What is the service life of the battery



1. Is it equipped with a start stop function? Batteries with a start stop function have high requirements for batteries during frequent starts. This type of battery is not only expensive, but also has a longer lifespan than ordinary batteries. The original car can also be used for about two years. If we turn off the start stop function after each startup, it will greatly extend the service life (in addition, many batteries that are not equipped with the start stop function during the second battery replacement will also have a significant impact on the battery service life).



2. Many drivers replace their secondary repair batteries in order to make it cheaper (some are online shopping). Small capacity batteries or some small brand batteries can also affect their service life. Currently, some brands in China that are more commonly loaded with cars include Valta (German cars), Tangqian (Japanese cars), Camel (used by many car models), and so on. It is recommended that everyone go to the repair shop to choose large brand batteries for loading, and try not to purchase them online (you get what you pay for).



3. There are many routes that have been modified after old cars, such as lighting, automatic window regulators, etc. These will also affect the consumption of the battery and affect its service life.



4. Drivers in the north need to note that many batteries are divided into southern and northern versions. In winter in the north, it is necessary to choose the northern version of the battery (low temperature starting causes a significant current consumption of the battery). The price of the southern version is relatively lower, and many repair shops generally do not tell drivers about this. It is recommended that northern drivers choose camel as their battery option.



5. Leaving the engine on for a few minutes before starting and stopping each time helps to charge the battery.



6. Many drivers turn on the lights, speakers, and other devices in the car after turning on the ignition, which consumes only the battery's own power, which can greatly affect the battery's lifespan.



7. Many new models now have a light delay function, also known as the home function (which means that the car lights automatically turn off after a certain period of time after the car doors are locked), which also has a certain impact on the battery life.



8. Some drivers forget to turn off some lights after getting off the car, such as driving lights, indoor lights, etc. The next day, after the lights depleted the battery, the car could not start. At this point, the battery needs to be recharged, but it also has a significant impact on the battery's lifespan.



9. Other electrical failures in cars, such as prolonged low generator output that undercharges the battery, can also lead to a low battery life.



10. During startup, the consumption of battery current is relatively high, so the startup time should not exceed 3-5 seconds each time. If the vehicle is not started at first, it is best to interval the second startup time by more than 60 seconds to allow the battery to recover.




The car battery converts chemical energy into electrical energy, with two main functions: one for starting, and the other for protecting electrical equipment when the generator generates too much electricity during driving. So after landing, the entire vehicle's electrical equipment is powered by a generator, and the battery can also be charged.




Finally, I would like to inform everyone that current car batteries are maintenance free and do not require our drivers to add water or charge them. So the service life of the battery mainly depends on the driver's usage method. If the method is obtained, batteries with a start stop function can generally be used for 3-5 years, while those without a start stop function can be used for more than 5 years. The oldest battery I have seen is an old Mondeo, which took 12 years to replace.
