Will the Car Battery Die If the Car Is Not Started for 20 Days?
1 Answers
If the battery is fully charged and the car is in good condition before parking, it should be fine if not started for 20 days. However, if the car is not in good condition and the battery is not fully charged, the battery may die after being parked for 20 days. Therefore, it is best to start the car once a week when it is parked to recharge the battery. Below are some precautions for car battery charging: 1. Pay attention to temperature: During the charging process, measure the density and voltage of the electrolyte approximately every hour and check its temperature. If the temperature exceeds 40°C, reduce the charging current by half. If the temperature continues to rise above 45°C, stop charging and wait until it cools below 35°C before resuming. Air or water cooling methods can also be used to lower the temperature. 2. Ensure ventilation: The charging area should be well-ventilated, and open flames are strictly prohibited because the bubbles in the electrolyte are hydrogen and oxygen.
