What are the symptoms of poor car battery contact?

Poor contact in a car battery can lead to unstable idling, damage to the battery, and may also cause harm to the generator. Here are some tips for car battery maintenance: 1. Electrolyte level: Always keep it between max and min. Check monthly and add distilled water (pure water) as needed based on the level reduction. Never add acid. 2. Insufficient voltage: When the battery voltage is low and the lights are dim or the engine struggles to start, perform an external charge immediately. 3. Avoid overcharging or prolonged power loss: Overcharging can cause active material to fall off, while power loss can lead to plate sulfation. Ensure the regulator voltage is neither too high nor too low. 4. Regularly check if the vent hole is clear: To prevent battery deformation or explosion. 5. Keep the battery away from heat sources and open flames: Ensure proper ventilation when using a charger to avoid burns or injuries.
