Electric vehicle batteries are divided into three types: lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries, and nickel-metal hydride batteries. Lead-acid batteries: They are inexpensive, have low maintenance costs, mature manufacturing processes, stable performance, good applicability, and high recycling rates; but they are bulky and have relatively poor durability. Lithium batteries: They are lightweight, have many charge-discharge cycles, high rated voltage, strong high-temperature applicability, and are environmentally friendly; but their safety is not very good, with risks of spontaneous combustion or explosion at high temperatures. Nickel-metal hydride batteries: They have high energy density, good low-temperature performance, no memory effect, strong overcharge resistance, and are safe and pollution-free; but they have poor high-temperature resistance, low working voltage, and their overall price is higher than that of lead-acid and lithium batteries, while their overall performance is slightly worse than that of lithium-ion batteries.

As someone fascinated by electric vehicle technology, I find battery classification quite interesting, mainly including three major types: lithium-ion, nickel-metal hydride, and lead-acid. Lithium-ion is most commonly used in high-performance EVs like Tesla, offering fast charging and long range but requiring overheating prevention; nickel-metal hydride is often found in older hybrid vehicles such as the Toyota Prius, with lower energy density but greater stability; lead-acid batteries are primarily used in entry-level models or auxiliary systems like start-stop devices, being affordable but prone to aging. There's also the emerging solid-state battery technology, which offers higher safety and faster charging, potentially replacing lithium-ion in the future. Each type involves different chemical principles and material choices, directly impacting vehicle performance and durability. Daily driving requires adjusting charging habits based on battery characteristics—for example, avoiding deep discharge to extend lifespan, which can save significant maintenance costs.

How to Fix a Flooded Engine?

First, remove the spark plugs and clean them thoroughly. If there is excessive residual oil in the cylinders, it needs to be suctioned out before the engine can be started. Alternatively, press the accelerator pedal all the way down and attempt to start the engine 3 to 5 times consecutively, allowing the engine to run for more than 5 seconds each time before releasing the pedal. Since engine flooding commonly occurs in carbureted engines, it is advisable to press the accelerator pedal a couple more times when starting the engine in winter to increase the amount of gasoline in the cylinders.

What is the maximum wading depth of the Bora?

The wading depth of the Bora is 350mm. The wading depth of the Bora is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when driving through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, off-road vehicles and SUVs have obvious advantages. However, for most compact cars and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a reference when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Bora is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth should not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before the vehicle enters the water, the auto start-stop function must be turned off to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in the water, which could cause severe damage due to water ingestion. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of preceding vehicles and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at a low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, or the wheels and doors of other vehicles as reference points to judge the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Be aware of your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the height of the tires or the engine's air intake, do not proceed recklessly; instead, choose an alternative route.

Where to Adjust the Driver's Seat Height?

There is a lever on the left side of the driver's seat and the right side of the passenger seat for adjusting the height. Pull the lever to adjust the seat height. Approximately maintain a distance of one to two fists between your head and the car roof, ensuring that your eye level is slightly above the center of the vertical distance of the front windshield. Your feet should fully depress the clutch and brake pedals; when holding the steering wheel, your arms should be slightly bent for an optimal position. The backrest angle should be adjusted reasonably—not too reclined nor too upright. In an emergency, an improper angle may increase the risk of injury from airbags.

What Causes the Malfunction of Steering Wheel Sound Control Buttons?

The reasons for the malfunction of steering wheel sound control buttons include functional failure, mechanical failure, circuit failure, or connector failure. Functional failure: Generally, the multifunction steering wheel of a vehicle includes functions such as multimedia volume adjustment, Bluetooth phone calls, and multimedia track navigation. Solution: When these functions fail or behave abnormally, you can manually operate the multimedia buttons on the center console or the corresponding function buttons/knobs on the touchscreen to verify if it is a functional failure. Mechanical failure: Buttons are consumable components that wear out during use, leading to a shortened lifespan. It cannot be ruled out that functional failure and uncontrollable quality are caused by poor quality, unreasonable design, or immature manufacturing processes. Solution: When the first functional verification passes, you can focus on troubleshooting the buttons. Circuit failure or connector failure: Buttons have corresponding matching circuits and connectors/plugs for electronic and electrical connections with the center console. Unsuitable usage environments can accelerate connector oxidation, wire aging, and button contact oxidation, all of which can lead to button failure. Solution: It is recommended to use specialized electronic instruments to check for any abnormalities in the circuit connections.

What Are the Reasons Why a Mechanical Key Can Be Turned but Cannot Open the Car Door?

Mechanical key can be turned but cannot open the car door may be due to the mechanical key not matching, the car door being frozen, or the lock cylinder malfunctioning. Below is a detailed introduction to the reasons why a mechanical key can be turned but cannot open the car door: 1. Mechanical key not matching: Only a mechanical key that matches the lock cylinder can open the car door. When a new key cannot match the lock cylinder, it may result in the car door not being able to open. 2. Car door being frozen: In winter, when the temperature is too low, the car door is very prone to being frozen. In this situation, even if the lock cylinder is unlocked, the car door still cannot be opened. 3. Lock cylinder malfunctioning: If internal parts of the lock cylinder are broken, even if the mechanical key can be turned, the car door still cannot be opened.

How Long Can an Engine Last After a Major Overhaul?

An engine can last for 5-10 years after a major overhaul. However, the mileage after the overhaul will significantly decrease, typically only around 100,000 kilometers. Engine Major Overhaul: A major overhaul is necessary when the engine's power drops severely, accompanied by phenomena such as blue smoke (indicating severe oil consumption), cylinder scoring, or knocking. This involves completely disassembling the engine and replacing components like pistons, piston rings, bearings (big and small ends), valves, timing chains, cylinder boring, crankshaft grinding, and all sealing gaskets and oil seals (for diesel engines, fuel pump calibration is also required). The goal is to restore the engine's performance to its factory specifications. Engine Maintenance Precautions: Tighter Fan Belt is Better: A tighter belt is not necessarily better. Over-tightening can cause the belt to stretch or break, shortening its lifespan. Additionally, excessive tension can lead to deformation or bending of the generator or water pump shafts and premature bearing wear. Using a Blowtorch to Heat the Oil Pan: In winter, using a blowtorch to heat the oil pan can cause chemical changes in the oil additives, reducing their effectiveness. It may also lead to oil caking, deformation of the oil pan, and even fire hazards. Removing the Thermostat Blindly: If the thermostat is removed due to high engine temperature without proper diagnosis, the coolant will only circulate in a large loop, unable to regulate cooling intensity. This makes it difficult to maintain the engine at an optimal operating temperature, often causing it to run too cold. This results in reduced power, accelerated wear, and increased fuel consumption. Engine Temperature: Both excessively high and low engine temperatures are harmful. Always operate the engine within the normal temperature range specified in the vehicle's manual to ensure longevity. Idling to Warm Up the Engine: Warming up the engine at idle speed is inefficient because the low RPM prevents the oil pump from quickly delivering lubricant to all moving parts. The low oil pressure also means critical components operate under dry or semi-dry friction conditions, increasing wear.
