What is the lifespan of the Wuling Hongguang battery?
2 Answers
The designed lifespan of the Wuling Hongguang battery is 27 months. Generally, family vehicles are more economical, and many new car batteries can last for 3-4 years. Below is some related information about automotive batteries: Classification: The battery is an essential part of a car and can be divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. Advantages: Since automotive batteries use lead-calcium alloy for the grid frame, the amount of water decomposition during charging is reduced, and water evaporation is also low. Additionally, the sealed structure of the casing minimizes the release of sulfuric acid gas. Compared to traditional batteries, they offer advantages such as no need to add any liquid, easy connection to terminal posts, and longer power storage duration.
I've been using my Wuling Hongguang for cargo transport for over three years. Generally, the battery lasts about three to four years, depending on your driving habits. I drive long distances daily, so the battery gets fully charged and is quite durable. However, if you mostly drive short distances, like just circling around the city, the battery might not charge fully and could wear out faster. High temperatures in summer are particularly harsh on the battery, accelerating electrolyte evaporation and speeding up aging. Cold starts in winter are also more challenging. I recommend regularly checking the battery terminals and voltage. If the voltage drops below 12 volts, it's time to replace it. The original Wuling battery is cost-effective, but avoid adding too many electronic devices like dash cams or powerful sound systems, as they increase the load. Remember to turn off the radio and lights when parking and shutting off the engine to extend the battery's life. Once, I forgot to turn off the lights overnight, and the battery almost died—a lesson learned, so everyone should be more careful.
