Will the battery die if a new car is not used for a month?
1 Answers
Not using a car for a month will not cause the battery to die, but it is still best to disconnect the positive and negative terminals of the battery to avoid natural power consumption. However, for cars in poor condition, the battery may already be depleted in about a week. Here is additional information: 1. Restoring battery charge: Simply driving normally for one to two hours can restore the battery to its normal charge level. If the situation is severe enough that the engine cannot be started, a jump-start will be required to activate it. 2. Start and drive the car once a week: For vehicles parked for extended periods, it is advisable to start and drive them once a week if possible. If you are usually busy with work, consider driving the car on weekends for a few dozen kilometers. This helps recharge the battery, ensures even tire pressure distribution, and most importantly, allows the engine oil to better adhere to the internal parts of the engine, which is crucial for vehicle maintenance. Keeping the engine running smoothly is also a highly effective method of vehicle upkeep.
