Life span of a car battery
There are some factors that affect the performance of the car battery. Some of them you can influence. We will show you what are the factors that affect the life of the battery and how long it is normally usable.
- A factor that influences the service life, the on-Board electronics. The more current has to provide the battery for the electronics of a car, the stronger it is claimed.
- Also the way of driving affects a car battery. If you travel very often for short distances, is damaging to the battery.
- In the Winter, the car is claimed battery especially, because the chemical reactions in the battery slow. Therefore, you should use it in Winter, only the really necessary electronics of your car.
- It is crystals of lead sulfate in the battery are formed with time. These are deposited on the electrode. This offering eventually, enough surface area and so reduces the efficiency of the battery.
- If the crystals fall off, the soil is deposited and this layer is in contact with the electrodes, a short circuit and the battery is unusable.
- If the above factors have an effect on your car battery, no longer can you be after 4 years of function. If the battery is used carefully, it can survive 15 to 20 years.
In the next article, we will show you how to charge a car battery properly dispose.
