How many days can a new car battery sit without starting before it dies?
1 Answers
A new car battery will die if it sits without starting for more than three months. Battery discharge: Usually, if a car is not started for half a month, the battery still has power, but the voltage has dropped, making it difficult to start. If the vehicle is parked for more than three months, the battery will be almost completely drained. Note that the rate of power consumption is somewhat related to the manufacturing process of the battery. Generally, a new battery lasts longer, while an old battery discharges faster. Precautions: Normally, a car battery should be replaced after about 3 years of use. Most modern cars are equipped with maintenance-free batteries, which have a clean appearance and are easy to inspect. These batteries have an inspection window that shows green under normal conditions. If the color is not green (colors vary by manufacturer), it indicates the battery has reached the end of its life and should be replaced promptly.
