New batteries currently sold on the Russian market fail quickly. In this respect reports “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”, referring to the head of the service department of the Fresh automobile market Ilya Ivansky.
“A car battery consumes its life in an average of five years. This can happen earlier if the car owner forgets to turn off the car’s lighting and other energy consumers, charges the battery with excessive current, does not pay attention to the voltage level of the on-board network and allows the electrolyte to become contaminated. ” said Ivansky.
According to the expert, the fragility of modern batteries is explained by the fact that, for example, most battery purchases are now made online, and the consumer buys “a pig out of nowhere” from an unknown manufacturer. As a result, you can purchase not only a non-original spare part, but also a long-lasting one presented as a new product.
Before that, automobile expert Mikhail Kolodochkin statedIt turned out that antifreeze liquid containing methanol sold on the roadside can be purchased and used in the windshield washing chamber of cars. However, according to him, liquids made from ethanol or isopropyl alcohol do not qualify according to a number of criteria.
According to an auto expert, methanol-based antifreeze fluids are used in Northern Europe as well as in Canada, where winter temperatures reach -40 degrees Celsius.
