Problems quickly broken car batteries

Battery Manufacturers generally design their products - especially the wet batteries - has a lifetime up to two years. But not infrequently, consumers or the car battery car owners complain they have been worn only used one year though.

So what are the main cause rapid battery is damaged?

1. Late filling battery water

Reduced water is a normal battery. The reason, every time the car used in the process flow of electric current from the alternator charging the battery. At that point, the water evaporates, so that in time they will be reduced in number.
The function of water storage battery is to be the introduction of electric current supplied by the alternator to the battery cells. Therefore, if the cell is not under water, electric current charging process will not be maximal.
In addition, cells that are not under water, will quickly be damaged. Because the cell will be rapidly oxidized by acid content in the surrounding air mixed. As a result, rapid cell damage.
There are two causes of rapid decrease of water storage battery that is too often the driver stepped on the gas pedal deeply. Because at that moment stepped on the gas pedal in deeply, then also the process of charging electric current flowing from the alternator. The pressure inside the cell is also high, so the battery water evaporation occurs
Second, the temperature on the hood is too hot. In addition because the car is used continuously over long distances, as well as exposed to solar radiation.
Therefore it is advisable to fill the water battery at least once a month.

2. Weak alternator

Alternator or dynamo called the ampere is a device that functions as a generator that produces electric current alternating current (AC) and at the same time convert it to flow direct current (DC). This component is also a generator of electrical energy that is loaded into the battery.
In general, these devices are worn because of age or because of the use of certain factors (discussed in tempointeraktif.com, Wednesday (13 / 4). Alternator is still good general-voltage 13-14 volts when the ignition device is active and air-conditioning (AC) life.
When the alternator or dynamo ampere has been worn - so that the electric current generated is not stable - not immediately replaced or repaired it will have an impact on the battery.

3. V-belt problems

If the alternator is not problematic alias is still normal, but the level of V-belt tension is not right, it will trigger a rapid battery is damaged. Because the electric current supplied by the alternator to the device was not stable, sometimes flowed freely and often contracted as V-belt loose.
Vice versa, if the level of V-belt tension is too tight. Because, with V-belt tension level is high then the wheel turns in the alternator are also increasingly tight. As a result, the electric current generated well above average.
Thus, in addition to alternatornya easily damaged, the battery was also affected. Because electric current that is loaded into a larger battery

4. Excessive Use of electronic devices
Using electronic devices in cars that more and more manifold meaning also suck up more and more electrical current. If not matched by supply of electric current from the alternator to the battery, the battery will be quickly damaged.
Even though the additional power generation devices. Because the source of electric current remains the same alternator. Meanwhile, the alternator also has a certain maximum limit in accordance with the manufacturer's design.
Therefore, it is advisable to adjust the ability of the alternator when making modifications that require a lot of electric current intake

5. Short-circuits

Although not to cause fires and charred cars, events, short-circuits or shorted permanent effect on the battery. Although in some cases batteries can still be used even if the new car suffered electrical short circuit, the battery will not last long.
Therefore, as much as possible to avoid short-circuiting the car. How, diligently checking electrical wires and do not experiment create shortcut car electrical cable. Also check the cable connections and various electrical sockets.
