How long does the battery of Geely Emgrand GS generally last?
2 Answers
Generally, the lifespan of a car battery is 3 to 4 years, and it should be replaced every 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Function of the battery: The battery not only provides electrical energy for the vehicle but also stores electrical energy, which is the origin of its name. "Power supply" and "energy storage" correspond to the discharge and charge processes of the battery, respectively. The battery is a DC power source. Uses of the battery: When the engine starts or runs at low speed, the car generator does not generate electricity or the voltage is very low. At this time, the starter, ignition system, and the electrical equipment in the car all rely on the battery for power supply. When the engine is running normally, the generator supplies power to the electrical equipment in the car.
I've been driving a Geely Emgrand GS for almost four years now. Typically, a car battery lasts about three to four years. By the third year, I noticed my car was starting slower, especially during cold winter mornings when it required more effort. Several factors affect battery life: frequent short trips, like a few kilometers for commuting, prevent the battery from fully charging, leading to faster aging. Temperature also plays a role—extreme summer heat or freezing winter conditions significantly reduce battery performance. Additionally, avoid keeping high-power-consuming devices like headlights or air conditioning on for long periods, especially when the engine is off, as this accelerates battery drain. During annual maintenance, ask the technician to check the battery voltage and inspect the terminals for corrosion—cleaning them can help extend battery life. If the battery is really struggling, it's best to replace it promptly to avoid the hassle of a roadside breakdown. Generally, paying attention to these details in advance can save you from costly repairs later.
