What kind of battery is installed on the VAZ 2110

Domestic VAZ-2110 cars are equipped with not very high-quality batteries, which quickly fail. As a result, at first there is a need for frequent recharging, the battery fails more and more often, especially in the cold season, and then requires urgent replacement. Choose good battery for VAZ 2110

necessary taking into account all technical characteristics. They should not differ much from the original battery, since otherwise it will be difficult to predict how long this model will last and what kind of care it will require.

Batteries and engines for VAZ 2110

From the very beginning of the production of the VAZ 2110 by AvtoVAZ, its equipment has undergone several stages of changes. There were versions with different engine options, the car was equipped with batteries with different parameters, and even a limited version was produced, which is quite rare these days. If the battery on a VAZ 2110 is dead

, and diagnostics indicate that it is out of order, you need to study the parameters of the engine and battery to select the most suitable model.

Engines differ in power, design features (number of valves, layout) and volume. If we consider all the engines that have been under the hood of this car model over the decades of its existence, we will get the following comparative table:

№	Name	Operating Parameters
№	Name	Volume	Number of cylinders	Power	Torque	Supply system	Overclocking 0-100 km/h, s	Maximum speed, km/h	Average fuel consumption, l/100 km
1	8-valve carburetor 1.5 liters (1996-2000)	1499 cm3	4	72hp/53kW	104 Nm	Carburetor	14	164	7,6
2	8-valve injector, 1.5 liters	1499 cm3	4	76hp/56kW	115 Nm	injection	14	167	7,2
3	16-valve injector, 1.5 liters	1499 cm3	4	93hp/68kW	128 Nm	injection	12,5	180	7,2
4	8-valve injector, 1.6 liters	1596 cm3	4	82hp/60kW	125 Nm	injection	13,5	170	7,5
5	16-valve injector, 1.6 liters	1596 cm3	4	89hp/65.5kW	131 Nm	injection	12	185	7,2
6	Limited edition with a 2.0 liter Opel engine. Its power was 150 horsepower, but the number of cars with this engine is very limited. Along with this version, a model of a rotary-piston engine design was developed, but for some reason both of these options were not widely used. The second modification is adapted for use in circuit racing and is capable of reaching speeds of up to 240 km/h.

The car, regardless of modification, was equipped with a factory battery with a capacity of 55 Amp*hour. This is the optimal value that corresponds to the parameters of the built-in generator.

This part is responsible for recharging the battery while the engine is running. When the car is working and moving, energy from the generator is directed to the battery, therefore, a simultaneous process of using the battery resource and replenishing it occurs.

Experienced users and auto mechanics recommend sticking to the characteristics of the original one when choosing a new battery, since the following problems may arise when chasing a larger capacity.

The battery on the VAZ 2110:2
will not be sufficiently recharged while the generator is running, since its power will not be enough. This will result in the need for regular recharging to avoid premature battery wear.
As the battery capacity increases, related parts, such as a diode bridge, will also be subject to increased load. Consequently, they will suddenly fail.

Thus, more is not always better, so it is worth not deviating from the manufacturer’s standard.

The best battery manufacturers

Experienced motorists have been using products from specific companies for quite a long time, which have shown only good results.
We bring to your attention several proven manufacturers whose batteries have excellent quality and reliability: All brands are produced in Europe, and the products have advanced technological solutions.

Advantages that can be found in the batteries of the above companies:

Use of advanced technological solutions in production.
Excellent starting power.
Minimum self-discharge rate.
Sufficient level of security for trouble-free operation.
The products are ideal for the climate of our country. This is especially true for frost resistance.
The batteries have proven themselves well in various operating conditions.

Possible reasons for replacing the battery

Despite the service life specified in the characteristics of the new battery, the actual operating time directly depends on the user’s activity and the vehicle’s operating mode. To conclude that you need to buy a new battery for the VAZ 2110

, you should study the behavior of the old one and the problems associated with its operation.

If the car stops starting reliably at low temperatures without a clear change in operating conditions, for example, a sharp drop in degrees to a critical level, it is worth checking the performance of the battery.
In case of rapid discharge, even with manual recharging from the network, battery failure is also likely. If it is poorly charged from the generator, you cannot absolutely talk about battery problems; the operation of the generator may be impaired. In this case, you should carry out diagnostics yourself by measuring the voltage readings while working on the terminals, or contact a service station.

If the battery on a VAZ 2110 is discharged

with enviable regularity, it means there is a problem, and only diagnostics can tell you more specifically

Starting current

An important parameter is the starting current. This characteristic refers to the amount of energy that the battery can supply at one time. From the factory, cars of the brand in question are equipped with a battery with a rating of 425 A. This figure is small; such a battery cannot have a good stable start in cold weather.

The optimal solution is to install a battery with a starting current of 450 A or more. This parameter does not affect charging or operation in any way. The only drawback is the relatively high cost. Separately, you need to dwell on the manufacturer. The optimal solution would be to purchase:

The first is resistant to self-discharge at low temperatures. It will be possible to start the engine even at -40 0 C. Its only disadvantage is its relatively high cost. Varta will be somewhat cheaper. The battery is also expensive, but slightly cheaper than the Multu. When choosing, you need to focus primarily on the equipment parameters.

Recommendations when choosing a battery

To ensure that after purchasing a new battery the car does not require even greater maintenance costs, you should follow some rules.

The first thing to do to properly replace this car part is to determine the optimal capacity that is suitable for the power of a particular engine. The fact is that we are dealing with various modifications of this VAZ model, in which engines with different characteristics can be installed.
The second thing is to decide on the location of the terminals. In the VAZ 2110 car, the layout is straight, and accordingly, the battery must be selected in the same way. When choosing the reverse one, you will have to turn the battery, and in this case it is not a fact that the installation will be successful.
Third, you should measure the parameters of the battery compartment: length, width and height so that the new device fits in the intended place.

If the car is used mainly at sub-zero temperatures, it is worth choosing a capacity slightly larger than that of the factory battery. The type of battery on the VAZ 2110 also matters (injector or carburetor, it doesn’t matter) - the manufacturer installs lead-acid batteries. They are maintenance-free, but have a long service life - about 50 complete charge-discharge cycles.

What else should you pay attention to?

An important factor in any car battery is the starting current. And the higher this value, the better and faster your car will start. This is especially important in winter, when the load on the battery increases.

Nowadays, many models of VAZ cars, including 2110, are installed off the assembly line with Akom batteries, the starting current of which is about 425 Amperes. Unfortunately, this figure is not very high and it is impossible to boast of a good start in winter frosts. Therefore, when replacing the factory battery, when this becomes necessary, I would advise choosing a battery with a large starting current value, at least 450 and above.

Popular battery models

“Ten” comes off the assembly line with a 6ST-55A battery, which is filled with liquid electrolyte and has a stated capacity of 55 Ampere-hour. The electrical system of the car is tailored specifically to this battery, the current of which reaches 255 A. Clearly answer the question, which batteries are better for the VAZ 2110

, it is impossible, since each motorist has his own needs and capabilities. However, it is possible to analyze the most popular models on the market based on their main characteristics.

Name	Characteristics
Name	Manufacturer	A country	Guarantee	Capacity	Polarity	Cold crank current (-18º)	Dimensions (LxWxH), mm	Current output type
6CT-55.1	AKOM	Russia	36 months< 100 Ah/12 months>100 Ah	55 Ah	straight	460 A(EN)	242x175x190	terminals
Autofan 60L	AKOM	Russia	36 months< 100 Ah/12 months>100 Ah	60 Ah	straight	470 A(EN)	242x175x190	terminals
6ST-60.1	Black Horse	Serbia	12 months	60 Ah	straight	510 A (EN)	242x175x190	terminals
Afa AF-H5R-60	A.F.A.	Czech	36 months< 100 Ah/12 months>100 Ah	60 Ah	straight	540 A (EN)	242x175x190	terminals

The second model is better in quality from the AKOM plant than the first. The service life of Black Horse has been increased to 5 years. When returning an old battery, we offer customers free installation of a new battery in their car.

Selecting a battery manufacturer

The most famous today are battery companies such as Varta, Bosch, Mutlu and our domestic Tyumen batteries. Of course, there are many other manufacturers, but I decided to mention these because I have come across some from personal experience.

Mutlu is a fairly serious manufacturer that makes excellent batteries for cars. This battery stood on the parent VAZ 2107 for 5 years without a single charge, after which it worked for another year with periodic recharging. The model was Silver Evolution with a starting current of 540 Amps.

In winter there have never been problems with starting in any frost down to -30 degrees. I would like to note that if more attention was paid to this battery, it is possible that the service life would have increased by another couple of years.

Varta is considered the world's best manufacturer of car batteries. But the cost of these batteries is quite high. I bought myself the simplest model, Black Dynamic, which has the following characteristics: 56 A*h and with a starting current of 480 Amperes.

This battery has been in use for two years now and there hasn't been a single problem. Excellent start in winter. It is a maintenance-free type and there is no need to add electrolyte or distilled water for the entire service life.

As for the factory Akom , which finally died after 3 years of use, it did not bring me much joy. Periodically he sat down at the most inopportune moment; in winter, he generally had to be brought into the house at -20 degrees below zero. As for the starting current power, in winter it barely cranked the engine. In general, there are only negative memories of him.

Marking features

For a standard battery installed from the factory on the VAZ 2110–2112 family of vehicles, the marking 6ST-55A is used.

It means that the battery has 6 cans (sections). This is a maintenance-free battery with a capacity of 55 Ah. Although the starting current is not encrypted here, it is only 255 A.

Although the power supply is considered maintenance free, the battery can actually be considered low maintenance. The top cover of the housing is provided with technological holes that are closed with special plugs. They need to be unscrewed to check the electrolyte level, its density, and, if necessary, add the missing amount of distilled water.

During charging, if the battery has covers, they must be removed or partially unscrewed. This will allow any accumulated gas to escape.

If you do not unscrew the plugs, there is a possibility that during recharging, excess gas will begin to break out, breaking the seal of the case, and can literally tear it apart. Initially, only microcracks form. But gradually the problem can get significantly worse.

Battery manufacturers use certain labeling standards. Therefore, designations like 6ST-55A can be used by different companies to display the characteristics of their products.

Capacity

The most important criterion when buying a new battery is its capacity. This indicator is measured in ampere-hours (Ah) and reflects the amount of electricity stored in the battery, which ensures starting the engine and stable operation of electrical appliances (radio, headlights, wipers). For passenger cars, batteries with a capacity of 50-90 Ah are usually suitable.

Find out the charging time of your battery

The maximum capacity is always indicated on the battery case. Before purchasing a new battery, you can focus on the performance of the old battery - they should be equal or slightly different from each other. It is also worth considering the generator rating - to obtain the optimal battery capacity, its value must be multiplied by 0.75.

Important! If the indicator in question is significantly lower than the required one, then in cold weather problems with ignition may occur. If you exceed the maximum value, this may lead to starter failure.

All new Lada cars have standard batteries with a nominal capacity of 55 Ah. However, this value may not be enough for trouble-free startup of the injector in cold weather, so it is better to adhere to the following recommendations:

For a VAZ 2107, the optimal choice would be a powerful battery with a capacity of 70 Ah.
Batteries with a capacity of 60-70 Ah are suitable for the VAZ 2110 and VAZ 2111.
For the VAZ 2114 it is better to purchase a capacitive battery of about 80 Ah.

By following these tips, your car will operate reliably even in frosty Russian winters.

Which good battery to choose for VAZ: top 10 rating

The following is a list of the most profitable solutions for installation on domestic cars.

10th place: BOSCH S4 005 Silver

– View in Yandex.Market Price from 5000 rub.

Oddly enough, the Bosch model occupies the last place in the top. The mid-budget modification has sufficient starting current and a capacity of 540A and 60 Ah, respectively. However, the good “on paper” characteristics in practical use are significantly inferior to analogues. The reserve capacity of the unit is inferior to its substitutes and is actually at the level of batteries in the lower price range. The next negative factor is complete uselessness in severe frosts. In the warm climate of the southern regions, starting problems do not arise. However, at -20-25 degrees Celsius, after the first cranking of the starter, a drop in power occurs, which is perceived extremely negatively by domestic cars. The inability to cope with deep discharge modes also stands out. Resuscitating the capacity is extremely problematic. The result is low demand among buyers. Advantages:

capacity and starting current;
availability of factory warranty.

drop in power after the first cycle of starting the internal combustion engine;
intolerance to severe frosts.
