What to do when the battery of Hongqi H5 is too low?

When the battery of Hongqi H5 is too low, it needs to be charged. The charging methods are as follows: The charging current for constant current charging is selected based on the battery's capacity. Constant current charging is carried out in two stages. In the first stage, the charging current is one-tenth of the battery's rated capacity, while in the second stage, it is one-twentieth of the battery's rated capacity. The Hongqi H5 is a model under the Hongqi brand, with body dimensions of 4945mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1470mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2875mm. In terms of appearance, the Hongqi H5 largely follows the design of the Hongqi B-Concept concept car, featuring an inverted trapezoidal front grille connected to the headlights, with vertical chrome decorative strips embedded inside.
My Hongqi H5 also experienced low battery power, which was quite annoying. First, check the battery lifespan—if it's been used for over three years, it might be aging. I personally measured the voltage: if it's below 12 volts, charge it immediately, like using a home charger overnight. If that doesn’t work, check if the alternator belt is loose or if there’s a battery drain, such as forgetting to turn off interior lights or the dashcam. Remember to visit a professional shop to test for parasitic drain with specialized tools to prevent small issues from escalating. For prevention, I avoid frequent short trips, turn off the AC and audio to save power, and installed a battery monitor for real-time alerts. With these steps, the problem was basically resolved.
