It is generally equipped with Tianneng and Chaowei batteries. Below is relevant information about car batteries: Battery: A battery, also known as a storage battery, is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Car batteries typically refer to lead-acid batteries, which are mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The normal service life of a car battery ranges from 1 to 8 years, largely depending on the vehicle's usage conditions. Battery Replacement: If the battery is dead, it is recommended to first measure the battery voltage. If using a multimeter, check the battery voltage when starting the engine. You can initially measure it with a high-frequency discharge tester or a battery tester. Under a load current of no less than 110 amps, the minimum voltage should not be lower than 9.6 volts and should remain stable for 5 seconds. If the voltage is below 9.6 volts but can remain stable for 5 seconds, it indicates over-discharge and should be recharged promptly. If the voltage is below 9.6 volts and cannot remain stable for 5 seconds, rapidly dropping to 0 volts or close to 0 volts, it suggests a possible battery fault that may require replacement.
My car is a Volkswagen Bora, and the original battery was labeled with VARTA Blue when I picked it up. The 4S technician said mainstream joint-venture cars mostly use big brands like VARTA, Fengfan, or Camel, depending on the OEM's procurement orders. VARTA's EFB start-stop batteries are particularly durable—mine lasted four and a half years before replacement. A reminder: check the laser-etched production date on the battery side; crouch down to read the label for accuracy—don’t just trust repair shops. Also, remember to bring the old battery back to the 4S for trade-in—it saves around 100 yuan, is eco-friendly, and cost-effective.
