What does it mean when the car displays a battery indicator?

[KiaraRose]

It is normal for the light to stay on if the engine is not started. However, if it remains on after starting, consider possible alternator failure or wiring issues. Below is an introduction to car battery maintenance: 1. Turn off lights before shutting down the engine: Manually turning off the headlights and interior reading lights before shutting down the engine can prevent battery drain. 2. Turn off the air conditioning and audio system before shutting down the engine: The air conditioning system involves the compressor and blower, while the audio system is also a high-power electrical device. If not turned off before shutting down, they will automatically start the next time the car is turned on, placing a heavy burden on the battery and potentially causing damage. 3. Avoid leaving the car parked for extended periods: The battery installed in the car will self-discharge over time when left unused. Therefore, it is best to drive the car at least once a week to allow the battery to recharge while driving.
