How to Use a Newly Replaced Car Battery?
1 Answers
A new battery often does not reach its full capacity after the first charge, so a discharge cycle should be performed. Below are specific usage methods for car batteries: 1. Develop good in-car electricity habits. Maintain the vehicle battery by avoiding actions like listening to the radio loudly, charging mobile phones, or using air pumps when the engine is off. Over time, these can drain the battery, and frequent discharges significantly reduce its lifespan. 2. Regularly drive long distances at high speeds. This has many benefits, such as clearing carbon deposits from the vehicle and fully charging the battery. Generally, driving on the highway for more than an hour can fully charge the battery, keeping it in optimal condition. 3. Avoid leaving the car unused for extended periods. If the car is not used for a long time, disconnect the battery cables or start the vehicle every two weeks and drive it for several dozen kilometers to ensure the battery remains functional. 4. Be cautious not to connect high-power appliances directly to the battery. Many car appliances, such as car refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, or air pumps, have high instantaneous power. Do not power them directly from the car battery. Instead, start the vehicle first and then connect the electrical devices.
