1 Answers
After a car battery runs out of power, driving for one to two hours can restore its original function. If the car battery is severely depleted and the engine cannot start, a jump-start is required, followed by normal driving for a certain distance to restore the battery. Below are the symptoms of a depleted car battery and methods to extend its lifespan: Symptoms of a Depleted Car Battery: When starting the car, the starter motor is weak or makes unusual noises; the dashboard lights dim or go out; the headlights are dim; the horn sounds weak or does not sound at all; the battery warning light on the dashboard illuminates. Methods to Extend Battery Lifespan: Apply a lubricating and anti-rust spray to the battery terminals to prevent rust and oxidation. Avoid turning on or continuing to use car electronics after the engine is turned off. If the vehicle is parked for an extended period, start the car and drive it for a while every week, or disconnect the negative terminal of the battery when parked to prevent complete discharge.
