Here is the situation regarding how often a car should be driven in summer: 1. New cars: A new car should be driven at least once a month, as all components, including the battery, tires, and engine oil, are brand new, making it much more resistant to wear compared to a car that has been used for several years. 2. Used cars: A used car should be driven at least once every two weeks or even once a week. When a car is not started for a long time, most of the lubricant adhering to the parts that should be lubricated will flow back to the oil pan under the force of gravity, reducing the lubrication effect on various moving parts. If the tires remain stationary for a long time, the parts in contact with the ground will develop noticeable deformation, leading to poor dynamic balance, which can have a significant impact on the car.

Can a Car with Start-Stop Function Use a Regular Battery?

Cars with start-stop function cannot use regular batteries. Here are the reasons: Start-stop dedicated batteries are different from regular batteries. Start-stop dedicated batteries can withstand frequent starts and rapid charging, as they are specifically designed for the automatic start-stop function. Below is some information about the start-stop function: (1) The automatic engine start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts it when it's time to move forward again. (2) It involves installing an enhanced motor with idle start-stop capability in a traditional engine, allowing the engine to completely shut off when idle stop conditions are met. (3) When the vehicle needs to start moving again, the idle start-stop motor system quickly responds to the driver's start command, rapidly restarting the engine for seamless transition, thereby reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
