With the rapid development of technology in the automotive industry, Hyundai is no longer just a means of transportation, but also a mobile intelligent space with many electronic devices. However, while enjoying these conveniences, car owners often overlook an important detail - the management of electricity consumption after the engine is turned off. According to a data from the auto repair industry, about 30% of battery failures are related to improper use after the ignition has been turned off. So, how to operate correctly in daily use of the car to extend the life of the car battery?
First of all, in the high temperature of summer, air conditioning has become a must-have for driving. Many drivers are accustomed to parking and leaving the car with the ignition turned off, thinking that the electrical appliances in the car will automatically turn off. As everyone knows, the next time you start the car, the air conditioning system will restart in an instant, which will cause the engine to be subjected to additional starting loads, which will cause damage to the battery in the long run. According to expert advice, the correct approach is to turn off the air conditioning system and all other on-board electronic equipment before turning off the ignition, which can effectively reduce the burden on the battery and thus achieve the purpose of protecting the battery.
Secondly, the additional power interfaces such as cigarette lighters and dash cams of some models are still in the power supply state after the vehicle is turned off. If the external devices are not unplugged in time, they will continue to consume the battery storage power, especially in the case of long-term parking, which may lead to deep discharge of the battery, seriously affecting its service life. According to a study of various vehicle types, such additional loads consume about 5% of the battery's power per hour on average when the engine is turned off.
Moreover, listening to ** for a long time after turning off the engine is also a "battery killer" that is easy to ignore. Some car owners choose to stay in the car when waiting for someone or resting, and they don't know that even if the vehicle is turned off, the audio system is still consuming power, and in the long run, it will undoubtedly increase the load on the battery and shorten its life. Statistics show that more than two hours in a row may lead to a significant drop in battery power.
To sum up, car owners should develop good habits before turning off the engine in the daily use of the car, such as turning off the air conditioner and various electronic devices in advance, and ensuring that there is no additional power loss, in order to ensure the healthy operation of the car battery to the greatest extent. At the same time, we encourage the majority of car owners to actively participate in the discussion, share their maintenance experience and experience, and jointly pay attention to and solve this seemingly small but far-reaching problem, so as to escort our car and make every trip more worry-free.
