What to Do When Your Car Runs Out of Battery at a Highway Service Area?
1 Answers
Seek assistance from passing vehicles to jump-start your car using another vehicle's battery, but pay attention to the correct connection method: positive to positive and negative to negative; contact your car insurance provider for roadside assistance, or seek help from the 4S shop, which also offers rescue services; you can also call the highway emergency number 12122. Analysis of car battery failure: 1. Insufficient battery electrolyte: During use, the electrolyte in a car battery naturally evaporates and depletes. The electrolyte level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. Insufficient electrolyte naturally leads to inadequate battery charge. 2. Corroded battery terminals: Poor contact due to corroded battery terminals can cause the car battery to lose power. 3. Blown fuse: A blown generator fuse can prevent the car battery from charging, leading to a dead battery. The generator fault indicator light will illuminate as a sign of this issue. 4. Battery lifespan reached: Most private cars now use maintenance-free batteries. Check the battery eye—green indicates normal status; black means low voltage and insufficient charge, which can be resolved by charging; white indicates the battery has reached the end of its lifespan. 5. Long-term parking: Even when the car is idle, the battery discharges on its own due to its inherent discharge characteristics, even when not in use.
