How many kilometers does a car have to go after the consecutive start so that the starter battery can be fully charged?
If the starter battery is charged, after starting it is enough to go 3-5 km till it is fully charged. • 6. What should we do at low temperatures? At low temperatures the amount of released electricity decreases to 50% at outdoor air temperature of about -15C. This is due to the increase of the viscosity of the electrolyte and troubling the undergoing processes in the starter battery. For high quality work at low temperatures a starter battery has to be kept always charged. If it is left in charged condition with decreased density of the electrolyte, then there will be a possibility for freezing. When the engine is started under such condition for setting the electrolyte in motion you can switch on the head-lights several times in the course of 10 sec. and then start up the starter. • 7. What the proper maintenance of a starter battery should be so that it prolongs its lifespan? For maximum prolonging of the lifespan of a starter battery there are some basic rules that must be observed:
