What is the battery model for electric vehicles?
2 Answers
Electric vehicle batteries are generally: 10AH, 12AH, 20AH. The following is a related introduction about batteries: Battery: The battery is also called a storage battery, which is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. The battery refers to a lead-acid battery. That is, a battery mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The normal service life of a car battery varies from 1 to 8 years, which is greatly related to the use of the vehicle. Battery replacement: If the battery is dead, it is recommended to measure the battery voltage first. If using a multimeter to check, measure the battery voltage when starting the motor. You can first use a high-frequency discharge machine or a battery tester to measure. Under the condition that the load current is not less than 110 amps, its minimum voltage should not be lower than 9.6 volts and remain stable within 5 seconds. If the voltage is lower than 9.6 volts but can remain stable within 5 seconds, it is over-discharged and should be charged in time; if the voltage is lower than 9.6 volts and cannot remain stable within 5 seconds and drops rapidly to 0 volts or close to 0 volts, it indicates that the battery may be faulty and needs to be replaced.
I've been driving for over a decade, and battery specifications truly vary by vehicle. For instance, when I last replaced the battery in my Toyota Corolla, the label showed 12 volts 60 amp-hours. Each car brand has its own designated specifications—there's no universal standard. You should first check your vehicle manual or VIN code to confirm. A common mistake is blindly purchasing universal batteries, which might not fit due to size mismatches or have insufficient CCA (Cold Cranking Amps), leading to starting issues in winter. I recommend paying attention to the markings on your old battery during routine maintenance—mine follows the DIN standard. Battery capacity significantly impacts lifespan; too large can cause discharge issues, while too small may struggle to power onboard devices. Regular inspections can save you a lot of trouble.
