No one wants to get in the car in the morning and realize that’s it, we’re not going anywhere. The reason is a dead battery. To avoid this, it is necessary to monitor its condition.

Vice President of the National Automobile Union Jan Haytseer reminds that it is necessary to monitor the health of electrical equipment and regularly charge the battery itself.

“Abouto remember that when we drive short distances, the battery does not have time to charge. To fully charge the battery, it is necessary to drive about 150 km, and under load, and not stationary, The expert explained.

He recommends carrying out preventive charging of the battery at least once every 1.5 months. Thus, the service life can be extended from 3 to 5-6 years.

Heitzeer mentioned two main reasons why a battery can run out quickly: the high power consumption of a modern car and malfunctions in electrical equipment. At the same time, gel batteries in particular do not like full discharge, and such a battery can even break down if you discharge it “to zero” once, the expert noted.
