The best batteries for VAZ 2114, 2115
Reliable and unpretentious domestically produced cars, the VAZ 2114 and its analogue, the VAZ 2115 sedan, are factory equipped with a battery with a capacity of 55 Ah. The on-board network is designed specifically for these parameters. At the same time, when buying a new battery, the owner can safely choose models with 60-62 Ah, the advantage of which will become obvious in winter frosts. In addition, the batteries must have straight polarity (the “+” terminal is on the left) and the appropriate dimensions to easily fit on the battery tray under the hood. The best batteries with the specified parameters are presented in this category.
Standard battery for VAZ cars
All VAZ cars of the families discussed above were equipped with an original lead-acid battery. AvtoVAZ chooses batteries with straight polarity for its model range - this is one of the distinctive features of the domestic automobile industry.
In addition, the size of the battery case for almost all models, be it VAZ 2114, 2115 or 21213, is standard (LxWxH): 242x175x190 mm. And one more constant value for all current sources intended for passenger cars, voltage 12 Volts.
This is where the common features of batteries for VAZ models end. Cars of different generations differ in the size of their capacity and the value of the starting current.
So, for the classic Zhiguli VAZ 2106 and 2107 with a carburetor engine, the battery has:
- with a volume of up to 1.8 liters, the battery capacity is 55 A/h;
- larger volume - from 62 to 66 A/h.
For classic injection, a capacity of 55 Ampere/hour is sufficient.
The starting current must be at least 255 Amperes.
For the VAZ 2109 and 21099 models, as well as for the VAZ 110 family, the battery parameters (capacity and starting current) are similar to classic models equipped with an injection engine.
The Samara 2 model range was equipped with maintenance-free 6ST-55A batteries, the starting current of which was only 255 Amperes.
But the domestically produced SUV Niva, both two- and four-door versions, was equipped with a battery with a polarity of 68 Ampere/hour and a starting current of 570 Ampere.
The best batteries for VAZ 2110
To understand which battery is best suited to the on-board network of the VAZ 2110, the owner needs to take into account the influence of the following factors: the type of starter, the actual power of the generator, the nature of the upcoming operation and the presence of additional electrical equipment on board the car. The factory equipment includes a battery with a capacity of 55 Ah and a cold starting current of 255 Amperes. For more confident operation, you can take a battery with a slightly larger capacity (5 - 7 A*h), and the starter current can reach 500-550 A.
Straight battery polarity
Direct (sometimes marked as “1”), this is a purely domestic development. It’s easy and simple to identify - take the battery, turn it towards you (facing it) so that the current leads are at the bottom (the label is in front of your eyes). If the positive terminal is on the left and the negative terminal on the right, this is straight polarity. Here's the diagram.
Such batteries are found on many domestic cars, for example on our VAZs, in particular on the Priora.
The best batteries for Lada Kalina
The manufacturer installs lead batteries with a capacity of 55 Ah on the Lada Kalina car. At the same time, the discharge current is only 255A (at -18°C). If replacement is necessary, you should focus on these indicators when choosing a battery. The new battery must meet standard dimensions and have straight polarity. The capacity may be slightly larger, but not significantly (a battery with parameters of 70-75 Ah will not have enough generator power to fully charge). The starting current should not be lower than specified (if it is higher, it will be easier to start in winter). You can find out which battery models are best suited for the Lada Kalina in the category below.
Which battery to choose for Lada Granta, Kalina, Priora or Lada 4×4
AvtoVAZ equips its Lada Granta, Lada Kalina, Lada Priora and Lada 4x4 cars with the same batteries, which, as a rule, require replacement after the first winter. Simple tips in this article will help you determine which battery is best to choose to replace the standard battery.
On cars Lada Granta, Lada Kalina, Lada Priora and Lada 4x4, in 99% of cases, a battery (6CT55A) called AKOM “Standard” with a capacity of 55 Ah and a starting current of 425 Amperes is installed from the factory. When choosing a new battery, these values should not be lower. You should not focus only on ampere hours, since products from different manufacturers with the same capacity can differ quite significantly in other parameters.
When going to the store, the procedure for choosing a new battery should be something like this:
- The polarity and size must match the old battery.
- Choose a brand (see rating below).
- A unit of measurement of charge (in the old fashioned way called “capacity”). The amount of electricity that a battery is capable of delivering during a long-term discharge mode. We choose, as AvtoVAZ recommends (55 A*h), it is allowed to choose a capacity slightly higher than the rated capacity. The saying “a battery with a larger capacity than the standard one will not be charged” is not true.
- The starting current must be at least 425 A. This parameter is an indirect indicator of the quality of the car battery: the higher it is, the lower its internal resistance! In other words, the higher this parameter, the greater the chances of starting the engine in winter.
What is the polarity of the battery on Priora
Battery polarity is straight and reversed
We've already talked about what happens if the battery connectors get tangled up. But this may not be purposeful, but, say, due to inexperience. The fact is that Russian cars have the same battery polarity, but for many foreign cars it’s the other way around (I won’t even say). Car newbies don't know what polarity is, and I'm keeping quiet about how different they are. Now a detailed article that answers all your questions.
First a little definition.
Polarity is the arrangement of the outer current-carrying (conductive) parts on the front or top cover of the battery compartment. The most common plans are the so-called flat and reverse, but it is fair to say that there are also very exotic locations of current exits, but usually they have not gained popularity in our country or in foreign countries.
In other words, in some cases the location of the terminals is positive on the right, and in others it is on the left. In particular, this is the main difference.
Straight battery polarity
Gladkaya (sometimes called “1”) is a purely Russian development. Finding the battery is simple and easy; turn it (face) so that the current leads are at the bottom (sticker in front of your eyes). If the positive terminal is on the left and the negative terminal on the right, even the polarity is correct. Here's the diagram.
Such batteries are found on many Russian cars, such as our VAZ, namely Priorat.
Which battery is suitable for Priora.
I received an inverted battery (euro), tried to install a Priora
The battery is dead on the LADA PRIOR.
Suddenly he was drained of battery
he
shocked , but the new charger helped me.
Reverse battery polarity
Indicated on the back as "0", European development. It differs from the direct one in that it connects the battery “banks”. Determine - Rotate the "front" terminal of the battery downwards, marking in front of your eyes. If the minus terminal is on the left and the plus is on the right, the polarity is reversed. Let's look at the diagram.
Such batteries are found in many European cars, with the exception of, but rarely.
What is the difference between batteries
Minimal differences other than the pole. I would like to point out that the external battery is actually similar in other words to the body, number of cells, current and even the label. And it is not difficult to confuse the battery; in other words, you can get it if the current wires (terminals) are located incorrectly. Even the most experienced driver can be misled if he makes a spontaneous choice. So if you don't know it, ask the seller to choose the one that suits your car, usually they have collections describing the models. It's best to be this way!
Reverse battery polarity
Reverse - marked as “0”, European development. It differs from the direct one by connecting the battery “cans”. Determine - turn the battery “face”, the current terminals are at the bottom, the label is in front of your eyes. If the negative terminal is on the left and the positive terminal on the right, this is reverse polarity. Let's look at the diagram.
Such batteries are found on many European cars, there are exceptions, but rarely.
How to buy the right battery
When buying a battery in a store or at a car market, the car owner needs to select it according to the main parameters:
If the battery is too large, it will not be possible to fix it on the battery platform, and you need to be aware that the plates of an unsecured battery will quickly fall off due to vibration. The polarity of the new battery must correspond to the type of car, and if the driver is not at all versed in cars, he must at least remember how the terminals of the old battery are located, or sketch, so as not to forget, the location of the terminal pins. It is also important to choose the same polarity as it was, so as not to get confused - if the battery is connected incorrectly, a short circuit occurs with unpleasant consequences for the car owner.
You should not buy a battery with a reduced capacity; for a standard passenger car without air conditioning and other additional electrical equipment, the battery must have a capacity of at least 55 Ampere-hours. If there are many consumers in the electrical circuit, you can purchase a 60 Ah battery.
When purchasing a new battery, you should try to purchase a battery with the maximum starting current. There will be no harm to the engine from such a battery, but the starter will be able to crank the engine in frosty weather without problems. It would also be a good idea to take a voltmeter (multimeter) with you and check the voltage at the battery terminals - for a normally charged battery it should be about 12.5 Volts.
Which battery is better for Priora
| The standard battery on the Priora has a capacity of 55Ah. Sooner or later, the battery will have to be replaced with a new one, and its service life will depend not only on the capacity, but also on the manufacturer. Let's find out which battery to put in the Priora.. |
About battery types . There are three types of batteries: lead-acid, based on AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology and gel. What kind of battery does the Priora have? The most widely used are lead-acid batteries, where the electrolyte is a mixture of distilled water and sulfuric acid; this is exactly the battery installed on the VAZ 2170.

The best batteries
according to the magazine "Behind the Wheel":
Sooner or later, the owner of a Priora has to face the need to choose a new battery for his car. The reasons for this may be different, for example, the battery has simply exhausted its resource or has failed. If you know that the battery is about to die, you should not delay buying a new one, since the battery may fail at the most inconvenient moment. It is best to replace the battery in the fall. In this case, you will meet the winter, as they say, fully armed - with a brand new battery.
