This Guangzhou Auto Fick Free Light, which I bought in March 2016, has been with me for more than 4 years. It is said that Guangzhou Auto Fick Jeep has poor power and many glitches, but why didn’t I encounter it? The power is poor, there is no way, with 1.9 tons of car, 2.0 displacement, old engine, how much horsepower do you think it has? It’s easy and safe to run 120 highways. As for the glitch, I didn’t encounter it at all. Except for changing the tire for 40,000 kilometers, the other is normal maintenance, and I have never been thrown into a nest on the road. The old man is still very reliable. It’s just that I always remember that for more than 4 years, the service life of the battery is approaching.
My lovely old buddy. Up to now more than 4 years, 48000 kilometers, except the tire has been changed, the antifreeze has been changed, all the other original factories. The car is in good condition, low speed costs a little fuel, high speed is very documented. When it’s not open, find a shed and wait for my call at any time. However, I also know that the life of the battery is coming up, so it’s time to clean up the old man. The car is a girlfriend. If you are kind to her, she will return 120% to you.
Eat everywhere with a big mouth? No, just eat 92.
During maintenance, I always ask a technician to check the battery. Be polite and ask the technicians for more advice. they are happy to help. Professional people must be respected.
The test time was August 2018, when the battery life was only 79%. Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Although the strength of the car is not great, after all, as soon as the battery gets old, it can make the car lie down. Well, I maintain it once a year, and I don’t drive much.
I was so lucky to sign up for the ika car network Valta battery trial activity. I was informed by the younger sister of the ika trial commissioner that she was lucky to be shortlisted. Great! So insist on sending a good post, there is always a return.
In the history of human automobile industry, German manufacturing is an unavoidable topic, not to mention Karl Benz’s internal combustion engine and Mercedes-Benz, every necessary battery, one of the most famous brands Valta was born in Germany. As the world’s best-known battery brand, its Valta batteries are carried in a variety of models, including fuel vehicles, new energy and hybrid models. Valta is number one in almost all battery brand rankings.
This guy, it’s okay.
2.0focus 2016 without start and stop
H7 80Ah, belongs to a large battery, and this battery supports start and stop
Open the free light cabin cover and look carefully. this is the battery of the original car. There is no brand mark on it, depending on the parameters, H7 is maintenance-free 80Ah. It belongs to a big battery. At first I thought that my free light was a fortress that had not been captured by the Valta battery, but take a closer look, my dear, it turned out that the original car battery was produced by Zhejiang Johnson Automation. That didn’t run away, it’s still Valta. After checking Baidu, Johnson controls acquired VARTA Walta AG automotive battery division, and in 2019, the parent company of the VARTA Walta brand was officially renamed Clarios Collister. This should be the matching made by Valta for Guanfeike. I don’t post my own brand, but the things are the same. In addition, write down the parameters, which is useful.
Early this morning, I made an appointment with Boss Lin to change the battery. Boss Lin was very enthusiastic and called in advance to confirm that I could go at any time when I received the notice. I just asked him two questions. How long will it take? say about ten minutes. And whether it is changed with electricity or not, say: yes.
Get in the car and start the fire, look at the battery, the old battery is dead, basically no more than 14.
When I got to the store, I lifted the cover of the machine and was ready to change the battery. I just ran 5 kilometers to dissipate the heat. Free light side lines are super beautiful!
Before changing the battery, I asked Boss Lin to help me test the old battery to see what had happened in the past two years.
Sure enough, he is almost “70 years old”, which can be regarded as a longevity.
Dear riders, a little hint, after using the battery for two years, it is suggested that there is nothing wrong with the battery, you can go to change the battery, ask the technician to help test, a few minutes, there is no charge. Of course, every test will tell you to change, you know. Below 60%, you should pay attention to the fact that according to the environment of using cars, those who drive late at night should be careful, and even when it is cold, be careful. Like me, 37%, it’s easy to get into a nest. However, over the past two years, from 79% to 37%, it is considered to be in good maintenance.
Let’s get to work. The technician is very professional. First loosen the positive and negative pole screws, but do not take off the joint, at the same time, loosen the battery fastening buckle screw, remove.
Bring a battery, knock on the electrode and connect it to the positive and negative poles of the car. This is live battery replacement. The advantage of live battery replacement is that the driving computer will not be reset because of the power outage. now the car has more and more electronic devices, from starting to gearing to removing the handbrake and then to starting the throttle. This is why many car batteries will report all kinds of fault codes, engine fault lights, gearbox failures, ESP failures and so on. In such a situation, you might as well check the battery to see if the power supply is insufficient.
There are two kinds of live battery replacement, one is such an external battery, and the other is to start the car on fire and remove the old battery. Obviously, the first kind is better, and the second kind, when the engine is running, operating in the engine cabin, there are relatively big safety risks. It is suggested that the first one is better.
When the positive and negative electrodes are connected, it is tantamount to connecting another power supply to the vehicle’s electronic system, which is connected in parallel with the original battery. When the old battery is removed, the vehicle will not lose power.
This is the new battery. The Valta blue line was tried out. The parameter is H6 of 72A. After following the Valta official account, I took a look at the adaptation. Both H6 and H7 work.
The black one above is old. Valta batteries have black, silver and blue wires.
Take down the old battery and install the new battery for a few seconds.
Fix a new battery
Install positive and negative poles
Fixed positive and negative joint
It’s all fixed.
Remove the external battery and call it a day! It’s that simple, and it’s obvious to see the empty position of the battery in the original car. As soon as I took the picture, the technician turned around and changed the battery for another Toyota Corolla. It’s that fast. It won’t be a problem to change three batteries in ten minutes.
According to the guide, I followed the official account and got the warranty card of this battery. Now they are all electronic warranty cards, which is very convenient.
The information is very detailed, so you don’t have to worry about fakes to fool me.
It was really refreshing to call it a day and get out of here. The new battery is really powerful.
Finally, let’s talk about your personal feelings. If you want the battery to last for a long time and spend less money, it is crucial to use the battery correctly. A battery without a start-stop 500 can cost 800-900 or even thousands if it does. Then the longer the battery is used, the more real money you can save.
On the first day I came back from buying a car, I delayed turning off the headlights, and then set the power off when the engine turned off. In many cars, the default default time delay is for the headlight, and after the shutdown is turned off, the radio, central control large screen, etc. are not cut off immediately. They have to wait a few seconds or open the door and power off at the same time. This means that after the engine turns off, all the bright places are powered by the battery. In the long run, the battery will always be at a loss, which will easily reduce the battery life. These are all vehicle comfort configurations, and the more such comfort configurations, the shorter the battery life.
As for not listening to the radio when the engine turns off, closing the window before turning off, etc., these are all personal habits, so I won’t say much. Some people may say that a car brings convenience to me, of course, how comfortable it should be. This is right. You bought the car with money, and how you use it is all your business. Just, when the car battery hangs up and is lying on the road, don’t easily say that the car or battery is of poor quality. It may be a problem with your usage habits. No matter what, it’s okay. At most, you can change Varta a few more times.
The battery I tried this time is definitely not as good as the original car, but it’s okay. I don’t know whether to change the car first or the battery first. Next time, I should be able to use the silver standard H7.
I wish you all a happy life!
