neilrr010 Posted November 26, 2024 Share Posted November 26, 2024 I own a 2014 Sonata with a 2.0 engine. Request for h6 AGM battery. I have attempted to use many branded batteries with the same part number, however the positive terminal is incompatible owing to the fuse box linked to it. The 2013 model year requires a 124R battery, which is compatible with my vehicle. However, mine has ceased functioning after two months without any external reason. I had it refilled and evaluated, and it is functioning well. My web research indicates that this automobile is compatible only with an AGM battery, although I am uncertain whether they would fit. Any assistance or recommendations would be very appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD1too Posted November 26, 2024 Share Posted November 26, 2024 Indeed, it is necessary to use AGM batteries in vehicles specifically designed for AGM technology to ensure a satisfactory lifespan. Could you provide a more detailed description of the fitting issue, or provide an image? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilrr010 Posted November 26, 2024 Author Share Posted November 26, 2024 The battery fits appropriately on the battery tray. The issue is that the positive terminal is encased in a box that also contains the associated fuse. When attempting to connect the positive terminal to the positive battery post, it fails to fit due to the casing surrounding the positive terminal. Although removing the casing would allow a proper connection, it is not feasible to do so, as the casing also encases the fuse and is securely attached. I prefer not to modify any components. It formerly included a 124R. However, based on my research, it seems that it requires an AGM. All h6 AGM batteries have identical specifications. The catalogues may be incorrect on the required battery type, suggesting it may be a 124R, or the H6AGM may possess a unique design from the dealer. You may only purchase from them, which I refuse to do at dealer prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heralder Posted November 26, 2024 Share Posted November 26, 2024 The Hyundai chart indicates that the 2014 model with a 2.0T engine requires a standard flooded battery, specifically a 124R, if memory serves correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilrr010 Posted November 26, 2024 Author Share Posted November 26, 2024 I appreciate this knowledge. I am perplexed as to why the dealer information indicates this, whereas other applications (O'Reilly's, AutoZone, and even AAA) assert that it should have an AGM.

neilrr010 Posted November 26, 2024 Author Share Posted November 26, 2024 Is this a revised edition, as I had seen a similar one? However, it only displays the 2014 listing for the 2.4 model, not the 2.0, and includes an AGM battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heralder Posted November 26, 2024 Share Posted November 26, 2024 The 2014 model used a 124R battery; AGM batteries were not introduced until a few years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
