What to Do When the Battery of Changan CS35 Runs Out of Power?
3 Answers
If the battery of Changan CS35 runs out of power, you can follow these steps: 1. For manual transmission vehicles, you can use the towing start method. This requires another vehicle to assist. After securely fastening the tow rope, both drivers should communicate well, start slowly, and pay attention to traffic conditions. The driver of the towed vehicle should shift to 1st gear, and the vehicle can be started smoothly by rotating the crankshaft through the towed wheels or by pushing the vehicle. 2. For automatic transmission vehicles or those that cannot use the towing start method, you can ask relatives or friends to bring a battery jumper cable. Align the front of both vehicles, open the hoods, and connect the positive terminals to positive and negative to negative with the jumper cable to start the vehicle smoothly. 3. If no vehicle is available for a jump start or if there is no jumper cable, you can request assistance from a repair service or your insurance company. 4. You can also prepare an emergency jump starter, which can be used to start the vehicle in case of a dead battery.
I remember one time when I was driving to the supermarket, the battery of my Changan CS35 suddenly died, and the car wouldn't start. I was completely caught off guard. I quickly rummaged through the trunk for jumper cables, and luckily, a friend's car was parked nearby. I asked him to help jump-start my car: first connecting the positive terminal of his car to mine, then the negative terminal to his car's negative terminal or an unpainted metal part of the engine. After starting the car, I drove straight to the repair shop without turning off the engine to get it checked, and it turned out the battery had aged and needed replacement. Usually, I check the battery's age every six months. The Changan CS35 typically uses a 60Ah 12V battery, and I replace it if it's over 3 years old to prevent such issues. If you don't have jumper cables, I recommend buying a portable jump starter to keep in the car—it can be a lifesaver in critical moments.
My car has been running for a few years, and I've encountered a dead battery twice. The first reaction is not to panic, find a safe place to park and turn on the hazard lights. Then check if there are jump-start tools; if not, contacting roadside assistance is the most hassle-free option. Nowadays, you can use an insurance app to call for help with one click, and it's done in about 20 minutes. After that, it's essential to check the battery voltage to see if it's below 12V or if there's a charging system fault. In the long run, the Changan CS35 has many electronic devices, so avoid frequently using the car charger after turning off the engine. I make it a habit to check the battery fluid level every three months, and for wet batteries, adding some distilled water can extend their lifespan.
