This kind of practice always appears to be a huge problem.
Basic parameters that determine battery life; maintenance of the battery , climate conditions in which the vehicle is used, mileage range of the vehicle, frequency of use and adding additional consumers to the vehicle.
The condition of using the vehicle is the basic condition that affects the battery life. For vehicles driven continuously for a short distance, the battery life may be shorter. Because a very high current is drawn from the battery during the first movement of the vehicle…
Leaving the car for a long time in a cold environment can also affect battery life. If the car will remain in a cold environment for a long time, remove the battery and store it in a warmer environment to prevent freezing. Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery. Wait for it to return to its normal state first, otherwise there is a risk of explosion. If the battery is frozen, make sure that there are no breaks in the components inside and the body is not cracked.
Another issue is that the vehicle is not operated for a long time. If the vehicle is not used for more than a month, to ensure long life of the batteries; if the batteries remain in the vehicle, the negative terminal must be removed. Liquid level should be checked. If missing, pure water should be added up to the maximum acid level mark (on maintenance- free battery types). With low maintenance batteries (maintenance-free battery), you do not need to add water to the battery. The self-discharge rate of the battery at an ambient temperature of 20 ° C is 0.2% of the rated capacity daily. Acid density should be checked at regular intervals to prevent discharge thoroughly. Batteries should be connected to the charge if the acid density is below 1.21 kg / l. As the charging current, 1/10 of the capacity is recommended. Batteries that are well discharged form lead sulfate.
Another condition that determines the battery life is the installation of auxiliary electrical accessories to the vehicle. If you want to attach additional accessories to your car such as alarm systems that constantly draw electricity, mobile phone car kit, radio navigator with satellite and anti-theft system; go to a specialist garage. In addition to offering you the most suitable accessories from the range of accessories, the skilled staff will check whether the car's electrical system is adequate or whether a higher capacity battery needs to be installed. These systems also draw current from the battery when the ignition key is removed (when the car is parked ) and can slowly discharge the battery.
Consequently, it should be known that the main parameter that determines the battery life is the condition of the vehicle, not the time and mileage.
