It is not normal for a brand-new car to have a dead battery. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Reasons: Since a new car should not have any issues, a dead battery in a new car is abnormal. Apart from the battery itself, it could also be due to human factors after purchase. The most common issue is frequently using electrical devices in the car, such as the radio or dome light, while the engine is off, leading to a drained battery. Additionally, unauthorized installation of high-power electrical appliances or forgetting to turn off the headlights after using the car at night can also cause the battery to drain. 2. Actions: During long-term parking of the car, it is recommended to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to cut off power. It is best to start the vehicle once a week and let the engine idle for about 15 minutes to recharge the battery. If the battery is dead and the car cannot start, you can use jumper cables to charge the battery. The specific steps are as follows: To jump-start a car battery, you need a rescue vehicle. After finding the rescue vehicle, park the two cars facing each other. Prepare two charging cables, open the hood, and connect the positive and negative terminals of both car batteries with the charging cables.
