What is the battery size of the Dongfeng Xiaokang C36 extended version?
2 Answers
The battery size of the Dongfeng Xiaokang C36 extended version is 237mm in length, 136.2mm in width, and 200mm in height. The following are precautions for using car batteries: Frequent engine starting: New drivers often stall when they first start driving. After stalling, they may panic, especially if there are people behind urging them, leading to repeated attempts to start the engine. This frequent starting behavior can easily drain the battery, and prolonged over-discharge can affect the battery's lifespan. Not unplugging external devices after turning off the engine: Many car owners now have various external devices installed in their cars, such as GPS, air purifiers, and dash cams, all of which rely on the cigarette lighter for power. In some car models, the cigarette lighter remains powered even after the engine is turned off. If these external devices are not disconnected, they will inevitably consume the battery's power, leading to certain levels of battery wear and tear.
I've been driving the Dongfeng Xiaokang C36 Extended Version for several years. The car's battery is usually around 60Ah, and the capacity is quite crucial as it affects the car's starting power. In cold winters, if the battery is too small, it becomes difficult to start the engine, while a larger one is just a waste of money. I recommend having the mechanic check the voltage and lifespan during every maintenance session. If the battery ages quickly, it might need replacement in less than three years. I've replaced the battery once myself and opted for the factory-recommended 60Ah specification with a cold cranking amperage (CCA) of around 520A. Don’t go for a cheaper, smaller option, as it could lead to dangerous stalling on the road. Keep the battery terminals clean to prevent corrosion and short circuits. The car has ample space, making the battery easy to locate and replace, but still, handle it with care.
