Why is the car battery light flashing?
1 Answers
Generally, when the car battery light is on, it indicates a fault in the vehicle's charging system, possibly due to internal damage to the alternator, resulting in insufficient power generation. Here are the relevant details: 1. Battery: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'car battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which mainly uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Precautions: Like all batteries, if not charged, the car's 12-volt battery will eventually run out of power. Therefore, cars are equipped with a built-in charging system. Most vehicles have an alternator and voltage regulator to charge the battery and power the car while the engine is running.
