We all know that every part of a car has its purpose, and the battery is an indispensable part. However, some car owners will still do some behaviors that hurt the battery after the car is turned off, which seems to be insignificant, but in fact will cause great damage to the battery. Let's take a look at these behaviors that hurt the battery and learn how to properly protect the battery.
First of all, many car owners will habitually use the electronic devices in the car, such as audio, air conditioning, lights, etc., after turning off the engine. These devices have a high power and can cause the battery to be over-discharged when used for a long time, thus shortening the life of the battery. Therefore, these devices should be avoided after the ignition is turned off, and if they are to be used, they should be used for as little time as possible.
Secondly, some car owners like not to turn off the lights when parking, which will directly lead to over-discharge of the battery, and even cause damage to the battery in serious cases. Therefore, when parking, it is important to make sure that the lights are turned off to avoid unnecessary damage to the battery.
In addition, some car owners will close the doors directly after turning off the engine, without caring whether the other equipment has been turned off. This will cause some devices to continue to work even if the battery is low, causing harm to the battery. Therefore, it is important to make sure that all equipment has been turned off before turning off the flame to avoid over-discharging the battery.
Finally, some car owners will not maintain the battery when the vehicle is parked for a long time, which will cause the battery to be in a state of power loss for a long time, thereby shortening the service life. Therefore, when the vehicle is parked for a long time, the vehicle should be started regularly and charged with a battery charger to keep the battery active.
In conclusion, the correct way to protect the battery is to avoid excessive use of the electronics in the car after the engine is turned off, make sure the lights are turned off when parking, make sure all equipment is turned off before turning off the engine, and perform regular battery maintenance on vehicles that have been parked for long periods of time. Only in this way can the service life of the battery be extended and the normal operation of the vehicle can be guaranteed.
