How long do car batteries last,How many years to change

  A battery is like a mobile phone battery to a car. It is often neglected in daily use, and it is too late to regret it when something goes wrong.


  How long do car batteries last?You should know that once a car battery has a problem, it will cause a series of problems: if the battery performance has a problem, it will unknowingly cause problems such as increased fuel consumption, difficulty in ignition, and unstable fuel injection pressure in daily use, even for a long time. It will cause damage to the vehicle at the mechanical level, leading to potential safety hazards in the vehicle.

  Therefore, the "health" of car batteries cannot be ignored. Today, the editor will tell you how to maintain the battery in normal times——


  How long is the battery life of a fuel truck


  Generally speaking, the battery of an ordinary fuel vehicle can last for 2-3 years, and the special battery used for vehicles with automatic start-stop function will last longer and can last for 4-6 years. However, in real life, different driving habits can lead to significant differences in battery life. Some people have very little maintenance, while others have to replace them frequently.


  From a scientific point of view, there are two indicators to measure battery life: cycle life and floating charge life. Cycle life refers to the number of times that the battery can be recharged; float life refers to the length of time that the battery can be used when the battery is fully charged while being charged by the engine while being discharged by the electrical appliances. This is like a mobile phone battery while charging. The service life in the case of the game.

  In actual use, the dfsk battery life often depends on the cycle life, and the cycle life is closely related to the depth of discharge each time. Therefore, in daily use, try to avoid excessive discharge of the battery and let it work in a floating charge state.


  Daily maintenance of car battery


  In daily use, try to avoid long-term use of electrical appliances without charging the battery for a long time, a large amount of fire in a short time, or long-term use of electrical appliances without charging. Specifically, you can try to avoid the following common mistakes.

  1. Avoid using high-power electrical equipment after flameout


  When we park and wait for people, we like to listen to music or the radio to pass the time. This does not have a big impact on the battery. Electrical appliances that really have a greater impact on the battery power consumption, such as car headlights, air conditioners, etc., if they are not turned off all night. , It will have a greater consumption of the battery, and even cause difficulty in starting the engine the next day.


  In addition, in daily use, everyone should also avoid connecting multiple external electrical appliances in the car at the same time.


  2. Do not spark frequently after startup failure

  When the car starts to fire, the battery will release a higher instantaneous current to drive the starter. At this time, the power consumption is larger than during normal driving. Frequent and continuous starting will have a great impact on the battery discharge.


  So when encountering difficulty in sparking, don't try frequently in a short time. In principle, the time for each ignition should not exceed 5 seconds, and the interval between two ignitions should not be less than 15 seconds. In addition, when you need to use electrical appliances for a long time, start the engine, and don't just use the battery to maintain the power supply.


  3. Avoid car not starting for a long time


  Batteries are naturally discharged, even if the car is stopped, the battery will continue to consume power. Generally speaking, parking for a day consumes more than one percent of the electricity, and if it is parked for a long time without starting, the battery will lose power and cannot be started.

  If you do not use the car for a long time, you can disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, which can prevent the battery from slowly discharging to loss of power. Or you can start the car once every one to two weeks and run it at idle speed for 10 to 20 minutes or drive the dongfeng AX7 car out for a stroll to charge the battery.


  During daily use, it is best for everyone to develop the habit of regular inspection and maintenance of the battery. In addition to checking the voltage of the battery, the appearance of the battery should also be frequently observed. If there is electrode corrosion or crystallization, it indicates that the battery is likely to have a leakage problem, and it should be checked and cleaned in time.

  Although cars are used as consumables, they can be used as they should, so there is no need to supply them completely. But taking good care of details in daily life can not only reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles, but also save money and worry when driving the car.


  Car batteries can be used for 8 years or more than one year, so there is no requirement for the battery to be replaced every year.


  But the new car battery, I know that if the manufacturer has a battery problem within one year, it will be replaced free of charge. If you exceed one year, you will get a discount. Generally, the car has a three-year or four-year warranty, so the discount for the first two years is okay, but the discount for the third and fourth years is not significant. Beyond the one-year warranty period, the battery will not be replaced for free, and will only be discounted according to the year.


  I have seen a car that changed the battery within a year, and I have seen a battery that has not been changed for 8 years. Therefore, it is impossible to determine how often the battery should be changed. Even if it is the same model, the time for changing the battery is also different. different.

  My own Corolla car, the battery has been used for more than 3 years, the start-stop battery, efb model, rated value q85, I found that Yaris actually installed s95 battery. More than one thousand 4s original q85 batteries! The new battery has a capacity of more than 800 cca, and now it has become 480 cca in more than three years. The battery tester recommends replacing the battery.


  More than three years have changed from more than 800 cca to more than 400 cca. When it reaches more than 200 cca, the battery must be replaced, otherwise it may not be able to start that day, unless you buy an emergency power supply or wire up. Otherwise, we can only rescue when the time comes. It is estimated that my battery will be used by 2022.


  I don’t even turn on the stop function. When I get in the car, I turn off the start and stop. I don’t know if I will start and stop when I get home. I am in a traffic jam. Toyota is too smart to start and stop. I started to stop before the car was hot. Up. I don’t know what the battery life is like when you start and stop?


  How long does your Corolla start-stop battery last? I estimate that my one will be replaced in 5 years at most. If I can survive this winter, there is no big problem. If you don't replace the original battery, the cost is about 700, not including working hours.

  I think the original battery is the one that has been used for a long time. In fact, there are many brands of batteries, and the ones that are easier to use. Generally use valta, camel, sail battery, etc.


  In fact, the battery needs to be well maintained. Do not turn on the headlights for a long time without starting the vehicle, or listen to music, or turn on the blower. These are all electrical equipment for cars that consume a lot of power, and they all consume batteries. , After a long time, the battery will lose power easily.


  If you do not drive for a long time, you should disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. You can also drive occasionally to let the vehicle generate electricity to charge the battery. So that the battery does not lose power. My car didn't drive much for a year, so the battery life was shortened. So the battery also needs maintenance.


  Parking for a long time or driving for a long time, excessive use of the battery will also shorten the life of the battery. I have met a car and ran 50,000 kilometers a year, but the battery’s storage capacity has dropped a lot, so excessive use and long-term non-use will cause damage To the life of the battery.


  However, under normal use of the battery, most models can be used for 4 or 5 years, so you don’t need to pay too much attention to the battery. Go to the one that sells the battery and change it. Generally, it is only a few hundred larger. If you start and stop the battery, the ordinary battery It will be cheaper. It depends on the capacity of the battery, but the original battery is definitely expensive.


  The battery replacement outside generally ranges from one to two years, depending on the battery manufacturer.
