  • A vehicle breakdown due to a dead car battery can surely dampen the vehicle owner’s day. There are so many reasons behind a battery malfunction. In some situations, it may be due to the insufficient charging and corrosive terminals, while in some cases it may be due to leaving the headlights and other electrical components on overnight. Also, in rare circumstances, you can encounter the inconvenience of a dead car battery due to a faulty alternator. Whatever may be the cause, you have to deal with a dead car battery in order to get back on the road. I can say that preventive maintenance is the best way to ensure your vehicle battery is in good condition. That means by keeping your battery terminals clean, prevent overcharging, disconnecting the battery when not in use, switching off all the electrical components while your vehicle is in the unused mode, inspecting the battery performance by using voltmeter and multimeter, giving the necessary TLC at the right time with the help of a skilled auto professional, you can prevent this source of annoyance.

  • Thanks for this amazing post. This really takes dealing with car battery to different level & can help anyone become a pro.
    The way this piece of data is written is really simple and easy to use.
    Just like you, I have had the chance to find a simple way by which we can easily be able to recharge any sort of battery. The new phone you bought? Laptop? Car? Refrigerator? All of these needs batteries can be again brought back to life by a simple process.
    I personally got started with Battery reconditioning 3 months ago by facing similar issues.
    I am sure it will really provide value to anyone using this.

  • good info! I would highly recommend the battery booster that they sell in costco, they are these super portable battery packs with jump cables for like $130. Also, if anyone has any dead car batteries you can actually restore them and reuse them again. You don’t have to keep re-buying new ones every time…

  • This is a very nice & amazing blog post. The life span of normal car battery is 2-3 years. After that the battery must be replaced. Sometimes by our bad use of the vehicle, it’s battery becomes dead; primarily due to leaving the headlights & other electrical components on overnight. Sometimes insufficient charging & corrosive terminals also makes the battery dead. In case a battery becomes dead, it is to be replaced with a good one.

  • A dead car battery is an affair which comes into existence mostly due to our negligence. A battery is a component, without which a vehicle is almost dead. Because it stores and supplies the necessary power required for mechanical and electrical operation. Thus, when it goes out, the constituents don’t get the required energy to operate and remain in the stationary mode untill any kind of replacement takes place. Using a jump starter, you can bring life into the dead cell, but it will not last for a considerable moment. Hence, it will be better if you replace the dead accumulator with a new one. This is I think the best way to deal with a dead battery and to protect the vehicle’s engine from getting damaged.

  • Battery is an important part of car without which car can’t start. A car battery stores and supplies the necessary power required for it’s mechanical and electrical operation. Sometimes the battery becomes dead due to insufficient charging, corrosive battery terminals and keeping the headlights & other electrical components on overnight. At times it may be due to faulty alternator. When the car battery becomes dead we may jump start the battery with another battery.

  • I agree with negligence being a main contributing factor for losing batteries but sometimes the battery can definitely be brought back to life. I recently used this method to shock the life back into our old Honda battery after it was just standing for four months
