Proton X70 [Battery Size and Battery Location]

Dear Readers,

Guess most of you guys have came across with Proton new model which is the Proton X70.

Although the car is New but some of the sneak peak in revealing the location of the Proton X70's Battery location of what Battery Size is currently used for the vehicle.

Proton X70 is a redesigned model based on the existing Geely Boyue which is already in the China Market for sometime. But Proton did make some changes and by changing some of the part such as the new grill design, amendment on the lower bodykit and the rear long batch which shows the Proton wording and the lower diffuser at the lower bumper that adds in the style to the whole new Proton X70.

Let me reveal the location of the battery. The Engine Bay for this new Proton X70 is fully covered to reduce the engine noise towards the cabin area which is a superb design and truly make an effect for the consumer to have a disturbance / noise coming from it. Besides that, the full cover up of the engine bay do looks more stylish and nicer, making it sleek and clean.

 As you can see, there's a clip open cover located at the lower right hand side, that's the location of where the battery is located. By simply using a gentle finger and unclip it, you will be able to remove the cover and see the battery located underneath.

The Battery size used in this existing vehicle is a Brand Varta Din55L, 60Ah battery with a Cold Cranking Amp (CCA) of 550 

In Summary, Proton has not been using Continental / European type of battery since the model Proton Satria Neo, Proton Gen 2, and Proton Persona (Before 2016) model which are using DIN55R type of battery due to design.
