Can the Vios Battery Be Turned Off?
1 Answers
The Vios battery can be turned off, but it is not necessary to do so. The designed lifespan of the battery is 27 months. Generally, family cars are more economical, and new car batteries often last 3-4 years. However, after the first replacement, it is usually necessary to replace the battery again in about 2 years. The steps to test the condition of the battery are as follows: 1. Inspect the battery's exterior: Check if the battery casing is bulging, leaking, has broken separators, or if the battery terminals are corroded. If any of these signs are present, it indicates that the battery is dead. 2. Measure the battery voltage: After charging for two hours, measure the voltage of each individual battery cell every 20 minutes. If the voltage is below 13, it indicates a problem with the battery. During discharge, measure the voltage every 10 minutes in three intervals. If the discharge time is faster than other batteries and the voltage drops below 10V, the battery has an issue. 3. Check if the battery is "dehydrated" or blackened: After charging the battery for 3-6 hours, if the charger's red light remains on, it indicates severe "dehydration" of the battery. Open the cover on top of the battery to reveal six round holes. Check the color of the electrolyte in each hole. If it appears black, it means the lead powder from the plates has fallen off, indicating that the battery is dead.
