarified whether they have a protrusion or not.
Just, for the sake of G-d, don’t take it from the bazaar; bazaar sellers usually do not comply with storage conditions, and this is very important! I can say that a friend of mine checked the battery on a Hyundai Solaris this way: I have a reliable electrician.
With a tester, he checked the generator in the light: plus a stove, plus music. There is power - everything is fine, you can put Akum on Solaris and not worry. But I bought it in a normal store, so before selling it, the sellers do all this themselves. And all this is noted on my warranty receipt. Don't miss this moment!
If the battery suddenly runs out and has plugs (it is not serviceable), then they say that you can still unscrew it by purchasing a oreometer in advance to measure the density. The level should be 1.25-1.27. Then you can put it on charge by adding distilled water (not from the tap). Turn off charging at night, then turn it on again for about six hours and measure the density again.
Battery for Hyundai Solaris, how to choose?
Today, many car owners are interested in reliable and durable batteries for Hyundai Solaris. Almost every car owner prefers to choose the ideal equipment for their car. And if you are interested in reliable batteries for Solaris, then this article will help you understand many of the nuances.
In this review, we will try to consider in as much detail as possible the most suitable batteries for the Hyundai Solaris.
Many people know that there are many cars of this brand, and they all differ in characteristics, size and, of course, engine size, so for a certain type of car you need to choose a specific battery for Solaris.
We will tell you about the different types of batteries for Solaris. Here, any car owner will be able to choose the most suitable battery for Solaris, the dimensions of which are ideal for a certain type of car.
Dimensions and characteristics of the standard Hyundai Solaris battery:
- 232×173×225
- 60Ah
- starting current 550A
- reverse polarity
From the experience of most motorists, it is known that they will fit up to 238mm in length, up to 175mm in depth, no more.
Because Most stores offer Varta/Bosch batteries (which are essentially the same thing, since both are assembled at the Varta factory) of two models:
- Varta/Bosch BLUE 552 400 047 - capacity 52Ah, start. current 470A.
- Varta/Bosch SILVER 554 400 053 - capacity 54Ah, start. current 530A, dimensions for both 207x175x190.
Particularly incompetent sellers offer consumer goods from the Varta/Bosch 60Ah range with dimensions 242×175×225, of course they do not fit in length, either saw the platform, then there is a danger of the battery “moving off” from its regular place, or saw the battery shoulder on the left or on the right by 4-5 mm.
Market monitoring showed that two models are most suitable - MEDALIST and TUDOR:
- MEDALIST 75D23L - capacity 65Ah, start-up. current 580A, dimensions 232×175×225.
Also, there is a more powerful analogue:
- MEDALIST 80D23L - capacity 70Ah, start-up. current 590A, dimensions 232×175×225.
