I also saw the official activity of Xcar and signed up immediately, but I didn’t expect to win the lottery. Thanks to the experience provided by Xcar, I once again got the qualification for free experience.
Love car BMW X1 is 2016 deluxe version, with start and stop function; accompany more than 4 years, experienced ups and downs; been to N cities, the current mileage is less than 70, 000 kilometers, usually pay great attention to daily maintenance, maintenance, etc.; specially put a protective film for the car (color-changed ha)
This replacement of the Valta battery, this brand has heard of it in the previous two years; at that time, my other car changed the products of this brand, and it was OK to use it; but I have never understood the history of Valta, so this time I specially checked it on baidu:
Valta, founded in Hagen, Germany in 1887, is one of the world-renowned automotive battery brands, belonging to the world’s leading energy storage solution leader Clarios Collister?, providing a variety of high-quality battery products of various specifications, including AGM batteries, suitable for all types of vehicles. (but the key point is the relationship between “Valta” and “JCI”. After all, I used to be an employee of “JCI”.)
Love car itself with start-stop, so received a call from the business, know that the applicable AGM series, has been pondering this series, but also in-depth understanding: AGM has excellent cycle performance, charging receiving capacity, the ability to work in a low charging state, is the best choice for the start-stop system. When you start and stop, you have to use a specially adapted AGM battery. In addition, AGM can save 5% on fuel consumption. With exclusive PowerFrame double volt sharp grid technology, the cycle life is longer, the engine can still be started at low charge, with excellent starting ability, and the driving experience will be very good.
So there are still some small expectations, according to the appointed time, go to the destination; the time is scheduled for Saturday
Facing the rising sun: the road condition from Tongzhou to Wufang Tianya in the morning is still OK.

After arriving at the destination, I found that it was less than 8 o’clock, and the market did not open until 8 o’clock, waiting at the door:

Arrived at the door of the store, because my reason is a long time ahead of the appointed time, can only wait aimlessly:
(there is the golden logo of our XCAR)

Understanding and inspection before replacement: (however, X1 is a bit difficult to do, be sure to know the location of the battery in your car; mine is in the front)

Get ready to change, look at the dirt in the engine compartment and ignore it:

The builder is still very meticulous, and all the inspections will be recorded before the replacement; you can feel that the parts, large and small, are somewhat complicated.

Remove the old battery:

Comparison of new and old batteries:

Test the new and old batteries before replacement; the battery life of the original factory is OK.

Prepare for installation after testing:

After the installation, start the vehicle to check whether it is normal; adjust the date and time of the vehicle; wait for more than 10 minutes, confirm that there is no problem, fill in the quality assurance card, the process is to scan the QR code on the battery, fill in the personal information, receive the verification code, download the electronic warranty policy, in this way, the preservation of the warranty policy is very convenient. Special hint, this electronic warranty card must remember to install, Valta AGM battery warranty period is 2 years, within 2 years any quality problems, you can rely on the electronic warranty card, go to the store for a new battery, super power.

At the end of the initial experience, thank you for the activities provided by the Xcar platform and Valta for your meticulous arrangement.
