Sooner or later every motorist is faced with a situation when the battery "dies", this problem is especially acute at a time when frosts begin. There are many reasons due to which the battery may lose its performance, it may be the door not closed to the end, and the interior light on for a long time, and a forgotten working radio tape recorder. In general, this is the result of any energy consumer that has remained in working condition for a long time.
Instructions
Step 1
However, in addition to forgotten electrical appliances, a faulty generator, which supplies an insufficient charge, or an electrolyte level that is too low, can become the cause of battery failure. To restore the life of the battery, first of all check the electrolyte level - if it is lower than necessary, add distilled water to the jars.
Step 2
Try to assess your capabilities, that is, decide which way it is easiest for you to start the battery. It may be possible to start with a "pusher", which is only done in vehicles with a manual transmission, but it is not recommended, as it is likely to cause damage, such as belt slippage.
Step 3
One of the easiest ways to bring a battery back to life is to use a cigarette lighter from another running car's battery. To do this, you just need to stop a passing car and ask the driver for help.
Step 4
In the event that there is no opportunity to "light", you do not dare to start from the "pusher", it remains to remove the battery to bring it back to life. If the problem occurs at a time when the outside temperature is sub-zero, that is, more than minus 5 degrees Celsius, bring the battery to heat so that it warms up.
Step 5
But before that, make sure that at least the dashboard lights up during the turn in the ignition lock, only in this case, after heating the battery to 20 degrees, a charge will appear in it, which will be able to turn the starter and start the car.
Step 6
The ideal option is to charge the battery for a day if you have a charger, which can be purchased at any car dealership. After starting the car, it should be left to idle for at least 15 minutes - then the battery will finally "come to life". In the future, to avoid unpleasant situations, fully charge the battery and contact the service station to detect energy leaks and determine the health of the generator.
