The most direct consequence of a dead car battery is the inability to start the vehicle, and the car's anti-theft system will also fail to function properly. Here are some recommendations regarding car battery usage: 1. When the car is not in use for an extended period, it is advisable to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent it from being completely drained. If the car remains unused for a long time, you can occasionally drive it to allow the battery to recharge. 2. If the battery remains in a low-charge state for a prolonged period, its lifespan will be significantly reduced. 3. During regular maintenance, have a professional check the battery's internal resistance and voltage. If these values do not meet the standard requirements, the battery should be replaced.

At what voltage is a 12V battery considered bad?

A good 12V battery will recover to 11.5V after being completely discharged, so a battery with a virtual voltage below 11.5V is generally considered damaged. Types of automotive batteries: Automotive batteries typically come in two types: 12V and 24V. For a 12V battery, 10.5V is its minimum discharge voltage. The voltage level of the battery directly affects the car's startup. If the car is difficult or unable to start, it is likely due to low voltage. If the battery is damaged, it could be due to excessively high voltage. Therefore, if the car fails to start, it is highly likely that the voltage has dropped below 10.5V, in which case the battery needs to be charged with a charger. Note that if the battery frequently runs out of power, it is recommended to replace it. Reasons for automotive battery discharge: The common reasons for a car battery running out of power are forgetting to turn off car appliances after exiting the vehicle or faults in the generator or the battery itself. Proper usage is essential to extend the battery's lifespan.

What is Automotive Urea Solution?

Automotive urea refers to an aqueous urea solution with a urea concentration of 32.5% and a solvent of ultra-pure water. The raw materials are specialized automotive urea materials and ultra-pure water. Main principle of automotive urea: Urea undergoes hydrolysis in the aqueous solution at temperatures between 70-75°C. At temperatures below 30°C, urea crystallizes back out of the solution. Each cycle of hydrolysis and crystallization significantly improves its purity. Generally, industrial-grade urea only needs to undergo one hydrolysis-crystallization cycle to meet automotive urea standards, with a yield ratio of 1.5:1. Introduction to automotive urea: For heavy-duty trucks, buses, and other diesel vehicles to meet the China IV emission standards, an appropriate Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system must be used for exhaust treatment. This system requires the use of urea solution to treat nitrogen oxides in the exhaust. Therefore, automotive urea solution has become an essential product for heavy-duty trucks and buses to comply with the China IV emission standards.

Why Does the Handbrake Keep Freezing in Winter?

Here are the reasons why the handbrake often freezes in winter: Reasons for Mechanical Handbrake Freezing: For manual parking systems, there is generally only one reason why the handbrake gets stuck and cannot be released in winter: the brake disc and brake pads are frozen together and cannot separate. The solution is to engage the gear after warming up the car, release the handbrake lever, slightly lift the clutch, and press the clutch when the car shows a tendency to move forward. Repeat this process several times to see if it can be released. Reasons for Electronic Parking System Freezing: Typically, electronic parking systems are more resistant to freezing than traditional mechanical handbrakes. Pressing the unlock button allows for smooth driving. However, it is important to note that the brake discs of electronic brakes can also freeze if they get wet after washing the car or after long-distance driving on slippery surfaces. If the brake discs freeze due to water ingress, the only solution is to pour hot water to thaw them. However, the extent of freezing is unpredictable, and the torque of automatic transmission vehicles is not entirely under the driver's control when the brake is released. Therefore, using movement to thaw is not recommended.
