The battery and motor system of Changan Benben comes with a warranty period of 8 years or 120,000 kilometers. If there is any degradation, you need to consult the manufacturer. The manufacturer will then arrange for a designated institution to conduct testing and issue an inspection report. Replacement or repair of the battery will only be provided if the degradation meets the specified standards. Below is some relevant information about the Changan Benben: 1. Body dimensions: The Changan Benben has a body length of 3525mm, width of 1650mm, height of 1550mm, a wheelbase of 2365mm, and front and rear track widths of 1400mm and 1385mm respectively. 2. Power: The Benben is equipped with a 1.3L all-aluminum engine. 3. Configuration: It comes with multiple safety systems, adopts a monocoque body design, and features a high-rigidity safety body. Additionally, high-strength steel plates are used in 74 key areas such as the longitudinal beams, cross beams, and sills for enhanced protection.

I was chatting with a few car enthusiasts about the battery of the Changan Benben, and we agreed that the key lies in the usage method. The battery lifespan is typically 5 to 7 years, or around 100,000 kilometers. I enjoy researching these aspects: ternary lithium batteries are sensitive to high temperatures and deep discharge, so avoid parking under direct sunlight and don't wait for the alarm before charging. Frequent use of fast charging can accelerate cell imbalance, while slow charging is more stable. Efficiency drops in low temperatures, so preheat for a few minutes before driving. Statistically, normal degradation is about 10% annually, possibly leaving 70% capacity after 5 years. Modifications like high-power audio systems or equipment increase the load and reduce lifespan. Regularly perform balanced charging and use professional tools to monitor voltage changes, which can help detect issues early and extend usage.

From a cost-saving perspective, the battery of the Changan Benben can last up to 5 years as a standard, but proper maintenance can extend its lifespan. Avoid daily high-speed driving that drains the battery, stop charging at 80%, and never fully deplete it. Preheat the battery in cold weather and avoid long-term parking in freezing conditions. Free inspections are available during the warranty period, but replacement is expensive, costing several thousand yuan—budget accordingly. My car is three years old with 95% battery health, thanks to regular voltage self-checks. Adding an insulation cover in winter is low-cost but highly effective. Simple habits like parking in the shade and avoiding heavy loads can save you money on battery replacement.

Safe driving is my top priority. The aging battery of the Changan Benben may lead to unstable range or even smoking risks. The standard lifespan is 5 to 7 years, and performance drops sharply when health falls below 75%. I visit a professional shop for inspection every quarter to avoid overlooking potential hazards. During driving, I accelerate smoothly and utilize regenerative braking to conserve power. Avoid prolonged use of air conditioning in temperatures above 40°C to prevent battery overheating; in sub-zero temperatures, preheat the equipment. I've seen cases of battery failure leading to loss of control—regular maintenance is key to prevention. Always use the original charger and avoid non-branded products for the sake of cost savings, as this impacts overall safety.

What Causes a Car to Stall Unexpectedly?

Reasons why a car may stall unexpectedly include: electrical circuit issues; spark plug problems; ignition coil malfunctions; intake system issues; fuel injection problems, etc. If a car suddenly stalls, check the ignition, intake, and fuel injection systems. The ignition system mainly consists of spark plugs and ignition coils. Spark plugs are wear-and-tear components that require regular replacement. Prolonged use can cause the electrode gap to widen, affecting ignition energy. Issues in the fuel injection system can disrupt the engine's fuel supply, preventing normal operation. Problems in the intake system can affect the engine's air intake, as the engine requires a mixture of air and fuel to function properly. Any intake issues can also lead to engine failure.

What does SP mean in engine oil?

Engine oil SP refers to the quality grade of engine oil. SG, SJ, SL, SM, and SP are all grades of gasoline engine oil, with SP being the highest grade currently available. The higher the grade of the engine oil, the higher its various technical indicators, which can significantly extend the engine's service life, prolong the oil change interval, and reduce maintenance cycles. Engine oil plays multiple roles in the engine, including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve the deficiencies of the base oil, providing certain new properties, making them an essential part of lubricating oil.

What Lights to Use When Driving in a Tunnel?

When driving in a tunnel, use low beam headlights. The lighting inside tunnels is dim, and turning on the low beams helps alert other vehicles to your position, ensuring driving safety. In case of an accident or the need for sudden braking inside the tunnel, promptly activate the hazard lights to warn following vehicles to slow down and avoid. Low beam headlights must be turned on in the following situations: 1. When driving in areas without streetlights at night, or during dusk when it's dark or at dawn when light is just appearing; 2. During heavy fog, snow, or rain when visibility is obstructed, even during the day; 3. On certain roads where lighting is insufficient despite the presence of lighting equipment.

Why Do Brake Pads Make Noise?

Reasons for brake pad noise: 1. Excessive wear of brake pads: When brake pads reach the warning line or are excessively worn, they often produce abnormal noises, mainly manifested as sharp metal friction sounds, accompanied by poor braking performance; 2. Hard brake pad material: Since most original brake pads are made of semi-metallic materials, friction between the pads can easily generate noise; 3. Foreign objects between brake pads: During driving, foreign objects such as sand or gravel may get lodged between the brake pads or discs, causing abnormal noises during braking; 4. Improper installation of the braking system: This is mainly related to the spacing between the brake pads and discs, as well as the tightness of the nuts.

What to Do When Car Windows Won't Roll Up or Down?

Solutions for car windows that won't roll up or down: 1. Reset the window lift system: Seek professional technical assistance; 2. Clean debris from the glass guide channel: The owner can use a wet towel or chopsticks to reach into the glass guide channel, applying force to scrape up and down for cleaning, while continuously washing away the removed dirt until the guide channel is completely clean. After cleaning, check if the window glass returns to normal operation; 3. Directly replace the window regulator switch: The window lift switch is a common component in daily vehicle use, with high frequency of use, leading to a higher probability of damage. If the window cannot be rolled up or down, replacing the car window regulator is recommended. Owners are advised to visit a 4S shop for replacement.
