BATTERY CHARGING 🔋

When a car is not driven for several weeks, it’s important to regularly charge the battery. Here are the main reasons why:

1. Battery Self-Discharge

Car batteries gradually discharge even when the vehicle is not in use. Modern cars have many systems that draw a small amount of power even in standby mode, such as alarms, central locking, and electronic control units. Over time, this can drain the battery to the point where it may not have enough power to start the engine after a few weeks.

2. Prevention of Deep Discharge

If a battery’s voltage drops too low, it can enter a state known as deep discharge. This can cause permanent damage to the battery, reducing its ability to hold a charge or even rendering it unusable. Regularly charging the battery prevents it from reaching this critical low point.

3. Extending Battery Life

Keeping the battery regularly charged when the car is not in use helps maximize its lifespan. Batteries that are frequently left in a low charge state or become fully discharged tend to lose capacity faster. Using a battery charger or a trickle charger to maintain the battery in an optimal charge state can significantly extend its life.

4. Avoiding Start-Up Problems

When a car sits unused for a long time, the battery may become too weak to start the engine. This can lead to the inconvenience of needing roadside assistance or jump-starting the car. By regularly charging the battery, you can ensure the car is ready to start when needed without these issues.

5. Cold Weather and Low Temperatures

Batteries tend to discharge faster in cold weather. Low temperatures slow down the chemical reactions within the battery, reducing its overall performance. If a car is left unused for several weeks in winter, it’s especially important to charge the battery regularly, as it may not hold enough power to start the engine.

Conclusion:

Regularly charging a car battery when the vehicle is not in use helps prevent deep discharge, extends the battery’s lifespan, and avoids start-up problems. This is particularly important for modern vehicles that consume power even when parked, and even more so in colder weather.

Restore your battery.
Precise pulse charging technology automatically detects and corrects sulfation and acid stratification, two common problems that affect battery performance. Correcting these problems restores the health of the battery so it works better and lasts longer.

Key concepts breakdown:

• Sulfation: Over time, lead-acid batteries will develop lead sulfate crystals on the battery plates, especially if they are left discharged for long periods of time. These crystals affect the battery's ability to charge and discharge efficiently. Pulse charging destroys these crystals, allowing the battery to regain its capacity.
• Acid stratification: In lead-acid batteries, the electrolyte (acid) can sometimes separate into layers, with the heavier acid settling at the bottom. This causes uneven charge distribution and reduces the overall performance of the battery. Modern chargers can detect and correct this, restoring the battery's balance.

In summary, our highly professional battery chargers also actively work on restoring their condition, improving their performance and extending their lifespan.
