The main reason for the breakdown of cars in Malaysia is the battery, according to a study conducted by Bosch, one of the leading suppliers of Malaysia automobile components.
Your car may not start if your battery fails. The vehicle's battery powers the starter engine, which then rotates the alternator that recharges the battery.
The most common cause of flat batteries is to leave the lights when the engine is switched off. A few short trips or a bad electrical connection can also contribute to Battery malfunctionS
Batteries can become flat for the following reasons
- When you use your car for short trips or when left unused for some time
- Defective components
- The vehicle charging system is a malfunction.
- The battery itself has an error.
- Aged
Why my car won't start
The term “dead battery” is usually used when the battery will not start your car, although it is not technically accurate. They can recharge a drained battery due to leaving the headlights on or from a damaged alternator to its total capacity. They cannot refresh the batteries at the end of their lives to restore their power level to a useful unit. In this case, this is a dead battery and must be replaced.
It is possible to start a recorded battery, but not dead using another fully charged battery. The alternator can completely charge the battery after about 30 minutes of driving. The battery will not be recharged if the alternator or other part of your car's electrical system is damaged and a mechanic or service station will not be able to renew it. Before replacing your battery, if it continues to be discarded, check out your electrical system. What looks a bad battery can be an electrical problem. You will be stuck over and over if you have a problem with the electrical system.
How to prevent a flat battery
When you get out of the car, be sure to turn off everything. Although removing the ignition switch may not exclude the lights, most modern vehicles have a warning sound when you open the door to indicate that the lights are on.
In most cases, your battery will not have many charging options if you do not make long trips very often. To correct this, charge the battery overnight every two weeks. During the service of your car, the mechanic must ensure that your battery connections are secure and the terminals are clean and corrosion without corrosion.
In addition, most car batteries are guaranteed for 3 to 5 years, so you live in a loan time. Replace your battery before your juice is done.
When I buy a battery, what should I consider?
What is the best battery for your vehicle? Here are some tips to help you decide.
Find out what the manufacturer of your vehicle's original equipment in your management recommends:
- Battery group size – choosing the right battery size for your vehicle will depend on its size. There are several different sizes of the battery group to choose from.
- Cold amps (CCA) -CCA is essential for good attraction ability. This is the maximum amplifier that the battery can maintain for 30 seconds at 0 degrees F before its voltage drops to an unusable level.
- Reserve capacity (RC) – When the alternator fails, the battery powers the vehicle's electrical system. The maximum capacity of your battery is determined by how long it can provide sufficient power without falling below the minimum voltage required to operate your car for a given period.
The greater the number, the better for both CCA and RC. If you are in a cold area, check the CCA estimate when choosing a battery. On the other hand, you will not need so much CCA if you live in a hot environment.
