Question 9

What causes a car battery to stop working correctly?

A drained battery will only require a recharge unless the battery is faulty and its failed operation was instrumental to the drain.After prolonged use, a car battery can leak the acid that holds the electrical charge. This liquid will turn to a white or bluish powder where it dries, so is fairly easy to spot.Eventually, a battery will simply reach the end of its life. At this point, it’s time to organise a replacement.
