How Long is the Battery Warranty for Volkswagen Tayron?
1 Answers
Volkswagen's new Magotan battery has a lifespan of 2-3 years, but as the car's electrical components age, the battery's load gradually increases, which may shorten its service life. Additional information about the battery is as follows: 1. Working Principle: When disconnecting the battery, always start with the negative terminal. Accidentally starting with the positive terminal may cause it to contact the vehicle's body ground, leading to a short circuit and damage to the car's electrical components. After removing the negative terminal, the vehicle's electrical system will be powered off, and the positive terminal can then be removed. Some high-end cars require the electrical system to remain powered during battery replacement, as disconnecting the battery may necessitate the use of a professional automotive diagnostic tool for decoding and matching. Therefore, before replacing the battery, it is essential to connect a backup battery in parallel with the car's battery (both terminals). 2. Precautions: Before installing a new battery, remove the old battery by detaching the mounting bracket or the bottom mounting bolts. Secure the battery bracket (tighten the bolts if there are bottom mounting bolts), install the positive terminal first, and cover it with the insulating sleeve. Then, install the negative terminal. At this point, the vehicle's electrical system is fully powered. After connecting both terminals, manually check if the battery terminals are securely fixed—they must not be loose. (Typically, repair shops apply petroleum jelly to the battery terminals after replacement to prevent oxidation and rust, which could affect conductivity and ease future removal.) Now, you can insert the key and start the engine to check for any abnormalities in the dashboard indicators. Usually, disconnecting the battery during replacement may cause some electrical components to malfunction temporarily, and the dashboard will display warning indicators.
