What to Do When a Chery Car's Battery Dies?
2 Answers
In the event of a sudden battery failure, you should contact a rescue vehicle to connect jumper cables and temporarily charge the battery to start the engine. Do not confuse the jumper cable sequence: connect the positive terminal of the faulty car's battery to the positive terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery, then connect the negative terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery to the engine of the faulty car. Start the rescue vehicle's engine and increase the engine speed. After about 5 minutes, perform an emergency charge to the dead battery. Once completed, disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse order. If no tools are available, you can use the push-start method. Ensure there is some residual power in the battery; this method is only applicable to manual transmission models. Shift the manual transmission car into a medium-speed gear.
Last time my Chery car battery died, I think this is quite common, don’t panic first. Check if the car door can still be opened? If yes, open the hood and see if the battery cables are loose or corroded. I always keep a jumper cable in the car, find a kind-hearted person or a friend’s car to jump-start it, remember to connect positive to positive, and negative to the metal part of the other car’s engine. After that, start the engine and let it run for 10 minutes to charge. If it really doesn’t work, call roadside assistance, they can handle it on-site. This kind of problem might be due to battery aging or leakage. I usually make sure to turn off the audio and lights before parking, and check the battery fluid level regularly to prevent it from happening again.
