Trunk Battery

[LanderCT7]

I went to auto parts store to replace small battery in trunk, but they don’t sell them. Do I need to get it from the dealer?

Thanks

Check Tanya batteries or similar online retailer who do replacements. I put the Optima yellow top into mine and while a lower capacity has been fine with no issues.

Thanks. I’m in US. What’s part number or specs? Amazon may have it.

I went to a specialised battery supplier (Battery World) here in Oz.

They had no trouble matching the specification of the existing battery.

I think you'd have similar chains in the USA that would have a larger range than an auto-parts store.

The Tanya battery site lists the details of the batteries, you should be able to match them online in the US, given Optima are a US outfit?

As Andy says, a good battery supplier would be able to find a suitable match.

Hi,
The reference for My late 2018 (2019 Model) is YUASA HJ-S46B24L(S)

If you do a search for that you'll find suppliers in your country.

I had a problem with the Optima Yellow top where it was too wide at the bottom to fit into the compartment.

In Europe I paid 207€ for the battery.

Good Luck

That's odd, fit my 2019 no problem, build variances maybe.

Is this the right one?

The OEM battery in mine was S46B24L(S)

Beware that the +/- terminals are reversed and IIRC the posts are T1 sized.

The battery in your pic looks to have +ve to the left which is the wrong way round and the terminals may be too narrow (tho that may be adaptable),

 

[MrPastry]

S46B24L(S)
Standard battery fitted was the Yuasa HJ-S46B24L(S)
Terminal posts=T1 (Standard terminal post)
Cell layout = +ve terminal on right
Positive post = 19.5mm diameter.
Negative post = 17.9mm diameter.


S46B24R
The Yuasa HJ-S46B24R is a different fitment & not suitable.
Terminal posts=T3 (Small Japanese terminal post)
Cell layout = +ve terminal on left.
Positive post = 14.7mm diameter.
Negative post = 13.1mm diameter.

Check out AGM battery size 51R. Dimensions and terminal layout fit, like this one ($240):

I don't think you can replace it with a regular (flooded) lead acid battery, the charging voltage is different.

Try this " Left Negative", working like a charm, installed 2 years ago., 30k miles so far. They have more expensive one if you like.

Like you I have replaced mine wirh a Lithium battery and has been working great for at least 2 years now.

Only comment I would make is I see the above batteries are only 20Ah vs the original that is 40-59Ah. Isn’t generally an issue for normal day to day running however if someone has a couple of accessories or sits for a while with accessories on etc then could run down a lot quicker and get in a position where the vehicle won’t operate. Just my 2c.

I got a 2022 US model from a dealer a few weeks ago. The battery in my trunk is the one in the link below. Weirdly, the website says it does not fit the 2022 Outlander PHEV. But it is the one installed.

I'm guessing the dealership replaced the original battery with this one at some point.

A standard lead-acid battery should last about 4 years. Sometimes a year or two longer. I find for things like that, when it's a bit of a new tech vehicle, that for the extra 100 to 200 bucks every 4-5 years, it's better just to get it from the dealer.

Although at 20ah but its cold start cranking power is 720CCA which are significantly higher than most AGM's 500CCA. The OEM Yuasa is even lower at 325CCA. For now it is starting the PHEV happily for 2 years & 30k miles. So unless you are using the car radio at idle for a long period of time which we never do that, it should be ok. I will replace it with a higher ah in 2 more years which will cost probably about $400, twice the price. But Lithium batteries will get cheaper while AGM batteries will get more expensive. So let's see!

I may get this one next time about $360 with 40 ah, it looks nice too with a whopping 850CCA cranking power (2.5 times the YUASA's AGM!) Which one had you used?
