At FQS Battery, we explain the main characteristics of batteries for Asian cars.

Special Sizes

Many Asian cars use their own standard, called JIS, which makes the batteries slightly more compact and sometimes lower than those commonly found in Europe. This means that, although two batteries may look the same at first glance, the European one may not fit well in a Japanese or Korean car.

Thinner terminals and reversed polarity

Another detail is that in many models the terminals are thinner (they are known as fine terminals).

Furthermore, in many cases, the polarity is reversed: the positive terminal is on the right instead of the left.

If the battery is not installed correctly, the cables may not reach... or worse, an electrical failure could occur.
