How to Extend the Lifespan of a Car Battery?
1 Answers
Do not use electrical devices for extended periods after turning off the engine. When the battery is used without charging, it enters a "dry consumption" state, which can reduce its capacity and potentially prevent the vehicle from starting. Excessive discharge can cause significant damage to the car battery itself. After turning off the engine, make sure to turn off the lights and unplug any external devices. With the increasing number of external devices in cars, additional electrical equipment adds to the battery's burden. Before turning off the engine, shut down the multimedia and air conditioning systems. If these systems are not turned off, they will automatically activate the next time the vehicle starts, creating an excessive instantaneous power load. Particularly, if the air conditioner is left on, it can lead to prolonged battery drain. Avoid prolonged or frequent ignition attempts. When starting the engine, do not exceed 3 seconds of ignition time. If the engine fails to start, avoid frequent or repeated ignition attempts. Wait for at least 15 seconds before trying again. The above are the methods introduced on how to extend the lifespan of a car battery.
