Does a New Dry Battery Need to Be Charged?
1 Answers
Car new batteries need to be charged. New batteries come with some charge from the factory, but it's usually not full. Battery Protection: Daily car maintenance is essential. Even if the car is not driven for a long time, it's important to occasionally start the engine to allow it to run and charge the battery, preventing it from being in a discharged state and thus protecting the battery from damage. Vehicle Electrical Habits: It's important to develop good electrical habits in daily car use. For example, avoid using the radio loudly, charging your phone, or using a pump when the engine is off. Over time, these habits can lead to battery discharge and shorten the battery's lifespan.
