Why does the car still not start after replacing the battery?
1 Answers
If a car with a newly replaced battery still fails to start, it could be due to a discharge fault in the vehicle's electrical circuit or poor battery charging. 1. If charging appears normal but the new battery loses power within a few days, there might be a self-discharge issue in the circuit, which should be checked with a multimeter. 2. If the battery regains charge after running the engine for a while, the charging system is likely functioning, but the rectifier might be damaged. 3. The battery, also known as an accumulator, plays a crucial role in starting the vehicle. If the battery is undercharged or dead, the car won't start. Therefore, battery maintenance should not be overlooked during routine vehicle care. 4. The primary functions of the battery are to store and discharge electricity, providing sufficient power for starting the car. When the battery malfunctions, the vehicle cannot start in cold conditions, and the electricity generated by the alternator during driving cannot be stored, potentially leading to symptoms like stalling in severe cases.
