Problems with launching

Starting problems are the fault of a weakened battery, most often discharged by faulty electrical installations and connected devices.

Starting problems are the fault of a weakened battery, most often discharged by faulty electrical installations and devices connected to them, such as energy-intensive, low-quality car alarms, faulty relays . 

In a discharged battery, acid turns into water. At low temperatures, freezing water destroys the battery. Such breakdowns happen to drivers who leave their cars in parking lots for many days.

A serviceable battery can also present an unpleasant surprise during the morning start-up. It is worth trying the method used by experts. Sitting in the car, turn on the parking lights for two to three minutes.

Then, after turning off the parking lights, start the engine. It would be surprising if the only reason for the weak power was the night frost.

At -18 degrees Celsius, a healthy new battery loses 50 percent of its capacity overnight due to electrolyte cooling. When the parking lights are turned on, the temperature of the electrolyte rises, and with it the charge of the battery. In short, the energy balance is then positive. We gain more than we lose.
