Why Does a Car Battery Suddenly Die in Winter?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons why a car battery suddenly dies: 1. The car has been parked for a long time, causing the battery to lose power. Even when the car is idle, the battery will discharge due to its self-discharge characteristics, even if it is not in use. 2. The battery has reached the end of its lifespan. Observe the color inside: green indicates the battery is normal, while black indicates low voltage and insufficient charge, which can be resolved by charging. 3. Engine damage. This can occur if the car's alternator belt is loose or broken, preventing the alternator from functioning. 4. 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 will naturally lead to inadequate battery charge. 5. A blown fuse, causing the battery to lose power. If the car's alternator fuse blows, the battery cannot charge, leading to a dead battery. A sign of this issue is the alternator fault indicator light turning on. 6. Corrosion of the battery terminals. Poor contact due to corroded battery terminals can result in the car battery losing power.
