"The car won't start, what's the matter?" Every time you encounter this problem, the mood of the owners is like a bolt from the blue. Especially in the cold morning, the car a fire "click" a sound did not respond, eager to throw the car directly to the repair line. In this case, most of the time the "culprit" is the car battery. Yes, the battery! This seemingly insignificant accessory is actually the key to the normal operation of the car.

You think, the car relies on it every day to provide power to the engine, the electrical appliances in the car, for a long time, if not properly maintained, the battery is easy to "strike", once broken, the money for a new battery can let you eat a big meal.

So the question is, how should the battery be raised in the end to avoid all this? Today, we're going to talk about that.

How to extend battery life?

Do you feel like there's nothing wrong with the car not running? Bad! Do not drive for a long time, do not start the battery, the power will slowly lose, just like you have not seen the mobile phone for a long time, put a few days on the shutdown. To extend battery life, remember to start your car regularly, even if it's just to idle it for a few minutes to recharge the battery. In addition, do not let the electrical appliances in the car continue to work after the fire is turned off.

If you use an air conditioner, stereo or car refrigerator, these appliances continue to consume electricity after the car turns off, and the battery has no external power supply to supplement the power, and it will be "squeezed dry" sooner or later. In this way, the battery life will naturally be greatly shortened.

In addition, the owner of short-distance travel should also pay special attention. You run three to five kilometers a day, the car has not had time to charge, the battery may first "can not stand". It is best to ensure that the vehicle has the opportunity to drive long distances several times a week, so that the battery can have sufficient time to charge and restore vitality.

Also, do you always start your car too often in too short a time? This habit is very unfriendly to batteries. Frequent startup can cause excessive discharge of the battery, which is prone to problems over time. Therefore, try to keep the start and stop balance to protect the battery.

How to determine the battery needs to be replaced?

Many owners like to judge whether the battery needs to be replaced by the "electric eye" of the battery. Battery status indicator (electric eye) is a direct, simple, environmentally friendly component to check the battery level. It is different from traditional testing instruments, no longer require you to buy expensive electronic testing equipment and cumbersome testing tools to detect your car battery power. Because of the simplicity and practicality of the product, it has been favored by major battery suppliers and auto parts manufacturers at home and abroad. The battery status indicator is mainly installed in two ways: plug and screw, which makes the installation more convenient and quick.

When the battery is fully charged and the density of the electrolytic liquid phase is the set value, the two balls float upward to the limit position, the color of the balls is refracted by the light, and the results observed from the top of the indicator show a red dot in the center and a green ring around it, indicating that the battery is in good technical condition.

What should I pay attention to when replacing the battery?

When replacing a battery, it is important to choose the right battery. There are a wide variety of batteries on the market, from ordinary lead-acid batteries to more advanced EFB or AGM batteries, and the price difference is not small. When choosing, you need to pay special attention to two parameters: the battery's AH (ampere-hours) and CCA (cold start current). These parameters should be consistent with or higher than the battery data of your original car to avoid buying wrong.

In addition, pay attention to the size when changing the battery to ensure that the new battery can fit the battery rack of your car. Otherwise, the battery won't fit, and that's a problem. It is best to replace the whole car in the case of constant power, so that the electrification equipment in the car will not lose Settings, otherwise, you may have to manually re-adjust the on-board equipment in the later period, which is very troublesome.

Have you ever paid attention to battery maintenance?

Having said that, the question is: Has your battery been maintained today? Many owners in the daily use of the car, often ignore the maintenance of the battery, until the car really does not start to regret it. But the battery maintenance is not complicated, as long as you spend a little thought, regular inspection, appropriate use, it can serve you for many years.

We all know that "prevention is better than cure", and the same goes for the car battery. You can't wait until the car doesn't start to care for the battery, can you? When it is fine, you treat it a little better, and change it when it is bad, it must be more than worth the loss.

So, from today on, give your car battery a little care, start the car regularly, avoid turning off the car after the internal electrical appliances, long distance travel to charge the battery. In this way, your car battery can always accompany you to go further.

What do you think? Isn't it time your car got its battery checked, too? Today, give it a "maintenance"!
