2 Answers
Foton Tunland battery is located in a black box with positive and negative terminals next to the engine, which can be seen by opening the hood. Car battery maintenance methods: Regularly clean the battery; avoid using electrical equipment when the engine is off; replace the battery periodically; start the car regularly. Functions of the battery: When starting the engine, the battery supplies power to the starting system, ignition system, and electronic fuel injection system; When the engine is stopped or at low idle, it powers the car's electrical equipment; When the generator's output is insufficient, it can assist in powering the electrical equipment; It mitigates voltage surges in the electrical system and protects the car's electronic devices. Reasons for a dead battery: The Foton Tunland battery model is 55D-23L, generally equipped with a factory-installed Sail battery, which has a high safety factor. When the battery is dead, it is usually due to the battery being too old and reaching the end of its lifespan, at which point its charge retention capacity is significantly reduced; another reason is the vehicle being left unused for a long time, leading to natural discharge and power loss; another situation is forgetting to turn off electrical equipment or the vehicle having a power leak, resulting in power loss.
I've been driving the Foton Tunland for several years, and the battery location is relatively easy to find. It's generally inside the engine compartment—just pop the hood, and you'll spot it mainly near the driver's side corner. The placement is quite convenient because routine maintenance, like charging or jump-starting, is hassle-free. If you're not familiar with the vehicle, I recommend checking the user manual first, as it has clear diagrams. Alternatively, just open the hood and look for the red positive terminal cover—it’s marked on the battery and hard to miss. The battery is essentially the heart of the car, so timely checks to avoid unexpected power loss are crucial for driving safety. Once, during a business trip, my battery failed, but thanks to its obvious location, I quickly replaced it, saving a lot of trouble. The design prioritizes accessibility, so while the location is fixed, it’s not absolute—minor variations exist across different years and models. If you run into issues, don’t hesitate to visit a repair shop.
