Will the car battery die if the car is not driven for a long time?
1 Answers
If the car is not driven for a long time, the battery will indeed die. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Characteristics of the battery: Car batteries have a self-discharge feature. Even if the car remains completely stationary, the battery will gradually discharge over time, leading to a state of depletion. This can cause irreversible damage to the battery and significantly reduce its lifespan. 2. How to handle the battery if the car is not driven for a long time: Start the vehicle and let it run for more than an hour every week or every ten days. Make sure the running time is sufficiently long; otherwise, the recharge may not compensate for the discharge. If you don't have time to start the vehicle, it is recommended to disconnect all the battery cables.
