What to Do When the Envision Runs Out of Power?
2 Answers
The Envision requires waiting for assistance from a 4S shop when it runs out of power because its battery is not a regular one but a specialized AGM battery for start-stop systems, which has a different charging method and cannot be charged independently. Taking the Envision 2021 2WD Leading Edition as an example, it is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV under SAIC-GM Buick, with body dimensions of 4694mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1686mm in height, a wheelbase of 2750mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters. The Envision 2021 2WD Leading Edition is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169 PS and a maximum power of 124 kW.
I remember driving the Enclave for a few years when one winter was so cold that the car completely lost power and wouldn't start at all. That time, I first checked if the door lights were left on by accident. After confirming they weren't, I went to ask a neighbor for help with a jump start. We connected jumper cables to his car's battery, started the engine, and let it run for a few minutes to charge. If you don't have the tools or aren't comfortable doing it yourself, you can just call your insurance company or roadside assistance—they usually arrive within 20 minutes. Afterward, I took it to the 4S shop for a check-up, and they found the battery had aged. They recommended replacing it before winter, so now I regularly use a multimeter to check the voltage and keep it healthy. Prevention is better than cure—always remember to turn off the AC or stereo after parking to avoid draining the battery.
