What to Do When the Car Battery Dies and the Car Won't Start

[VanOmar]

You can use the following emergency methods: push-starting the car, jump-starting with another car's battery, or using a portable emergency power bank to charge and start the car. Here is some relevant information about car batteries: 1. Working Principle: The battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Maintenance Methods: Avoid storing the battery in a discharged state. A discharged state occurs when the battery is not recharged promptly after use, leading to sulfation. Lead sulfate crystals form on the plates, blocking ion channels and resulting in insufficient charging and reduced battery capacity. The longer the battery remains idle in a discharged state, the more severe the damage. When the battery is not in use, it should be charged once a month to extend its lifespan.
