Winter is coming and with it the power consumption increases, even in vehicles. Your car battery is thus subject to greater constraints.
Protected by its cache, the car battery is often the most overlooked revisions. It is also necessary to control its tension. If it is less than 12.7 V after a journey of about thirty minutes, it is likely that it requires maintenance or if your alternator is not charging correctly.
Check the levels between the electrodes. Attention acid is harmful to the eyes. If lack of fluid, use only distilled water.
When the thermometer goes below -5 ° C, the car battery suffers. And if the engine compartment no longer has the protection around the battery, wind can bring down even temperature.
When starting a diesel engine, wait until the preheating is effective. Even modern engines
may request a preheating time in extreme conditions.
If your car is outside layer, it is possible to opt for a device that can heat the battery.
The principal for the life of your car battery remains that the load is always optimal. Some of you will remember that it is possible to charge or help starting with a booster.
If not being maintained, its battery will limit its capabilities; its misuse is also a factor.
When your car will not start, do not work the battery for a long time. Better to give relatively short key strokes. If the problem persists, check the spark plugs.
The start takes a lot of energy. Turn off your lights and all devices that consume electricity before waking the engine.
A flat battery must be charged immediately. Without wishing to alarm you of course, but better you know…
In this time of year, it is common to ride with the lights on in the morning and evening
With the cold, all our devices charge faster. So sometimes we load the car more frequently.
Maintain its battery is crucial in winter. Car suffers more and tends to discharge more rapidly.
Zoom on batteries
Two types of batteries are commonly used:
The operation and the establishment of a battery are the same regardless of the type: it must deliver volts (lighting, alarm) and ampere (start).
The capacity of a battery is expressed in ampere hours (Ah). For example, to 24 Ah, the battery can deliver 24 amps in one hour.
Note: inside, a battery comprises a plurality of accumulators connected in series. Each producing a few volts, so it takes several batteries to produce the amount of volts required to operate a car.
Sulfating: if we leave a battery to discharge, lead sulfate crystals accumulate on the plates. The battery loses its efficiency because of this layer present on the lead plates.
Stratification: if a calcium battery is discharged by half, there is creation of layers (acid on one side and water on the other).
Drying: If the battery is charged with a voltage greater than itself, it is overloaded and the water evaporates. The plates no longer immersed in a homogeneous liquid, which alters the operation of the battery.
Specific chargers allow solving these problems with specific functions.
A battery charger is a handy device that allows you to recharge your battery when it is depleted. Some charger models in some cases give a second life to your battery if it is worn. However, if your battery is dead, charger can do nothing.
To recharge a battery with a charger, install yourself in a ventilated place preference.
Warning: do not smoke especially close.
If you do not have a charger, another vehicle is essential to recharge your battery.
This operation will not recharge the battery; it will give the necessary impetus to start. It is the action of roll that will then create electricity that is stored in the battery (if it is not worn, laminated, sulphate, etc.).
Then disconnect the cables in this order:
Caution: Always make sure that the clamps do not touch!
Go ride at least 20 minutes.
Your alternator may be defective, as it is used to recharge the battery when your car runs, the symptoms are the same as for a car that will not start.
