What to Do If You Don't Drive Your Car Often?

[DeSara]

If a car remains unused for an extended period, its battery will gradually lose charge and may be completely depleted within 4-6 months. If possible, have family members periodically charge the car battery, starting the vehicle every 1-2 weeks and letting it run for 5-10 minutes. Relevant information about car batteries is as follows: 1. Introduction: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term "battery" refers to a lead-acid battery, which is mainly composed of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution serving as the electrolyte. 2. Working Principle: It uses lead plates filled with sponge-like lead as the negative electrode, lead plates filled with lead dioxide as the positive electrode, and a 22-28% dilute sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. During charging, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy, while during discharging, chemical energy is converted back into electrical energy.
