Can a Car Battery Still Be Used After Being Drained Three Times?
1 Answers
One or two instances of battery drainage have minimal impact on the battery. However, frequent deep discharges over time can significantly affect the battery's lifespan. Generally, a car battery can last about three years under normal use. As usage time increases, the performance of the car battery will decline, so regular inspection and maintenance are necessary during daily use to avoid battery drainage. Below is additional information on the effects of battery drainage: 1. Car battery drainage can lead to battery sulfation. Severe drainage may even render the battery unusable. 2. Battery drainage, or deep discharge, occurs when the voltage drops below 10.50V, causing sulfuric acid and lead plates to form lead sulfate. If not charged promptly, the lead sulfate will crystallize. Prolonged crystallization makes it difficult to decompose even after recharging. 3. After a car battery is drained, it should be charged immediately using a battery charger. If a regular charger fails to charge the battery, a repair device with high-resistance repair must be used to raise the voltage above 10V for successful charging.
