How many days will the battery of Hongqi HS5 be dead if parked?

The specific situation depends on the actual condition and battery status of the Hongqi HS5. If it is a new car, the battery generally won't have major issues for one to two months; if it is an older vehicle with significantly degraded battery performance, it may completely discharge after just a few days of parking. The methods to start a car with a dead battery are as follows: Manual Push-Start: The owner sits in the car to drive, while four other people push the car from the front, back, left, and right. When the car reaches a certain speed, the owner shifts into first gear to start the engine gradually. Jumper Cable Assistance: Another car that can start normally is needed. First, connect the positive terminals of both car batteries with jumper cables, then connect the negative terminals. After ensuring the jumper cables are correctly connected, start the assisting car first, followed by the disabled car. Once the disabled car starts successfully, the jumper cables can be removed.
After owning a Hongqi HS5 for a year, I frequently encountered similar issues. The battery might drain within a few days after parking, especially if additional electronic devices are installed in the car, such as a dashcam or modified audio system. The factory-set dark current for the Hongqi HS5 is typically around 30-50mA, meaning there's still a small amount of power consumption after parking. A new battery usually has a capacity of 60-70Ah, which can last about 5-7 days under normal conditions. However, if the car is an older model or exposed to low winter temperatures, the battery may age faster and could be depleted in just three days. To avoid this problem, I recommend regularly taking the car for short drives to recharge the battery or adding a battery maintainer. For long periods of parking, disconnect the negative terminal, but be cautious as this may reset the anti-theft system. In summary, develop a habit of checking the battery's health and use a multimeter to ensure the voltage stays above 12V for peace of mind.
