A battery refers to a cup, tank, or part of a composite container that contains electrolyte solution and metal electrodes to generate electric current, which can convert chemical energy into electrical energy and has positive and negative poles.

I remember the Camry I drove lasted seven years, and the original battery was replaced in its fourth year. It didn't fail all at once—at first, the car struggled a bit when starting, as if it needed a few seconds to wake up before firing up. Later, during winter drives, the battery drained more easily, and tests showed unstable voltage. Generally, a car battery should be checked every three to five years. The Camry is quite reliable, but it depends on driving habits. If you frequently take short trips, the battery doesn’t get fully charged and ages faster, while high temperatures also speed up corrosion. It’s best to regularly check the dashboard warning lights or ask a friend to help test the voltage. Replacing a new battery costs just a few hundred bucks—don’t wait until you’re stranded on the road.

What to Do If the Car Stalls in Water

Solutions for car stalling in water: 1. Do not restart the engine. When driving through water, use the exhaust pipe's force to push water away if the engine hasn't stalled yet. Restarting after stalling will allow water to enter the engine through the exhaust pipe or air intake, causing engine damage. 2. Push the car aside. After the car stalls in water, push it to the side. This prevents the stalled vehicle from blocking other cars and causing them to stall in water too. 3. Wait for assistance. After driving through water, do not start or drive the vehicle before safety inspection. Contact an auto repair center to have the car towed for thorough inspection. Only resume driving after confirming no safety hazards exist. 4. Professional inspection. For severe water exposure, contact a professional auto repair center and follow their advice on whether to drive or tow the vehicle. Only start driving after the professional inspection confirms the car's condition.

What is the collection standard for vehicle purchase tax in 2021?

In 2021, the vehicle purchase tax rate is 10%. Vehicle purchase tax is a type of tax levied on entities and individuals who purchase specified vehicles within China. All purchases, including buying, importing, self-producing, receiving as a gift, winning as a prize, or obtaining through other means for self-use of taxable vehicles, are subject to vehicle purchase tax. However, the state makes minor adjustments to the preferential policies for purchase tax every year. The calculation formula for the tax payable: Calculation for domestically used vehicles: Additional fees × 10%, where additional fees exclude VAT; Calculation for imported vehicles: Taxable price = Customs duty-paid price + Customs duty + Consumption tax × 10%; Purchase tax amount: The purchase tax amount is 10% of the vehicle's selling price (excluding tax), and the formula is: New vehicle purchase tax amount = Vehicle purchase price (including tax) / 1.17 * 10%.

How to Deal with Fogging Inside the Car During Summer Rain?

Summer rain fogging inside the car can be resolved with the following methods: Anti-fog spray and other preventive measures: Spray a small amount of anti-fog agent on the car windows (inner surface), then wipe it clean to remove dirt and stains from the glass. While polishing the glass, a thin transparent protective film will form on the surface, effectively preventing water vapor from condensing and forming fog. Air conditioning cooling method: Use the air conditioning's cooling and dehumidifying function to reduce air humidity and eliminate fog. Air conditioning heating method: During summer rain, you can also blow hot air onto the glass to quickly raise the temperature of the front windshield, reducing the temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the glass. This helps prevent excessive fogging on the front windshield. However, it should be noted that the rear and side windows heat up more slowly, so it takes longer to remove all the fog.

What is the load capacity of a car?

For household cars, the general load capacity ranges from 375 to 500 kg. The national standard is 375 kilograms, meaning the manufactured car's load capacity must not be less than 375 kg. Specific details are as follows: There are two standards for vehicle load capacity: One is the standard set by traffic and road administration, where two-axle vehicles must not exceed 20 tons, four-axle vehicles (front four rear four) 24 tons, and four-axle vehicles (front four rear eight) 34 tons. Exceeding these limits results in penalties calculated in thousands. The other standard is from the traffic police's perspective, based on the vehicle's registration certificate, which specifies the tonnage as per the factory's certification. Exceeding this limit leads to penalties calculated in hundreds. For the maximum load capacity of a five-seater car (rough estimate, exact values should refer to the manual): Generally, each person is calculated at 75 kg, and the total luggage weight at 100 kg, so 5*75 + 100 = 475 kg.
