2 Answers
The solutions for a dead battery in an automatic transmission car are: 1. Recharge the battery; 2. Find a nearby vehicle to jump-start the car; 3. Call the insurance company for roadside assistance service. The reasons for a car battery dying are: 1. The car battery is completely drained; 2. Insufficient battery electrolyte; 3. Internal faults causing battery damage. The functions of the battery are: 1. To power the engine starting system, ignition system, electronic fuel injection system, and other electrical systems in the car; 2. To supply power to the car's electrical devices when the engine is off or idling at low speed; 3. To assist in power supply when the electrical demand exceeds the generator's capacity; 4. To act as a voltage stabilizer for the car's electrical system, mitigating voltage spikes and protecting electronic devices in the car; 5. To store excess electricity generated by the alternator when the engine is running.
Last time I went out for a drive, my car battery suddenly died, leaving my automatic transmission vehicle completely immobilized. I was really panicked. Fortunately, I always keep jumper cables in my car. I called a friend to come help by driving his car over - making sure to park it nearby but not too close to avoid contact. First, I turned off his engine, then located both car batteries and clearly identified the positive and negative terminals. I connected the red cable positive-to-positive, then attached the black cable first to his negative terminal and then to a metal part of my car body or engine bracket (avoiding my negative terminal to prevent sparks). After starting his car, I waited a few minutes before attempting to start mine - it fired right up. I let it idle for several dozen minutes to recharge. Later, I specifically went to a repair shop to have the battery checked, only to find it had reached the end of its lifespan and needed replacement. This method is safe and effective - if you encounter this situation in the future, stay calm and handle it methodically without panicking.
