Camel is a Chinese battery manufacturer, founded in 1980 and based in Xiangyang, that supplies many car makers in China as well as the replacement market. It builds maintenance-free, EFB and AGM batteries. In Dubai it suits owners of Chinese-brand cars and drivers who want an entry-tier battery from a large, established factory.

About Camel batteries

A Chinese maker for Chinese-built cars

Camel Group was founded in 1980 in Hubei province and is listed on the Shanghai stock exchange. It is a big name in the Chinese battery industry, with several manufacturing bases and more than 200 car maker customers by its own count, Dongfeng being among the first. Beyond lead-acid starter batteries it also makes low-voltage lithium batteries. Outside China the name is far less known, which is the main reason Dubai drivers hesitate over it.

Chinese-brand cars are now a common sight in JBR basements, and many of them left the factory with a Chinese-made battery. Replacing it with a Camel of the same type keeps things as the maker intended. Newer models with start-stop need the AGM or EFB version. For an older runabout that just needs to start every morning, the maintenance-free line does the job at the entry tier. Do not expect it to outlast the climate, because heat limits every conventional battery here.

Camel ranges we fit

  • Camel Maintenance-Free

    Calcium

    Sealed starter batteries for conventional cars without start-stop.

  • Camel EFB Start-Stop

    EFB

    For cars with basic start-stop that were built with an EFB battery.

  • Camel AGM Start-Stop

    AGM

    For start-stop cars built with AGM, where frequent restarts need fast recharging.

What Camel does well

  • Scale and track record

    Camel has made batteries since 1980 and supplies car production lines in China. It is a large, established manufacturer, not an unknown label on an anonymous product.

  • Match for Chinese cars

    MG, Geely, Jetour, Changan and similar cars are engineered around batteries from Chinese suppliers. A Camel of the same type and size is a like-for-like replacement.

  • Start-stop options

    Camel builds both AGM and EFB start-stop batteries, so newer Chinese-brand models with start-stop are covered as well as older conventional ones.

A good fit for

  • Chinese-brand cars
  • Entry-tier replacement
  • Older runabouts
  • Cars being sold soon

Worth knowing before you choose

Camel sits in the entry tier and has a shorter record in Gulf heat than the Korean, Indian and German brands. If you plan to keep the car for years and drive it hard, a mid-tier battery is the safer pick.

    Car was dead on P2 after three weeks away. Sent the tower and bay number on WhatsApp and the technician was at the car in about 25 minutes. He tested it first and showed me the printout before changing anything.

    The dealership quoted me three days. These guys fitted an AGM battery in my building's basement the same evening and registered it to the car. Start-stop works again.

    Honest. I was sure I needed a new battery. He jump started it, checked the alternator and told me the battery still had life in it, just drive it more. Didn't try to sell me anything.

    Friday night on The Walk so it took closer to 40 minutes than 30, but they called to say so. Battery is in the boot on mine and he knew exactly where to go. Paid with Tabby.

    Clear about the options. Three brands that fit my car, what each one cost and how long the warranty was, all on WhatsApp before he set off. No surprises when he arrived.

    Second time I've used them, different car. Same result: on time, clean job, terminals cleaned without me asking. I've saved the number.

    Security at my cluster can be difficult with outside contractors. They told me exactly what to say to the gate and it went smoothly. Battery changed in twenty minutes.

Camel batteries: common questions

Is Camel the battery my MG or Jetour came with?

Possibly. Chinese car makers buy from several domestic battery suppliers and Camel is a major one. Read the label on the original battery to see. If it is a Camel, replacing it with the same type is straightforward. If not, we match the size and technology.

Is a Chinese battery good enough for Dubai summers?

A properly made one is. Heat shortens the life of every lead-acid battery, whatever the origin, and Camel builds to the same basic chemistry as the others. Where it differs is tier: it is an entry-tier choice. For heavy use we would steer you to a mid-tier brand.

Can you fit a Camel as the 12-volt battery in my hybrid or electric car?

It depends on the car. Some hybrids and EVs use a small conventional 12-volt battery that can be replaced like any other. Others use a lithium unit that is not interchangeable. Send us the make, model and year and we will check before a technician sets out.

Car not starting right now?

Message us the make, model and where it's parked. You'll have a price and an arrival time in a few minutes.
