When an electric vehicle shows a green light while charging after being left unused for a long time, it is usually because the battery has been inactive for an extended period, leading to dehydration and sulfation, which necessitates battery replacement. To avoid long-term power loss, which can cause plate sulfation, it is important to take precautions. In low-temperature conditions, charging issues primarily include poor charging acceptance and insufficient charging, resulting in battery power loss. During cold weather, insulation and anti-freezing measures should be implemented, especially by placing the vehicle in a warm environment while charging. This helps ensure full charging, prevents irreversible sulfation, and extends the battery's lifespan. It is crucial to avoid storing the electric vehicle's battery in a discharged state, which means the battery was not recharged promptly after use. Storing the battery in a discharged state can easily lead to sulfation, where lead sulfate crystals form on the plates, blocking ion channels and causing insufficient charging, ultimately reducing the battery's capacity.

Where is the throttle body located?

The throttle body of a car is located behind the air filter in the intake system and in front of the intake manifold. Here are specific details about the throttle body: 1. The throttle body is the throat of the engine, controlling the amount of air entering the engine. When the driver presses the accelerator pedal, it doesn't directly control fuel injection but rather adjusts the opening of the throttle body. 2. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates air entry into the engine. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture for combustion and power generation. It connects to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom.

How to Bleed the Brake System After Adding Brake Fluid?

The steps for bleeding the brake system after adding brake fluid are as follows: 1. The bleeding operation requires two people to cooperate. After replacing or topping up the brake fluid, the air in the hydraulic lines should be bled. 2. One person sits in the driver's seat and repeatedly presses the brake pedal to raise its position, then holds the pedal steady without releasing it. Meanwhile, another person underneath the vehicle loosens the bleeder valve to allow air and brake fluid to escape from the lines. When the pedal position drops, immediately tighten the bleeder valve. 3. Repeat this process several times until no air bubbles are seen escaping from the plastic tube. Tighten the bleeder valve and reinstall the dust cap. Follow the above method to bleed the other wheel cylinders in sequence. During the bleeding process, continuously check and top up the brake fluid until all air is completely expelled. Then, add an adequate amount of the specified type of brake fluid to the reservoir.
