The battery model consists of the following three parts: 1. Number of series-connected single cells, indicated by Arabic numerals: Generally, a 12V battery has six single cells, represented by the number "6"; a 6V battery has three single cells, represented by the number "3". 2. Battery type and characteristics: Usually, the first letter indicates the battery's purpose, for example: Q for automotive starting batteries, M for motorcycle batteries, JC for marine batteries, HK for aviation batteries, D for electric vehicle batteries, F for valve-regulated batteries. The second letter indicates the battery's characteristics, for example: A- indicates dry-charged, H- indicates wet-charged, W- indicates maintenance-free, S- indicates low-maintenance, M indicates fully sealed, J- indicates gel electrolyte, etc. 3. Battery's rated capacity: The unit is A-h (Ampere-hour), which is generally not labeled. The capacity of the battery is mainly determined by this number. Some batteries may have an additional letter after the rated capacity to indicate special performance, for example: G- indicates high starting power, S- indicates plastic casing, D- indicates good low-temperature starting performance, HD indicates high vibration resistance, DF indicates low-temperature reverse installation, etc.
As an experienced car enthusiast, I've seen plenty of numerical codes like 261188, which usually indicate specific faults in certain imported models, such as electronic stability control system failure or abnormal sensor signals. If not properly addressed, the vehicle may shake severely or even lose control while driving. My advice is not to tinker with it yourself—take it to an authorized dealership or a professional repair shop immediately to connect it to a diagnostic tool and identify the exact cause. They can help decode whether it's an electrical circuit issue or a hardware problem, saving you from unnecessary repair costs. Always pay attention to dashboard warning lights. If you encounter such a code, don't rush to drive—first, stop the car, turn off the engine for a few minutes, and then restart it. If the code disappears, it might be a false alarm. Remember, safety comes first—don't ignore small issues, or they could turn into major disasters.
