The reasons for bad smell inside the car are: 1. New car odor: Chemical substances that have not yet dissipated exist in the interior plastic panels or rubber rings of the vehicle; 2. Air conditioning odor: Bacteria and dirt accumulate when the air conditioning filter is not cleaned for a long time. Precautions to avoid odors: 1. Avoid eating strongly scented food in the car; 2. Do not store odorous items in the car; 3. Use the external circulation mode when running the air conditioner; 4. Remove the plastic protective film inside the car promptly after purchasing a new car. If the smell inside the car is strong, you can use bamboo charcoal bags or grapefruit peels to absorb the odor, and open all the car windows to let the odor dissipate.

What is the normal voltage range for a car battery?

The normal voltage range for a car battery is between 11.8V and 12.8V. A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'car battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which is mainly composed of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The car battery is a crucial component of a vehicle, supplying power to the engine ignition system and other electrical equipment when the engine starts or operates at low speeds. When the engine runs at high speeds, the alternator generates sufficient electricity, and the onboard charger automatically stores excess electrical energy in the car battery.

What are the common charging methods for batteries?

Common charging methods for batteries: 1. Constant current charging method, during the charging process, the charging current remains unchanged, called the constant current charging method, referred to as CC charging method or equal current charging method; 2. Constant voltage charging method, during the charging process, the charging voltage remains unchanged, called the constant voltage charging method, referred to as CV charging method or equal voltage charging method; 3. Constant voltage charging with fixed resistance, that is, a resistor is connected in series between the charging power supply and the battery, so that the current in the early stage of charging can be adjusted. A battery is a device that directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It is a battery designed for rechargeable purposes, and recharging is achieved through reversible chemical reactions.
