A healthy battery is vital to running your car. It powers up the starter motor, engine management computer, and other systems. It also provides power to other electrical units. If a car has a dead battery, its operational value is close to zero. Only options would be to replace or jump start.
Let’s rewind to the point where your battery is not dead yet. What can you do to make your battery last longer? The simple answer is regular care. Here are a few tips to prolong your battery life and keep your Tata Indica parts running.
Engine Cleaning
As oil runs throughout the system, it is bound to leak. Oil leaks can happen due to the breakage of oil seals or because of the hydraulic steering system. These leaks can affect the operation of the drive belt and decrease total output. It then in turn causes heating issues, which can significantly impact the life of your battery. An annual cleaning of the engine should be enough to overcome this problem. Check out our drive belts and Tata Indica parts.
Curb Corrosion
The most common cause of batteries dying early is corrosion. It is easy to spot corrosion, which usually has the characteristic green or blue color. Sometimes, the corrosion might be concealed. The first step to curbing corrosion is to keep your battery clean. A multimeter can help you spot concealed corrosion. Any major deviation in values indicates the need for battery replacement.
Replacement or Battery Jump
If you do end up with a dead battery, replacing the battery is your best option. You can take good care of the new one. But if you are stranded or do not have a replacement, jumping your car battery is the way to go. You will need a few jumper cables. Check the battery voltage output to know the battery status. The car manual will have the appropriate voltage values stated.
Maintaining your car battery will ensure you enjoy your driving experience while also saving you tons of money on visits to the mechanic. Check out BP Impex for battery parts and Tata Indica parts.
