What are the reasons why the Peugeot 307 cannot start?
1 Answers
Peugeot 307's failure to start is largely due to corrosion at the battery terminal positions, caused by electrolyte leakage. When corrosion occurs at the battery terminals, the recommended method is to remove the terminal head, spray clean the lead terminal head and wire connectors with an alkaline cleaning agent, wipe them clean, apply a thin layer of butter or Vaseline oil, and finally tighten the wire connectors on the terminal head with a wrench. Batteries are divided into conventional batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries. Conventional Batteries: The plates of conventional batteries are made of lead and lead oxide, with the electrolyte being a sulfuric acid solution. Their main advantages are stable voltage and low cost; the disadvantages are low specific energy (the amount of electrical energy stored per kilogram of battery), short service life, and frequent daily maintenance. Dry-Charged Batteries: The full name of a car battery is dry-charged lead-acid battery. Its main feature is that the negative plate has a high storage capacity. In a completely dry state, it can preserve the obtained charge for two years. When in use, you only need to add the electrolyte and wait 20-30 minutes before it can be used. Maintenance-Free Batteries: Due to their structural advantages, maintenance-free batteries consume very little electrolyte and basically do not require the addition of distilled water during their service life. They also have the characteristics of being shock-resistant, high-temperature resistant, compact, and having low self-discharge. Their service life is generally twice that of conventional batteries. There are two types of maintenance-free batteries on the market: the first type is filled with electrolyte once at the time of purchase and does not require maintenance (adding supplementary fluid) during use; the other type comes pre-filled with electrolyte and sealed from the factory, making it impossible for users to add supplementary fluid.
