What Causes Low Voltage in Car Batteries?
1 Answers
Low voltage in a car battery can be caused by a depleted battery, a faulty car battery, or when the charging rate is less than the discharge rate. Below are some relevant details about battery voltage: 1. How to determine if the battery is fully charged: The charging current will decrease. Additionally, the alternator contains a voltage regulator module that controls the output voltage, with an ideal precise voltage of 14.2V, with a tolerance of ±0.2V. The voltage is typically around 14V but can vary with engine speed. However, due to the alternator regulator, the maximum output voltage is 14V. 2. Battery maintenance methods: When the battery is not in use, it should be charged once a month to extend its lifespan. To prevent damage to the battery, regular inspections are necessary. Avoid instantaneous high-current discharge whenever possible.
