A dead car battery generally takes about 15 to 20 hours to fully charge. Precautions for battery charging include: 1. Connect directly to the battery for charging, avoiding removal of the battery to prevent data loss; 2. If the battery voltage is 10% lower than the rated voltage, it may lead to battery discharge; 3. Avoid water contact with the battery during charging. The functions of the battery are: 1. When starting the engine, the battery supplies power to the starting system, ignition system, and electronic fuel injection system; 2. When the engine is off or at low idle, it powers the vehicle's electrical equipment; 3. It can assist in powering electrical devices when the generator's output is insufficient; 4. It mitigates impact voltage in the electrical system, protecting the vehicle's electronic devices; 5. It stores excess electricity generated by the alternator.

What are the differences between SUVs and off-road vehicles?

The differences between SUVs and off-road vehicles are as follows: Different purposes: An SUV is a Sport Utility Vehicle, different from an ORV (Off-Road Vehicle) that can be used on rough terrain. It combines the space functionality of a station wagon with the off-road capabilities of a pickup truck; an off-road vehicle ORV is specifically designed for off-road use, mainly referring to vehicles that can operate on rugged terrain. Different characteristics: The most notable feature of an off-road vehicle is its strong off-road capability, along with certain cargo-carrying abilities, but its sportiness and comfort are not outstanding. When these shortcomings of off-road vehicles are improved, the result can be called an SUV. Different functionalities: Off-road vehicles are members of the military vehicle family, most of which have certain off-road driving capabilities; SUVs excel in passenger space, offering ample room whether in the front or rear seats. The front seats provide excellent wrapping and support, and the vehicle has numerous storage compartments for everyday convenience.

How many meters before entering a tunnel must the vehicle's headlights be turned on?

Vehicle headlights must be turned on 50 meters before entering a tunnel. Introduction: If there is a sign in the tunnel indicating a speed limit of 80km/h on the preceding section of the road, then the driver must not exceed 80km/h. When the speed limit is 80km/h, if the driver reaches 90km/h, this is calculated as exceeding the speed limit by 12.5%, which means it has already surpassed 10%. Section speed control: Many drivers do not pay attention to warning signs before entering a tunnel. After seeing a 120km/h speed limit sign at the tunnel entrance, they continue driving at 120km/h, or only slow down in speed camera zones. Some even fail to notice the section speed control signs. In section speed control areas, the average speed must be below the section speed limit to avoid violating traffic rules.
