What to do if the battery got in winter in zero

Almost any driver faced a problem when the car refuses to start. And it happens that not only to start, but even open the car becomes very problematic. Especially relevant this problem becomes winter. Cause - complete battery discharge. Is it for the first time with you? Then read what to do if the battery got on the car.

Why the battery is discharged

The battery is a large battery that is required by the machine, mainly to create a powerful spark when starting the engine. As soon as the generator starts, the battery starts to automatically accumulate the current - charge. That is why, in normal conditions, it always remains charged. But what can take this self-renovating unit? There may be several reasons.

What should I do if it still happened, and your car flatly refuses to start?

How to behave if the battery was discharged

First, you should not panic. The situation is not critical and quite corrected.

• however, even if you cannot "see" the battery, you can simply use a stranger. By installing the worker unit on your car, get the car and then install your discharged device in place.

Note!Some foreign cars with a large abundance of electronics, neither the removal of the battery, nor cigarette. Special instructions on this occasion can be found in the suggestion to your model.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to start the machine with an automatic transmission! Machine owners will have to be content with only the previously described methods.

What to do if the battery sat in winter

Why exactly in winter the battery can be discharged without visible for the reasons and what to do if the battery got on the frost?

The fact is that the chemical processes inside the cans of the battery slow down in the cold, the electrolyte density changes, voltage drops on terminals. The lower the temperature, the more significant these changes become. That is why, in winter, especially in a strong frost, it is enough just to put the battery home so that he beats. During the warming up, all indicators are restored, and the machine is started without any problems.

However, such heating does not always be an effective measure for winter. You will be able to resuscitate warmth only in the case when you went to late evening, and I found it in the morning that frosts unexpectedly hit. But what to do if in the winter the battery sat down because you did not use the car for a few days? The answer is unequivocal - everything is the same as in the summer: to charge, "dent", push. And also choose the battery correctly!

How to protect the battery in winter

So that frosts do not find surprise, it is worth how to prepare for winter.

• Do not bring the device in winter until it exhausted. On average, the battery is able to serve as faithful within 2-3 years, but, with due care, it can stretch up to five;
• in winter, it is better to keep the car in a heated garage;
• you can purchase a special blanket that protects the insides of the machine from fast cooling during the cold season. Keep in mind, warm under such a blanket is preserved for a short time. From the discharge after the weekly parking, it will definitely not save you;
• most accumulators like it when in winter they go home for the night;
• do not forget about the right choice of oil for winter. Despite the fact that it does not affect the battery, it directly depends on the launch rate. Long launch will thoroughly reset the remaining charge.

Be careful, more often check the operation of electricians in the car, then the battery will last you for a long time.
