How Often Should the Kuga's Battery Be Replaced?
1 Answers
The lifespan of the Kuga's battery depends on usage conditions, typically ranging between 3 to 6 years. Below is some information about automotive batteries: 1. A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. 2. The common car battery refers to a lead-acid battery, which is primarily made of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Extended content: Automotive batteries can be categorized into the following three types: 1. Conventional Battery: The plates of a conventional battery are made of lead and lead oxides, with an electrolyte of sulfuric acid solution. Its main advantages are stable voltage and low cost; the disadvantages include low specific energy, short lifespan, and frequent maintenance. 2. Dry-Charged Battery: Its full name is dry-charged lead-acid battery. The main feature is that the negative plate has a high capacity for storing electricity. In a completely dry state, it can retain the stored charge for up to two years. When in use, you only need to add the electrolyte and wait for 20-30 minutes before it can be used. 3. Maintenance-Free Battery: Due to its structural advantages, the maintenance-free battery consumes very little electrolyte and basically does not require the addition of distilled water during its lifespan. It also features shock resistance, high-temperature resistance, compact size, and low self-discharge. Its lifespan is generally twice that of a conventional battery.
