Will the trunk run out of power if left open overnight?

Leaving the trunk open overnight may drain the battery, as the trunk light will remain on and consume power. Here is some relevant information about car batteries: Battery: A battery, also known as an accumulator, is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Car batteries typically refer to lead-acid batteries, which are mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The normal service life of a car battery ranges from 1 to 8 years, depending largely on the vehicle's condition. Battery replacement: If the battery is dead, it is recommended to first measure the battery voltage. If using a multimeter, check the battery voltage when starting the engine. You can initially use a high-frequency discharge meter or battery tester to measure. Under a load current of no less than 110 amps, the minimum voltage should not be lower than 9.6 volts and should remain stable for 5 seconds. If the voltage is below 9.6 volts but can stabilize within 5 seconds, it indicates over-discharge, and the battery should be recharged promptly. If the voltage is below 9.6 volts and cannot stabilize within 5 seconds, dropping rapidly to 0 volts or close to 0 volts, it suggests a battery fault, and replacement may be necessary.
