Baojun 360 battery warranty period is 12 months or 20,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, as stated in the maintenance manual. Car Battery: Generally, the battery used in a car needs to be replaced every 2 years or so. With proper maintenance, it can last up to 4 years. A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is an essential part of a vehicle and can be divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. A car battery is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy, belonging to the category of DC power sources. Battery Functions: When starting the engine, it provides a strong starting current (around 10A) to the starter. When the generator is overloaded, it can assist the generator in supplying power to electrical devices. When the engine is idling, it supplies power to electrical devices. The battery also acts as a large-capacity capacitor, protecting the vehicle's electrical appliances. When the generator's terminal voltage is higher than the electromotive force of the lead battery, it converts part of the electrical energy into chemical energy for storage, which is the charging process.
I've been using the Baojun 360 for two years, and the battery's lifespan really depends on usage habits. Generally speaking, with normal driving, it should last 3 to 5 years without issues. However, the problem is that we often overlook small details, such as frequent short-distance starts where the battery doesn't get fully charged, leading to a shorter lifespan over time. Living in the north, winters are particularly cold, making the battery prone to freezing and slower starts; in summer, high temperatures cause the electrolyte to evaporate faster, accelerating aging. I recommend regularly checking for terminal corrosion, keeping them clean, and avoiding leaving headlights or music on while parked to prevent unnecessary drainage. If you notice difficulty starting or flickering lights, get the voltage tested at a repair shop immediately—don't wait for a breakdown. Extending battery life isn't hard: develop habits like taking longer drives to recharge or using a smart charger for maintenance.
How long can the Baojun 360's battery last? As an owner, I care more about money-saving strategies. It typically lasts three to five years, but to extend its lifespan, I've learned a few practical tips: avoid daily short trips of just a few minutes; turn off all power-consuming devices like the audio system after parking; check the battery terminals—if they're loose or dirty, address the issue promptly to prevent unexpected drainage. In the hot and humid southern regions, batteries age faster, so I check mine every six months to ensure the fluid levels are normal (if it's a maintainable type). Cost-wise, a new battery replacement can cost several hundred yuan, which is quite expensive; but with good maintenance, you can save this expense. I've tried using a portable charger for maintenance before long holidays, and it worked well, also avoiding the embarrassment of roadside assistance.
