How to Interpret Battery Model Numbers?

Generally, 12V indicates that the battery voltage is 12V; 70AH represents the battery's current value of 70A. Below is relevant information about batteries: 1. Working Principle: A battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of cell that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Lifespan: The normal service life varies from 1 to 8 years, largely depending on the vehicle's condition. Under normal circumstances where the vehicle's alternator charges properly and there are no electrical leaks or grounding issues, the battery can generally last more than 3 years. If you notice that the battery isn't charging properly, the starter is weak, or the headlights are significantly dimmer, the battery should be removed and charged for 12-24 hours using a charger. If the problem persists and the mileage exceeds 50,000 KM, and the alternator is functioning correctly, it may be time to consider replacing the battery.
