What to Do When the Car Battery Runs Out of Power?

[DelIsabelle]

You can use the jump-start method to solve the problem, or you can try the push-start method. There are three maintenance methods for car batteries: 1. Clean the exterior: Use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the battery, removing dust, oil stains, and white powder from the panel and terminals that may cause leakage. Regular cleaning prevents the accumulation of white acidic corrosion powder on the terminals and extends the battery's lifespan. 2. Check the water level: Open the battery's water-filling cap and check if the water level is within the normal range. If the level is below the lower mark, you must add distilled water. Filtered tap water can be used in emergencies, but do not overfill—the standard is to fill to the midpoint between the upper and lower marks. 3. Check the battery charging status: If using a multimeter, measure the voltage after starting the engine. It should exceed 13V to be considered normal. If the charging voltage is too low, consult a professional to inspect the charging system.
