How to start a Geely Boyue when the battery is dead?
3 Answers
If the Geely Boyue's battery is dead, it should be replaced. When replacing the battery, it is essential to use a battery of the same model and specifications. Methods to determine if the Geely Boyue's battery has power: For the Geely Boyue, you can first check the battery's status by looking at the observation window on the top of the battery. Regularly inspect the observation window to understand the battery's condition: Green: The battery is in good condition; Black: The battery needs charging; White: The battery needs replacement. Solutions for a dead or faulty battery: If the battery is dead or faulty, its output power decreases in low temperatures due to increased electrolyte viscosity, reduced permeability, and higher resistance, making it difficult for the starter to crank the engine to the minimum starting speed, thus affecting engine startup. Use a multimeter to check the battery voltage or directly test with a new battery.
Last time I drove a Geely Boyue, I also encountered a dead battery that prevented startup. Luckily, a friend came to help with a jump start. Remember the steps: Park another car nearby and turn off its engine, connect the cables first to my car's positive terminal (red clamp to the battery's red-marked terminal), then to the other car's positive terminal; the black clamp goes to the other car's negative terminal, and the other black clamp attaches to a metal part of my car's engine (never connect to the battery's negative terminal to avoid sparks). Then start the other car's engine, wait a few minutes for the current to stabilize, and try starting my car—it finally roared to life! Reflecting afterward, the issue likely arose from forgetting to turn off lights or an aging battery. It's best to check battery health every six months to avoid last-minute panic. When jump-starting, be careful not to let the cables touch each other; keeping a safe distance is priority one. Keeping emergency cables in your toolkit is super handy.
When I first started driving, my Geely Boyue suddenly wouldn't start, which scared me. I quickly searched online and found that buying a portable emergency power source was the easiest solution, so I got one. The usage is very simple: connect the device's positive and negative terminals to the corresponding battery terminals (red to red, black to black), press the power button, and the car starts immediately—no need to ask for help, especially suitable for those living in remote areas. That experience taught me the importance of regular battery maintenance, checking for loose or corroded battery terminals, and ensuring lights are turned off when parking to prevent future incidents. The emergency power source doesn't take up much space in the trunk, is affordable, and practical—new drivers should really have one.
