1 Answers
The battery model for the Buick GL8 is 80D26R 12V 70A. The battery is a crucial component in a vehicle, supplying power to all electronic devices when the engine is not running. After the engine is started, the alternator takes over the power supply for the electronic devices and also charges the battery. The battery is responsible for starting the engine. During engine startup, the ignition system, fuel supply system, and starter all require electricity to function. The battery is a wearable part that needs regular replacement. Typically, a battery lasts 3 to 4 years, but many car batteries fail before reaching this lifespan due to improper usage habits. When the engine is not running, avoid sitting in the car and using electronic devices for extended periods, as this can shorten the battery's lifespan. During routine maintenance, ask a technician to test the battery's internal resistance and voltage with professional equipment. If these values fall below standard levels, it indicates that the battery needs replacement. If the car will be unused for an extended period, disconnecting the battery's negative terminal can prevent it from discharging. Prolonged discharge can significantly reduce the battery's service life.
