How many years can a Geely Emgrand battery generally last?
2 Answers
Geely Emgrand batteries can generally last for about 3 years. The designed lifespan of a battery is 27 months. For general family use, the battery tends to be more durable, with new car batteries often lasting 3-4 years. However, after the first replacement, the battery usually needs to be replaced every 2 years. Below is additional information: Inspect the battery's exterior: Check if the battery casing is bulging, leaking, has broken separators, or shows corrosion on the terminals. If any of these signs are present, it indicates the battery is dead and needs replacement. Test 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, test the battery 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.
I've been driving a Geely Emgrand for several years. The battery usually lasts 2 to 3 years, and I've replaced mine twice - the first one lasted two and a half years, and the second nearly three years. My daily commute consists of short trips, so the battery doesn't get fully charged and tends to lose power. In summer when temperatures are high, the battery ages faster. From discussions in our car owners' group, I've learned that with driving habits like ours, battery life tends to be shorter. Here's some advice: don't keep headlights or other electronics on for too long before starting the car, turn off all power after parking, and occasionally take the car on highways for charging. If cold starts are slow in winter, it might indicate a failing battery - replace it early to avoid embarrassing breakdowns. Batteries are inexpensive, costing just a few hundred yuan to replace, but safety should always come first.
