The original battery model of the BYD S7 is a VARTA 12V80AH maintenance-free battery. Generally, the service life of an automotive battery is about 2 years, but with proper maintenance, it can last 3 to 4 years. Seasonal maintenance of the battery is essential. Below is an introduction to the BYD S7: 1. The 2017 S7 features an X-shaped front face design, with a new "bowtie" grille divided into two layers by a red line. The new model also comes with updated rims, a newly designed LED taillight cluster, and is equipped with a roof rack, side window bright trim, fender decorations, tailgate decorations, and other embellishments. 2. The S7 offers two engine options: a 1.5T and a 2.0T. The 1.5T turbocharged direct-injection engine delivers 113kW (154PS)/240PS and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The 2.0T engine is matched with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission and also features turbocharged direct-injection technology, with a maximum output of 151kW (205PS)/320PS.

I remember when I replaced the battery for my 2015 BYD S7, I specifically checked that the original factory model was Varta 6-QW-60(580)-L. However, it's important to note that different year batches may vary—for example, my neighbor's 2017 model used a Fengfan battery instead. I recommend popping the hood to check the label on your old battery, focusing on the two key parameters: 12V voltage and 60Ah capacity. When buying a new battery, besides the model number, also pay attention to the size—the 55D26L base style is universally compatible, so make sure not to buy the wrong specification and end up unable to install it. Nowadays, replacing a battery is quite convenient; just enter your car model on JD.com, and it will automatically match the correct battery model, allowing you to schedule a doorstep installation directly.

Last month, I just helped my cousin replace the battery in his S7. The most common OEM battery is the Varta Blue series with 60Ah capacity. I asked several shops in the auto parts market, and they said this model generally fits the 55D26L battery size. During the replacement, I noticed a detail: the battery box buckle is quite unique, requiring the front screw of the bracket to be loosened first. As for the price, trading in the old battery for a new one cost around 400 yuan. It's recommended to have the mechanic check the generator voltage as well. In our case, we found the voltage regulator was slightly high, which almost damaged the new battery.

The mainstream battery model for the BYD S7 is 6-QW-60, with common brands including Varta/Fengfan/Camel. When replacing it yourself, pay attention to three points: the battery dimensions are 207mm in width, 175mm in height, and less than 30cm in length; the electrode terminals feature an L-type interface with the positive terminal on the left; it's safer to choose a cold cranking current (CCA) of 580A or higher. When shopping online, searching for 'BYD S7 dedicated battery' is the easiest option, but it's recommended to choose a seller with a nearby warehouse for shipping, as this item weighs nearly 20 kilograms.

What is a Manual-Automatic Transmission Car?

A manual-automatic transmission car refers to a vehicle that perfectly combines manual shifting and automatic shifting. The relevant introduction about manual-automatic transmission cars is as follows: Basic Introduction: A manual-automatic transmission car is a vehicle equipped with a "manual-automatic" transmission. This type of transmission combines both manual and automatic shifting modes, and such transmissions typically feature prominent +/- indicators. Advantages: Proper use of the gear limiter can reduce the frequency of gear shifts. Automatic transmissions often have an "OD" (Overdrive) button on the shift lever or panel. Pressing the OD button prevents the transmission from shifting into the highest gear. To achieve fuel efficiency and smooth driving, automatic transmissions tend to use the highest gear whenever possible. However, in urban driving conditions with heavy traffic and slow speeds, frequent acceleration and braking are often required. During acceleration, the transmission downshifts to a lower gear for better performance, and when decelerating, it upshifts for smoother operation. This frequent gear shifting not only disrupts smooth driving but can also affect the transmission's lifespan over time.

What Are the Correct Methods for Depressing the Clutch While Driving?

Here are the correct methods for depressing the clutch while driving: 1. The correct way to depress the clutch is to use the ball of your foot with your left heel as the pivot point; 2. When starting the car: Quickly depress the clutch fully, then rapidly release it to the semi-engaged state while slightly pressing the accelerator to increase engine speed, then gently lift the clutch slowly, pausing slightly when reaching full engagement; 3. When downshifting: First reduce the car's speed until it reaches the appropriate speed for downshifting, then quickly depress the clutch and follow the "fast-slow-engagement" principle to control the clutch; 4. When upshifting: Increase the accelerator to raise engine speed, then quickly depress the clutch and gently release it slowly, you may slightly press the accelerator during the release process; 5. When stopping the car: Depress the clutch when the speed drops below 15KM/H, then use the brake to stop the vehicle completely, and slowly release the clutch after coming to a full stop.

Where is the one-third position of the hood?

The one-third position of the hood is approximately 10~15 cm away from the headlights. More information about the hood is as follows: 1. The hood is made of rubber foam and aluminum foil materials. 2. While reducing engine noise, it can also isolate the heat generated during engine operation, effectively protecting the paint surface on the hood and preventing aging. 3. The exterior design of a vehicle is a visual representation of its value. As an important component of the overall appearance, the hood plays a crucial role and can reflect the concept of the entire car.

What to Do When Your New Car Gets Hit and Becomes a Totaled Vehicle?

After a new car is hit by another party and becomes a totaled vehicle, the owner has the right to demand compensation from the at-fault party for repair costs, loss of items in the vehicle, towing fees; for commercial vehicles, compensation should cover lost income during downtime, while for non-commercial vehicles, reasonable transportation expenses during the period the vehicle is unusable should be reimbursed. The handling steps are as follows: Document the vehicle damage: Carefully inspect the vehicle's condition, preferably carrying a device with photo-taking capabilities to record the scratched areas and overall vehicle status. When taking photos, ensure both parties are present in the frame, and capture multiple angles of the front, rear, and damaged sections of the vehicle. Record basic information: Document the details of both vehicles and their owners, including license plate numbers, driver's licenses, and vehicle registration certificates. Clarify liability determination: Pay special attention to the responsibilities assigned by traffic police during the liability assessment. Common scenarios include: failure to maintain a safe distance, where the rear vehicle is responsible for a rear-end collision; lane changes by a motor vehicle that disrupt normal traffic flow, where the lane-changing party is responsible; at signal-controlled intersections, turning vehicles failing to yield to through traffic. Vehicle damage assessment and claims: First, take the vehicle to an insurance claims service center for damage assessment. During subsequent repairs, keep all repair invoices.
