Batteries 55D23L / R

The 55D23L / R battery has recently become widespread in Russia and the CIS countries, the main reason for its popularity is the ideal ratio between price and quality of the product. The battery is represented by a wide range of different manufacturers, along with well-known global brands such as the FB Super Nova from the Furukawa Battery company located in Japan.

What is 55D23L battery

The 55D23L / R battery is designed for use in cars with an average amount of electronics. Due to the high inrush current, it is recommended to operate in regions where there are low temperatures. This battery is not suitable for SUVs, vans or trucks.

The plates are made of lead-calcium alloy, so most battery manufacturers are completely maintenance-free. You can find specimens with the MF marking, it says that the battery is low-maintenance. In this case, it will sometimes be necessary to add distilled water. Therefore, the battery practically does not need to control the level of electrolyte in the capacity of the device. Regardless of the type of enclosure, they all have low self-discharge and minimal leakage current.

The presence of additives in the material of the active plate of the battery significantly increases battery life at low air temperatures, and also increases its strength and reliability. Thus, the 55D23L / R battery is capable of operating from 5 to 7 years, subject to all technological operating rules.

55D23L and 55D23R battery decryption

Figure 55 is a relative measure of capacitance to cold scroll current. After calculating the formula, 55 is obtained, and so the value of the starting current and capacitance may differ slightly from different manufacturers.

The letter D in the battery designation form factor, that is, the size of the side surface of the battery and indicates that the height of the battery is 225 mm and the width is 170 mm.

The value of the second digit - 23 implies the length of the battery - 230 mm. The letters in L and R indicate the polarity, namely where the negative terminal is located. L is on the left, and R has a terminal on the right.

General characteristics 55D23L / R

For batteries marked 55D23L / R, the main specifications may vary slightly. This is due to the fact that each manufacturer has its own technologies, its own additives and methods for cleaning lead. As a result, the type of case, starting current and capacity will vary, but some characteristics for all batteries will be unchanged.

• Capacity - 55-60 A / h;
• Starting current - from 360 to 560 A;
• Width - 170-173 mm;
• Height - 220-225 mm;
• It is long - 220-232 mm;
• Voltage - 12 V;
• Mass - about 13-15.5 kg;
• MF - Low maintenance;
• CMF and SMF - Unattended;
• Terminals - Narrow type ASIA, minus 13.0 mm, plus - 14.7 mm.

All batteries are only suitable for Asian cars. The sizes may vary slightly, as a rule this is not critical, but just in case, it is recommended to measure the old battery and find out how much it was previously free of charge, if at all in grinding, then you need to choose no more than your own.

Analogs from various manufacturers

Analogs of Japanese models 55D23L / R from famous manufacturers.

The analogs of this battery have powerful operational parameters and have proven themselves to be durable in operation, resistant to self-discharge. Provide an increased level of reliability and high performance. Fully compliant with Japanese JIS standard. The battery range is sold in more than 40 countries.
