Introduction to the reasons why a battery cannot be charged: 1. The battery is fully charged: A battery in a fully charged state will naturally not accept further charging. 2. Sulfation of the battery's negative plates: This occurs because standard constant-voltage chargers, due to their design settings, may not fully charge the battery. Even if the battery can be charged or discharged during use, insufficient charging will gradually reduce its capacity and shorten its lifespan. 3. Lack of electrolyte: If the electrolyte has dried up, first add distilled water. After adding enough, do not immediately replace the battery's filler cap. Connect a 220V/200W ordinary incandescent bulb in series with the battery (regardless of polarity) to a 220V AC power source at home and observe whether the bulb lights up normally. If it does, continue supplying power for about 1 minute before disconnecting. Wait a few minutes and then reconnect for another minute, repeating this process 3-5 times. Afterward, connect the battery to a charger for a normal 15-hour charging cycle.

Why Does Fuel Consumption Increase When Braking?

When the speed of the vehicle changes, accelerating from low to high speed by pressing the accelerator pedal hard will lead to an increase in fuel consumption. Here are the related explanations: 1. From stationary to acceleration: A car requires a significant amount of energy to accelerate from a standstill, which essentially means burning more gasoline. This is especially more wasteful for automatic transmission cars because the automatic transmission has a reaction process, making power delivery slower. Compared to manual cars, achieving the same speed consumes more gasoline. 2. Air resistance: Air resistance is proportional to the square of the speed. This means that when the speed increases from 40 km/h to 80 km/h, air resistance increases accordingly, leading to higher fuel consumption.

Why Does a Manual Transmission Stall at Low Idle Speed?

Stalling at low idle speed during startup is caused by insufficient driving skills or the use of substandard fuel. Below are some common reasons for stalling during startup: 1. Fuel tank: The fuel tank may be empty, or the battery voltage might be too low, preventing the starter motor from functioning or reaching the required starting speed. A faulty idle speed control valve, characterized by immediate stalling if no throttle is applied after starting. Clogged fuel lines. 2. Vehicle faults: Malfunctions in the vehicle's control system, though rare, cannot be ruled out. Blockages in the intake system, possibly due to foreign objects—check the pipeline from the air intake, air filter to the throttle body. 3. Fuel consumption impact: Repeatedly stalling and restarting the engine in a short period can affect fuel consumption. Frequent stalling during startup may shorten the engine's lifespan.
