How long does the Tiida battery last?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, the Tiida battery can last 3-5 years. The designed lifespan of the battery is 27 months. Generally, family cars are more economical, and many new car batteries can last 3-4 years. However, after the first replacement, it usually needs to be replaced again in about 2 years. The steps to check the condition of the battery are as follows: 1. Inspect the battery exterior: Check if the battery casing is bulging, leaking, has broken partitions, or if the terminals are corroded. If any of these signs are present, it indicates the battery is dead and needs replacement. 2. Check the battery voltage: After charging for two hours, measure the voltage of each battery cell every 20 minutes. If the voltage is below 13, it indicates a problem with the battery. During discharge, check 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 for 'water loss' and blackening: After charging the battery for 3-6 hours, if the charger's red light remains on, it indicates severe 'water loss'. Open the cover on top of the battery to see six round holes. Check the color of the electrolyte in each hole. If it appears black, it means the lead powder on the plates has fallen off, and the battery is dead.
