What does vehicle battery discharge mean?
1 Answers
Vehicle battery discharge refers to when the battery level drops below a certain point, the control system will actively charge the battery to ensure the level does not fall below this point. Causes of vehicle battery discharge: It occurs when a car remains inactive for an extended period, and the high power consumption during startup leads to battery discharge. Temperature factors also contribute, as low temperatures significantly reduce battery performance. In winter, as temperatures drop further, battery performance declines even more, resulting in situations where the battery is too discharged to start the engine. Battery maintenance precautions: Avoid parking the car in open parking lots for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent freezing damage. Start the car periodically to charge the battery. Regularly inspect and clean the battery terminals, applying special grease to protect the wiring harness. Minimize the use of car electronics after the engine is turned off, as using the battery alone without the engine generating power will increase power consumption.
