How to maintain and extend the life of your car battery

 

 


car battery typically lasts between 4 and 5 years, but neglecting to take care of the battery could result in damage that causes the battery to be depleted or destroyed earlier than this time frame.

Car battery types :

Regular batteries that use liquids and modern dry batteries are the two types of batteries found in cars.
 If the level of the liquid in the regular battery is below the required level, the battery must be refilled with distilled water.

This is one of the most significant mistakes that can shorten the life of your car battery, dear reader.

Dry batteries have a crystal lens on top that you may use to see their condition.
 If the color is green, it indicates that the battery is fully charged; if it is black, it is either damaged or has to be repaired.

Parking :

People who own many cars or who frequently travel and leave their automobiles parked have this issue.

 The battery is also harme3d by lack of use when the car is parked for extended periods.

 If you don't want to remove the battery, dear reader, you can give a friend or relative the keys so they can take the car out for a quick trip once a week while the battery is still charged.


clean the battery :

checked In addition to keeping the electrodes from corrosion and cleaning them with ammonia or sodium carbonate liquid, experts advise that the battery body and its electrodes be cleared of debris and moisture with a cloth made of materials that resist static electric charges.


Naturally, after making sure the charging cables are disconnected the negative cable first (-) and the positive cable(+)

Car Alternator voltage :


Dynamos can occasionally create battery problems. The dynamo won't be able to make up for the necessary charge if its charge is lower than the battery's capacity.
 On the other hand, when the dynamo is overcharged, the increased charging could result in an acid deficit, and the high temperature could seriously harm the battery.

Excessive usage :

One of the mistakes that lead to battery damage and premature consumption is its excessive use during stopping and for long periods, such as using it to watch movies inside the car on a DVD screen with the help of the audio system.
However, the car battery relies on chemical reactions to generate energy, so use in this way results in strength loss in a short amount of time.

The battery is also impacted by electrical issues with the car, and when you force the engine to start when it won't, the battery is also consumed.

As part of your regular auto maintenance, we encourage you, dear reader, to check the dynamo's operation at least once a year to assess the charging capacity and to frequently check the battery acid strength to prolong the battery's lifespan (such as changing the oil and checking the cooling water).
