If a car is not driven for a month, the battery will not run out, but it is still recommended to disconnect the positive and negative terminals of the battery (to avoid natural power consumption of the car battery). For cars in poorer condition, the battery may already be depleted in about a week. As long as you drive normally for one to two hours, the battery can be restored to its normal power level. If the situation is severe to the point where the engine cannot be started, a jump start is needed to activate the generator. A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The commonly referred-to car battery is a lead-acid battery, which is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with the electrolyte being a sulfuric acid solution.

What brand is the engine of the Volkswagen Lavida?

The engine of the Volkswagen Lavida is domestically produced, manufactured in China through a joint venture with German technology, and designed and developed by Shanghai Volkswagen itself. The engine model used in the Volkswagen Lavida is the EA211-DSB, with a maximum horsepower of 150 HP, a maximum power output of 110 KW, a maximum power speed range of 1750-3000 rpm, and a peak torque of 250 N.m. The vehicle's power performance is relatively smooth and has long been known for its low fuel consumption and low maintenance costs. For the daily maintenance of the Volkswagen Lavida's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, the oil should be changed periodically according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing the oil to bypass through the relief valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging the filter and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What are the new regulations for National IV motorcycles in 2021?

The new policies for National IV motorcycles in 2021 mainly include four aspects of regulations: relaxing the age restrictions for applying for a driver's license; adjusting the annual inspection time for motorcycles between 6-10 years; modifying the inspection procedures for vehicles with 7-9 seats; and making new plans for vehicles not covered by the new policies (vehicles involved in major traffic accidents and modified vehicles will still follow the regulation of annual inspections). Additional details are as follows: 1. Nationwide inspection for motorcycles: Motorcycles registered within 6 years are exempt from on-site inspections, and motorcycle inspections can be conducted nationwide. Motorcycles exempt from inspection within 6 years are also exempt from environmental inspections. For applicants who need inspections in provinces (or autonomous regions/municipalities) other than where the motorcycle is registered, the requirement for an inter-provincial inspection authorization letter is abolished. For those who have already obtained such a letter but have not yet undergone inspection, the new regulations will apply, and no further authorization letter will be required. For motorcycles exempt from inspection within 6 years, the inspection exemption mark can be applied for across different provinces (or autonomous regions/municipalities). 2. Clarification of inspection exemption periods: Vehicles registered after June 1, 2017, can enjoy the policy of three inspection exemptions. Vehicles registered between June 1, 2015, and May 31, 2017, having undergone one inspection, can enjoy two inspection exemptions. Vehicles registered between June 1, 2014, and May 31, 2015, having undergone two inspections, can enjoy one inspection exemption. Vehicles registered before May 31, 2014, will still follow the original regulations, requiring annual inspections. Note: Inspection exemption does not mean no inspection. When the annual inspection is due, motorcycle owners still need to go to the vehicle management office or its service agents to apply for the annual inspection compliance mark.
