Will the battery burn out if it is short-circuited?
1 Answers
If the short-circuit time is very short, there is no big problem. However, if it lasts for a long time, the wires may melt, internal high temperatures may cause melting, the plates may deform, the battery may swell and fail, and even cause a fire accident. The following is additional information: Solutions for a burned car battery: Remove the battery, charge it once with a charger, clean the corrosion at the connection points, and reinstall the battery. Use a multimeter to measure the contact resistance at the battery terminals. If it exceeds 100 milliohms, the contact resistance is too high, and you should replace or clean the terminals. If not, you can only replace the battery. Causes of a burned car battery: Circuit short-circuit: The car interior contains many complex electronic components and circuits. Once a short-circuit occurs, not only will the electronic components be damaged, but the battery may also burn out. Excessive charging voltage: Most battery failures are caused by prolonged excessive charging voltage. Electrolyte loss: The battery contains electrolyte. Once leakage occurs, it indicates the need for immediate replacement; otherwise, it will lead to other circuit failures. Long-term complete discharge of the battery: Frequent and prolonged complete discharges of the battery will accelerate its aging, thereby shortening its lifespan.
