What to Do When a Car Battery Dies After Long-Term Parking?

[Cook]

Solutions for a dead car battery after long-term parking: 1. Replace the battery; 2. If the battery is not damaged, connect it to a charged battery to start the car, and driving for a while can recharge it; 3. For manual transmission vehicles, push-starting or towing can be used to start the engine, but this method is not suitable for vehicles with automatic transmissions and catalytic converters, as it cannot transfer power to the engine and may damage the catalytic converter; 4. Towing to start, which is less labor-intensive than push-starting. Secure a sturdy tow rope between the two vehicles, then begin towing slowly, ensuring the speed of both vehicles and paying attention to safety. Once the towed vehicle starts, promptly notify the towing vehicle and slowly pull over to the roadside.
