Basics Of Car Battery

Posted by Jo in Cars (December 22, 2007 at 2:30 am)

 What makes your car function? It’s the car battery. Car battery is an electrochemical device that changes the chemical energy stored in the battery into electrical energy, starting the car engine and allow car’s accessories such as lights, car radio and air-con to function. When the ignition is switched on the battery will convert the chemical energy stored in the battery to electricity by passing through the wires that are connected to the car parts that needs energy.

 Car battery may come in different shapes and sizes but all of them are rechargeable and functions to give power to the automobile. Car battery can come to a stage of discharge that is why it is rechargeable. Discharge stage may occur when headlights, air-con and other car accessories are accidentally left on. When in discharge stage, one simply needs to recharge it by bringing it to battery tender or charge it through simply turning on the ignition but it will not completely recharge the battery with the energy it needs, it will be just enough to supplement lost energy. A car battery that is well maintained may serve up to 3 years or so and needs changing after that. If you want your battery to last, take care of it well.

Grey And Parallel Import Cars

Posted by Jo in Cars,Used Cars ( at 2:18 am)

Buying car from abroad or importing a car is getting popular nowadays. It is another option for car buyers who normally have the choices of buying cars from car dealers and car auctions. Many people do consider importing a car to get better value for their money.  There are only two kinds of import cars; the grey and parallel import cars. If you import a car that has UK a specification that is called parallel imports. When you import a car that has no UK specifications; which means that the car is only available in its origin country that is a grey import. 

Many grey import cars are those Japan cars that do not have UK spec, many prefer to buy Japan cars because they come in great specifications but its insurance can cost more and may need some extra work to follow the UK legislation.  Its parts and supplies are hard to find too and they do not have manufacturer’s warranty.  But if you want to have a different car that only you will have you’ll go for grey import cars.

Though there are many grey imports, many choose to get the parallel imports because they are easier to find. One does not have to patch with things in the car because it is already UK specs so there are no more worries about it. Plus it usually still has manufacturer’s warranty. Whatever kind of import cars we choose to buy, it is important to really compare because you might just be able to save a little to make it comply with your country’s specification.
