Here are 5 ways to check the quality of a car's battery:
1. Check the battery's voltage: Use an effective meter to measure the battery's voltage. A healthy battery typically has a voltage of about 12.6 kg when the vehicle is not running. If the voltage was below 12.4 volt, the battery could have been weak.
2. Check for external condition: Observe the outer signs of the battery such as cracks, acid leaks, or dirt sticking to the stakes. These signs may indicate that the battery is broken or at risk of damage.
3. Check the battery's solution (for maintainable batteries): If your battery is maintainable, check the solution (acid) in the battery's compartments. The solution level is too low, which can make the battery ineffective. Make sure the solution is filled if needed.
4. Check the connecting deposits: Check the deposits of the battery to ensure they are not rusty or loose. Loose or leaking stakes can reduce battery performance and prevent the vehicle from starting.
5. Check the vehicle's start-up capability: If your vehicle has difficulty starting or the headlights are blurred when you turn on the switch, this could be a sign that the battery is weak or broken. In this case, you should check the battery and replace it if necessary.
