## Frequently asked questions

### What battery fits the Great Wall Hover M4 1.5?

The Great Wall Hover M4 1.5 requires a battery with the correct capacity (Ah) and Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) for this engine. Compatible batteries offer 45 Ah, 330 A (CCA), 12 V, case B24R, conventional flooded technology. Browse the compatible battery list below.

### Does the Great Wall Hover M4 1.5 need an AGM or EFB battery?

If your Great Wall Hover M4 1.5 has start-stop, regenerative braking or many electrical accessories, you will need an AGM or EFB battery. Check your vehicle's technical specifications.

### What type of battery does my car need?

You need the make, model and engine. If your car has Start-Stop (the engine switches off at traffic lights), it needs an EFB or an AGM battery, depending on what it came with: if it has an AGM, fit another AGM; if it has an EFB, another EFB or an AGM. On cars with battery management (BMW, Mercedes, VAG group…), moving from EFB to AGM requires coding the new battery. Without Start-Stop, a conventional battery is fine, or an EFB or AGM if you want a longer life.

### What is the difference between AGM, EFB and standard batteries?

A conventional (lead-acid) battery is for cars without Start-Stop. An EFB is a reinforced conventional battery for basic Start-Stop. An AGM offers the highest performance and is fitted as standard on cars with advanced Start-Stop, regenerative braking or high electrical demand. Replacement rule: an AGM only with another AGM; an EFB with another EFB or an AGM; a conventional battery with any of the three. Never move down in technology.

## Guides

### How to change the battery of a Great Wall Hover M4 1.5

Generic guide to safely replace the battery of a Great Wall Hover M4 1.5. Estimated time: 15-30 minutes. Typical tools: socket or open-end wrenches (usually 10-13 mm), sometimes Allen or Torx keys depending on the model. This vehicle has no Start-Stop. According to the manufacturer, it does not need to be registered after the change.

1. **Prepare the vehicle** — Park on a flat surface, switch off the engine, remove the key (or disarm keyless systems) and make sure all lights and electrical accessories are off.
2. **Locate the battery** — Open the hood and find the battery. It is usually in the engine bay, but on many modern cars it may be in the trunk, under the passenger seat or under a floor cover. Check the manual if you cannot find it.
3. **Identify terminals and hold-down** — Find the positive terminal (marked «+», red cable, usually with a cover) and the negative (marked «−», black cable). Inspect how the battery is secured: the hold-down can be a lower clamp with a bolt, a threaded rod, a top bracket or a metal frame. Depending on the model you will need 10-13 mm sockets, open-end wrenches, Allen keys or Torx keys.
4. **Disconnect the negative terminal first** — Using the right tool, loosen the negative terminal nut until you can lift the clamp off the post. Move the cable aside and secure it so it cannot touch the battery while you work. This order prevents short circuits.
5. **Disconnect the positive terminal** — Remove the protective cover and loosen the positive clamp the same way. Move the cable aside, keeping it away from any metal part of the vehicle.
6. **Remove the hold-down and lift the battery out** — Undo the bolts, clamps or rods securing the battery. Lift it straight up, keeping it vertical at all times. Batteries are heavy and contain acid: wear gloves and, if possible, use a proper carrying strap.
7. **Install the new battery** — Clean the tray and terminals with a brush if you see corrosion. Place the new battery in the same orientation (positive and negative on the same side as the old one). Fit the hold-down and tighten firmly, without overtightening.
8. **Connect terminals in the correct order** — Connect the positive terminal first and tighten the clamp. Then the negative. This order prevents sparks and shorts. Apply anti-corrosion grease on the posts if you have some. Replace the positive terminal cover.
9. **Verify and, if required, register the battery** — Start the vehicle and check that everything works. On cars with a battery management system (BMS) it is strongly advised to register the new battery with an OBD scanner; otherwise the alternator may not charge it correctly. Re-initialise basic settings (clock, radio, windows) if the vehicle prompts you to.

### How to jump-start a Great Wall Hover M4 1.5 with cables

Step-by-step guide to jump-starting the Great Wall Hover M4 1.5 using a donor car when the battery is flat. Estimated time: 10-15 minutes. Required: a set of insulated jumper cables with adequate gauge (at least 16 mm²) and a donor vehicle with a charged battery of the same or similar voltage.

1. **Prepare both cars** — Pull the donor car close to your Great Wall Hover M4 but make sure they don't touch. Switch both engines off, apply handbrakes, remove keys, and turn off lights, radio, HVAC and all electrical accessories. No one should be smoking nearby.
2. **Inspect the flat battery** — If the battery has cracks, bulges, acid leaks or is frozen (after a hard freeze), DO NOT jump-start it — it could explode. Call a professional or replace it outright.
3. **Connect the red (positive) clamp** — One end of the red clamp to the positive terminal (+) of the flat battery in the Great Wall Hover M4. The other end to the positive (+) of the donor battery. Make sure the clamps don't touch any other metal part.
4. **Connect the black (negative) clamp carefully** — One end to the negative terminal (−) of the donor battery. The OTHER end NOT to the Great Wall Hover M4's negative: connect it to a bare metal part of the engine (a cylinder-head bolt, the alternator bracket, the engine block). This final step avoids sparks near the battery, which can release hydrogen and explode.
5. **Start the donor then the Great Wall Hover M4** — Start the donor car and let it idle for 2-3 minutes. Then try to start the Great Wall Hover M4. If it doesn't fire, wait 10 seconds and retry. Never hold the starter for more than 5 seconds at a time — it overheats.
6. **Disconnect in reverse order and charge** — With the Great Wall Hover M4 running, first remove the black clamp from the Great Wall Hover M4's engine, then from the donor negative. Then the red clamp from the donor positive and finally from the Great Wall Hover M4 positive. Keep the Great Wall Hover M4 running for at least 15-20 minutes (ideally half an hour on the road) so the alternator can recharge the battery.

### Battery care and maintenance for the Great Wall Hover M4 1.5

Six simple routines that extend the life of the Great Wall Hover M4 1.5's battery from 3 to 5+ years. Doable in 15 minutes with a basic multimeter and a brush.

1. **Check the voltage every 6 months** — With a multimeter on DC voltage and the Great Wall Hover M4 at rest (engine off for at least 2 hours), the terminals should read 12.6-12.8 V. Below 12.4 V it is partially discharged and needs charging or replacement. Engine running, a healthy reading is 13.8-14.7 V (alternator charging).
2. **Clean the terminals if sulphated** — If you see white-greenish powder on the terminals, first disconnect negative, then positive (always in that order). Brush the terminals with a wire brush and neutralise the acid with a mix of 1 tablespoon of baking soda in a glass of water. Dry well and apply anti-corrosion grease or petroleum jelly before reconnecting (positive first, negative second).
3. **Verify the hold-down** — A loose battery vibrates with every bump and can lose up to half its service life. Check every 6 months that the clamp, rod or bracket is tight. Don't overtighten — plastic cases can crack — but keep it firm.
4. **Avoid deep discharges** — A deep discharge (at rest below 12.0 V, or under load below 10.5 V) can cut battery life by up to 50%. Don't leave lights, radio, HVAC or USB chargers on with the engine off. If the Great Wall Hover M4 will sit unused for more than 2 weeks, connect an intelligent maintenance charger.
5. **Verify the alternator** — A faulty alternator kills healthy batteries. With the engine running and the multimeter on the terminals, voltage should be 13.8-14.7 V. Above 14.8 V overcharges (boils the electrolyte); below 13.5 V undercharges. In either case, have the alternator diagnosed at a workshop.
6. **Maintenance charger for long parking** — If the Great Wall Hover M4 sits parked for more than 2 weeks, connect an intelligent maintenance charger that supplies just enough current to compensate for parasitic drain (alarm, ECU, clock…). A smart 2-5 A charger costs 30-60 € / $40-80 and pays for itself by saving one battery.

### How to identify the battery polarity of the Great Wall Hover M4 1.5

Knowing your battery polarity (positive on the right or on the left) is the most important step before buying a replacement: connecting it the wrong way can damage the electronics. Estimated time: 2 minutes. Tools: eyes only — no tools required.

1. **Locate the battery** — Open the bonnet of the Great Wall Hover M4 and find the battery. It is usually a rectangular block with two metal terminals (large screw heads) on top — one red or "+" and one black or "−".
2. **Identify the positive terminal** — The positive terminal (+) typically has a red cap, red sticker or cover, a raised "+" symbol on the casing, and/or a slightly larger diameter (19 mm vs 17 mm of the negative, in standard European batteries).
3. **Face the battery** — Look at the battery from the label side with the terminals near you — the edge with the terminals should face you, not the back.
4. **Determine polarity** — If the positive pole is on the RIGHT → choose a battery marked as "positive right". If it is on the LEFT → choose one marked as "positive left". (If the label of your current or new battery shows codes like 0, 1, 3 or 4: 0 and 4 are positive right; 1 and 3, positive left — 3 and 4 correspond to batteries with terminals on the narrow side.)
5. **Note the reference** — The label on top shows the reference (e.g. "A9", "TK960", "EA900"). Search for the exact model with that reference and the identified polarity — never change polarity without consulting the vehicle manufacturer.
