How to Solve a Dead Battery in Chery Tiggo 8?
2 Answers
First, connect the positive and negative terminals of the dead battery to those of a charged battery to start the vehicle. The battery model for Tiggo 8 is 12V60A. It is recommended to have the battery inspected and maintained at a 4S shop every 5,000 kilometers.
I've been driving for over a decade and have encountered dead batteries in my Chery Tiggo 8 quite a few times. That time when the car suddenly wouldn't start in the countryside, even the dashboard lights went out, I immediately called a friend to come jump-start it. When connecting the cables, you must pay attention to getting the positive and negative terminals right, otherwise it could damage the electrical system. After the jump-start, I drove straight to the repair shop for a check-up and found the battery had reached the end of its lifespan after over four years of use - replacing it solved the problem. I recommend always keeping a portable jump starter in your car for emergencies; it saves a lot of hassle. Try to take longer trips or drive on highways regularly to allow the alternator to fully charge the battery, avoiding long-term undercharging from short commutes. Always turn off all electronics and lights when parking, or they'll drain the battery overnight. Cold winter starts are slower and more problematic - test the battery voltage before seasonal changes and address any low readings early. Treat your car like an old partner - proper maintenance prevents breakdowns. Developing these habits saves both peace of mind and money.
