How many years can the battery of a Geely Emgrand generally last?
2 Answers
Geely Emgrand batteries can generally last for about 3 years. The designed lifespan of the battery is 27 months. For general family use, the battery tends to last longer, with many new car batteries lasting 3-4 years. However, after the first replacement, the battery usually needs to be replaced every 2 years or so. Below is additional information: Inspect the battery's exterior: Check if the battery casing is bulging, leaking, has broken separators, or if the battery terminals are corroded. If any of these signs are present, it indicates that the battery is dead and needs to be replaced. 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, measure the voltage three times every 10 minutes. If the battery discharges faster than others and the voltage drops below 10V, it also indicates a problem with the battery.
I usually drive very carefully, and the original battery of my Geely Emgrand lasted four years before needing replacement. The lifespan of this thing is highly related to usage habits. I drive on the highway for half an hour every week to fully charge the battery, and I always turn off the AC and headlights before shutting down the engine. If you frequently drive short distances of just 2-3 kilometers with frequent stops and starts, the battery won’t get fully charged, and you’ll need a replacement in just two years. Also, northern winters with temperatures as low as -20°C are the most damaging to batteries. My neighbor’s car made a clicking noise during cold starts, and the battery died after just two and a half years. Keeping an emergency jump starter in the trunk is quite practical, especially since sudden battery failure is very common after three years of use. During routine maintenance, ask the mechanic to test the battery voltage—if the health drops below 60%, it’s time to prepare for a replacement.
