What is a sail battery?

[McLouis]

sail refers to the Sail (Fengfan) storage battery. The English version of Sail (Fengfan) is more suitable for southern regions, while the Chinese version is more suitable for northern regions. The English version of Sail (Fengfan) is slightly lighter in weight compared to the Chinese version. The Sail battery is a Fengfan brand storage battery. Fengfan Co., Ltd. has introduced multiple dedicated production lines and testing equipment for storage batteries, with product performance meeting international standards. Currently, it is a partner of domestic automobile manufacturers such as FAW-Volkswagen, Beijing Hyundai, and Dongfeng Motor. It is also the exclusive domestic supplier of AGM batteries for Mercedes-Benz and BMW, with a supporting ratio of over 60% for domestic mid-to-high-end vehicle models. Common knowledge about Fengfan storage batteries: Before installing a new battery, clean the corrosion on the battery terminals, tray, and bracket, as it can easily cause poor contact, leading to short circuits and leakage. When removing the battery, disconnect the "ground terminal" first, and when installing, connect the "ground terminal" last. High temperatures can accelerate the self-discharge of the battery, so avoid storing the battery in high-temperature environments. Avoid mixing with alkaline substances.

When I usually repair cars and replace batteries, I often hear people say that Sail batteries are actually Fengfan brand batteries. This brand has been in China for decades and is quite reliable in quality, such as strong starting current and no fear of freezing the engine even in sub-zero winters. However, it should be noted that it mainly produces lead-acid batteries, which are divided into maintenance-free and regular types; the regular ones require periodic addition of electrolyte, while the maintenance-free ones are more worry-free. The price ranges from 300-600 yuan, not the cheapest but offers good value for money, suitable for family cars. The only drawback is that heavy loads can easily reduce their lifespan, so long-distance or pickup truck users need to check the voltage more frequently to prevent breakdowns on the road.

Last year, my car battery died, so I directly replaced it with a Sail brand battery. The mechanic recommended it as a Fengfan brand product. It's been almost a year with no issues—quick starts and very quiet operation. Cost around 400 yuan, much more affordable than imported brands. Fengfan batteries are quite popular locally, available at many small shops. Just remember to choose the correct model matching your vehicle. For daily use, avoid draining the battery by listening to music after turning off the engine. Typically lasts two to three years—a cost-effective choice overall.

Sail battery? Oh, I guess it refers to the Sail automotive battery. It's a well-established brand commonly seen in China, used for vehicle starting. The battery quality is decent with moderate pricing, offering hassle-free usage. When purchasing a car, you can check if it's originally equipped with a Sail battery. If it fails, just replace it with the same model—don't opt for cheap off-brands to avoid potential stalling issues.
