What can we do to prolong our car batter’s life in summer?

In hot summer, car batteries are prone to voltage instability. In summer days, the temperature of the car battery tends to rise. When the battery temperature is high, the electrodes will be oxidized due to the aging of the insulation layer, especially the negative electrode.

 

In hot summer, car batteries are prone to voltage instability. In summer days, the temperature of the car battery tends to rise. When the battery temperature is high, the electrodes will be oxidized due to the aging of the insulation layer, especially the negative electrode. Which will produce white oxide on the electrode head, resulting in unstable voltage of the car battery. This will produce white oxide at the electrode head, resulting in unstable voltage of the car battery.

 

So in hot summer, car batteries should be checked and maintained regularly to protect them from early leakage.

 

How do I take care of my car battery in the summer?

1. Regular maintenance:Especially in the hot summer weather, car owners should regularly maintain the car battery.

 

 

2. Minimize excessive power consumption: Remember to switch off the air conditioning when starting the engine and don't leave the brake lights on all the time. Excessive power consumption will only make the battery power supply is insufficient, starting difficulties, shorten the battery life.

 

3. Do not charging frequent: Frequent battery power consumption and charging will lead to battery memory effect (aging, elastic fatigue, insufficient power storage and leakage).

 

4. Try to avoid frequent starting of the vehicle:Each time you start the engine time should not be more than 3 seconds. If the first start fails, do not rush to start again and again at this time.

According to the working principle of the car, continuous starting of the motor at this time will certainly cause excessive discharge and damage to the battery. It is recommended that the interval between starting again should be more than 5 seconds. If the car suddenly runs out of power and fails to catch fire, emergency measures can be taken without damaging the car battery, such as using the car's emergency power supply.

 

5. Predicting the precursors of a battery “strike”: The owner of a battery that is approaching the end of its life can feel it when driving.The owner can feel it while driving. For example, after a few days of parking the car won't start and the fuel consumption will increase. In summer, when the air conditioning is switched on car will feel a heavier load, and a significant increase in fuel consumption. So when the car owner uses the battery for about two and a half years, routine maintenance should test the battery, which can play a preventive role.

 

The above is an overview of how to maintain a car battery in hot weather and the problems that are likely to arise problems that can occur.

We hope this has been helpful to fellow car owners.
