What to Do When the Car Won't Start Due to No Power?

[DiEmmett]

The solution to a car not starting due to no power is to perform a jump-start or replace the battery if it's dead. If the battery is undercharged or leaking, it should be replaced; otherwise, it may lead to the vehicle failing to start and a loss of power to onboard loads. Here are some relevant details about the battery: 1. When the ammeter indicates insufficient charge, recharge promptly. If you find the battery low while on the road and the engine won't start, as a temporary measure, you can seek help from another vehicle to jump-start your car by connecting the negative terminals and positive terminals of both batteries; 2. If the electrolyte level is low, replenish it with distilled water or a specialized replenishing fluid. Never use drinking water as a substitute, as it contains various trace elements that can adversely affect the battery; 3. Continuously cranking the engine can damage the battery due to excessive discharge. The correct method is to limit each starting attempt to no more than 5 seconds, with intervals of at least 15 seconds between attempts.
