Since March 2022, the new crown virus has surged into Mick rong, affecting many provinces in the country. Many areas are closed or semi-enclosed due to the epidemic, which has caused many families to be unable to travel normally as before. The car is parked outdoors for a long time, and the battery is out of power and cannot start has become a problem that plagues the owner.
The community where the author is located has been closed for more than 20 days, before the unsealing, the owner group often sees everyone laughing, forgetting where their car is parked; the parking time is too long, the battery is out of power and so on.
As we all know, cars are the same as home appliances, and they are not afraid to use them. Under normal circumstances, parked vehicles should be lit up and run for a while every one to two weeks. This avoids the fact that in a standing state, the battery automatically discharges and causes a power loss.
But no one can predict when the epidemic will appear around? No one can predict how long it will take for the community to return to normal once it is closed?
Therefore, before you are usually ready to turn off the car, it is best to check the power switch in the car. For example, check if the stereo in the car is turned off? Is the igniter plug unplugged? Is there an electronic product connected to the USB interface? Are the headlights off? Is the steering homing? Whether the air conditioner and dashcam are turned off, etc.
Cut off these power supplies to minimize the burden on the battery and not lose power.
If you have an idle car in your home that you don't use often, don't leave it alone for a long time. Every other week to two weeks, start the car, you can run for 10-20 minutes to recharge. If you are too lazy to drive, at least in the idling state, start the car and run it for a few minutes. Before getting off the bus, you can also bang a few feet on the accelerator.
So, what if there is really no electricity? Try using a neighbor or friend's car to get on the phone. It is recommended that the owner put a set of car batteries in the trunk to build a fire line, in case of emergency.
Drive the started car to the side of the car that has no power, and the two fronts are as close together as possible, as shown in the picture above. Then open the lid of the locomotive machine, hold the position of the battery clip insulation, and clamp the chuck on the positive and negative poles of the battery respectively. Then clamp the other end separately on the positive and negative poles of the battery of the battery of the dead car.
Check whether the chuck is firm and the positive and negative poles cannot be shorted. After the connection is connected, stand still for a while, get on the car, screw the key to the ON gear, check whether the dashboard is abnormal, and finally rotate the key to start the vehicle. The car is on fire, don't take off the battery clip right away, let the car run for a while. Feeling almost the same, then remove the battery clips separately.
After the battery card is removed, don't rush to extinguish the fire. Let the car run for a few more minutes. Then turn off the ignition, wait a little while, and then try to restart the car. If you light a fire easily and prove that the charging just now has an effect, it is best to drive out and run for a while to further charge.
If you feel that the car has been left for too long and are worried about the lack of power, you can also drive to the car repair shop and check the battery usage through the computer.
In short, it is better to be well prepared in extraordinary times than to have time to start. A set of battery-mounted fire wires takes up very little space and is placed in the trunk to be prepared.
