1 Answers
Manual transmission cars can be push-started if the battery is dead. The method is as follows: 1. Turn on the ignition switch, shift into second or third gear, press the clutch, release the handbrake, and start pushing the car. When the vehicle speed reaches 5 kilometers per hour, release the clutch, and maintain an idle speed of 2000 RPM to charge the battery. The battery is composed of plate groups, separators, electrolyte, casing, terminals, connecting strips, and filler cap. The working principle of the battery is to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Battery maintenance methods include: 1. Avoid parking the car in an open parking lot for extended periods; 2. Avoid multiple uninterrupted starts in winter; 3. Charge the car battery frequently; 4. Regularly clean the battery terminals and apply grease to protect the wiring harness.
