The Baojun 730 uses a Camel brand 86550T-12V-55Ah-550CCA battery. The car battery is installed in a suitable position with special safety considerations. If battery replacement is necessary, the electromagnetic compatibility, size, maintenance, output power, and safety requirements of the new battery should be considered before purchase. Methods to check the battery condition are as follows: 1. Routine inspection: Check whether the battery is firmly installed, whether the battery cables and terminal connections are secure, and whether the contact is good. Observe whether the battery casing is cracked. 2. Status check: Modern cars generally use maintenance-free batteries. Most of these maintenance-free batteries have a density indicator on the cover, commonly known as the "magic eye," which changes color according to the changes in the electrolyte density, displaying the battery status through different colors. Usually, when the magic eye is green, it indicates that the battery has sufficient power and is in normal condition; when the magic eye is black, it indicates that the battery is low on power and needs to be charged or replaced promptly; when the magic eye shows light yellow or no color, it indicates that the battery's acid level is too low or there is an internal fault, requiring repair or replacement. 3. Liquid level check: Check whether the electrolyte level is at the specified position. On the side of the plastic-cased battery, there are two liquid level lines marked: MAX and MIN. The battery status display indicates that the electrolyte level should be maintained between these two lines. Under no circumstances should the electrolyte level exceed the MAX mark or fall below the MIN mark.

I've been driving the Baojun 730 for several years and have replaced the battery once. It usually comes with a 12V 60Ah battery, model 6-QW-60. The lifespan is typically three to five years, depending on driving habits. I recommend not opting for cheap alternatives; choose reputable brands like Camel or Fengfan for better durability and stable voltage, otherwise, you might face starting issues in winter. If you're doing it yourself, remember to disconnect the negative terminal first to avoid short circuits. For regular maintenance, frequently check the electrolyte level and top up with distilled water to prevent overheating. I once saw a neighbor's car stall midway due to a low-spec battery, and they had to rely on a jump starter to get going. So, it's crucial to regularly inspect the battery, especially before the rainy season or winter. Use a multimeter to check if the voltage is around 12.6V to avoid unexpected breakdowns and travel delays.

I've serviced quite a few Baojun 730 models, and the mainstream battery model is 6-QW-60. The 60Ah capacity is just right for this vehicle's engine requirements. When selecting a battery, pay attention to the case dimensions to avoid exceeding specifications, otherwise it won't fit. I remind owners not to go for cheap off-brand options - genuine products like VARTA or Bosch are more reliable, with longer lifespan and less hassle. Before replacing the battery, it's best to test the old battery's voltage - if it's below 12V, replace it immediately to avoid large sparks during startup that can damage circuits. Installation tip: First turn off the engine, loosen the nuts in the correct sequence to prevent static short circuits. Related knowledge: Battery types include AGM or EFB - the 730 mostly uses standard lead-acid, but upgrading to AGM can better handle frequent start-stop cycles. Common issues like terminal corrosion - I've encountered several owners with short battery life, mostly due to loose connections or frequent use. I recommend cleaning the terminals every six months.

With decades of experience in cars, the main battery model used in the Baojun 730 is 6-QW-60. This brand of battery isn't expensive, costing around three to four hundred yuan per unit, with moderate capacity ensuring smooth starts. When the battery ages, symptoms like delayed ignition or dim dashboard lights appear, requiring timely checks. When choosing a brand, don't just look at the price; original equipment manufacturer (OEM) matching ensures better quality. For maintenance, keep the environment clean and dry, and prevent electrode dust accumulation or leakage. Relevant experience: Stable battery voltage benefits the vehicle's overall power supply, especially for models with many electronic devices.

What are the requirements for new drivers on the highway?

When driving on the highway, a passenger with at least three years of driving experience must accompany the new driver in the front seat. Here are some relevant tips: 1. Speed: You don't need to drive too fast, but try to maintain a steady speed. On roads with a speed limit of 100, you can keep your speed between 80-90, as this range is more manageable for new drivers. On roads with a speed limit of 120, maintain a speed of 90-100, as these roads usually have better conditions. Stay in the middle lane and try to drive at a constant speed. 2. Following too closely: New drivers may not react well to emergencies or handle them effectively, so it's safer to keep a distance of about 200 meters from the vehicle in front. Additionally, avoid following large vehicles, as they can obstruct your view of the road ahead.

What are the speed limits for two-lane and three-lane highways?

Highways with two lanes and three lanes have different speed limits for each lane, as detailed below: Two-lane speed limits: For highways with two lanes in the same direction, the speed limit for the right lane is 60 to 100 kilometers per hour, while the left lane is 100 to 120 kilometers per hour. Three-lane speed limits: For highways with three lanes in the same direction, the speed limit for the right lane is 60 to 90 kilometers per hour, the middle lane is 90 to 110 kilometers per hour, and the left lane is 110 to 120 kilometers per hour. According to Article 78 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," highways must indicate the speed limits for each lane. The maximum speed must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed must not be lower than 60 kilometers per hour. Article 67 states that pedestrians, non-motor vehicles, tractors, wheeled special machinery vehicles, articulated buses, full trailers, and other motor vehicles with a design speed of less than 70 kilometers per hour are prohibited from entering highways. The maximum speed limit indicated on highway speed limit signs must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour. When driving on a highway, if a vehicle exceeds the speed limit by less than 20%, the driver will not be penalized with demerit points. If the vehicle exceeds the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50%, the driver will be penalized with 6 demerit points. If the vehicle exceeds the speed limit by more than 50%, the driver will be penalized with 12 demerit points.
