Why Can't a New Car Battery Be Charged?
2 Answers
Reasons why a new car battery cannot be charged: battery dehydration, sulfation of battery plates, blown fuse in the battery fuse tube, poor contact between the battery fuse tube and fuse holder, etc. Here are some details about car batteries: 1. Function: The car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that plays a crucial role in the operation of a vehicle. If the car battery fails to supply power normally, the engine will encounter issues. Car owners should regularly inspect the battery—weekly in summer and biweekly in winter. 2. Factors affecting battery lifespan: vehicle condition, road conditions, and driving habits. Good driving habits can extend the battery's service life.
Last month I just bought a new battery, but after installing it in the car, I found it absolutely refused to charge, which was really frustrating. It might be a problem with the charger, like the charger plug not being securely connected or the charger itself being burnt out. I solved it by switching to a spare charger. Sometimes it could also be an issue with the new battery itself, like poor factory inspection causing internal battery plate short circuits, or excessive discharge making it unable to charge. Additionally, if the wire connection points are corroded, the current can't pass through, which also prevents charging. Later, I checked the wires and plugs myself, cleaned the connectors with a cloth, and that fixed it. I suggest trying a different charger first; if that doesn’t work, go to an auto repair shop immediately—don’t wait until the car won’t start. Regular battery maintenance checks can avoid these troubles. A new battery should be hassle-free, so address any issues early.
