How to Replace the Battery in a Sylphy Car?
2 Answers
Sylphy car battery replacement method: Use the bridging method, which involves using jumper cables with clamps to connect the old and new batteries in parallel, remove the old battery, disconnect its wires connected to the car, then connect them to the new battery accordingly, install the new battery, and remove the jumper cables. To ensure the car remains powered, the new battery should be almost fully charged. The Sylphy's body dimensions are 4631mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1503mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The 2019 National VI version of the Sylphy uses a 1.6-liter inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, where 1.6 refers to the engine's displacement of 1.6 liters.
Last time I replaced the battery for my Sylphy went pretty smoothly. Prepare a 10mm wrench and insulated gloves, turn off the engine and remove the key. Open the hood, the battery is on the left side with clear markings. First, use the wrench to loosen the black negative terminal clamp screw, remove the cable, then disconnect the red positive terminal to prevent accidental short circuits. Take out the old battery and clean the base to ensure there's no corrosion. Place the new battery securely, connect the positive terminal first, then the negative, and tighten the clamps. Start the car to test if everything works fine. I check the battery voltage every two years to avoid it aging too quickly under summer heat and failing on the road. Doing it myself saved over two hundred bucks from the repair shop, quite cost-effective. The tools are simple and easy to find, and it takes less than half an hour.
