How to Use the Battery Correctly?
2 Answers
Try to keep the battery in a fully charged state. After turning off the vehicle, avoid listening to the radio, watching movies, charging mobile phones, etc. For additional installations like positioning systems or anti-theft systems, it is recommended to have them installed at authorized 4S stores or reputable locations to prevent power leakage.
I've been using my car for many years, and I pay special attention to the battery. Before every trip, I simply check if the terminal ends are corroded or loose, and wipe them with some warm water. Remember, winter is when problems are most likely to occur, especially when the temperature drops below freezing—the battery performance declines, so I make sure to fully charge it beforehand. When charging, use a slow charger; avoid fast charging as it can be too harsh and damage the battery. Also, minimize using the air conditioner or headlights after turning off the engine to prevent draining the battery. When replacing the battery, choose one that matches your car model—don’t skimp and buy a no-name brand. Keep an emergency jump starter in your car just in case you break down and need a self-rescue. In short, the battery is the lifeblood of your car. Developing a habit of checking and maintaining it doesn’t take much time but can save you a lot of trouble and money.
