Lesser Known Facts about Car Batteries

by Ankita Sehgal Freelance Blogger, Lives in New Delhi
The car battery is one of the most crucial parts of your car. It should be in a top-notch condition so that the car functions properly and efficiently. Keeping some facts in your mind about your battery is always helpful. Be it Amaron car battery or any other company, there are many facts which car owners are unaware of.

  1. The materials with which your car battery is made up of are the most recycled consumer products in the world.
  2. 99% of a typical vehicle battery like a car battery can be used again for different purposes. We can also save 90% of the battery energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  3.  If you are able to give your car battery enough time to recharge itself perfectly by driving for longer periods instead of short trips, it lasts for nearly five years.
  4. Improper installation of the battery in your car can damage the whole electrical system of the vehicle.
  5. ‘’Stop-Start’’ technology consumes more life of car batteries and so car batteries often have a shorter lifespan when installing in such cars.
  6. The harm your car can cause to the environment depends on the battery in it. Lead dioxide and sulfuric acid in the car batteries are very harmful to the environment.
  7. Battery failure can occur in as little as three years, depending on the usage, maintenance, and seasonal temperatures. Then, you may need to pay for the Exide battery for car price in order to replace the old one.
  8. The battery location differs in different cars depending on the manufacturer and model. Batteries are installed in cars in various locations such as the footwell, in the boot or even under the seats.
  9. Extreme temperatures, be it high or low, affect car batteries. As the temperature rises, the electrolyte in the car battery evaporates. Similarly, as the temperature drops down, it freezes and hence the battery fails to perform efficiently for a longer time. Hence, the temperature has an impact on the life of the car battery and its performance.
  10. Fuel economy is greatly affected by a faulty or failing battery. Faulty car battery requires an extra load to charge and the alternator puts extra pressure on the battery. This consumes more fuel and fuel economy is affected.
  11.  About 50% of car battery failures are caused by the loss of water for recharging, due to lack of maintenance, evaporation from high heat, and overcharging.
  12. Deep cycle batteries get discharged faster compared to the car batteries. So, they are also called marine or motorhome batteries and leisure batteries.
