It happens that at the most inopportune moment your car does not start due to the fact that the battery is discharged. Do not panic. It is not at all necessary to call a tow truck for help in order to take the car for repair. You are able to handle the problem yourself.
Often such a nuisance happens in winter: you need to drive, but the battery is dead, and the car refuses to start. What to do in such a situation? Of course, you can call a tow truck, take the car to a car service, experts will take out the battery and recharge it. But all this is fraught with very considerable financial costs.
Everything can be made easier, without having to spend money, at least not so much. You can also charge the battery from another vehicle. If there is a road nearby, brake a car and ask for help. Otherwise, start the car, let's say, manually. Ask passers-by to nudge you. After acceleration, squeeze the clutch all the way, then turn the key in the ignition lock, while simultaneously shifting to second gear. The car will start. The remaining charge of a dead battery will be enough to get to the nearest car service. But in no case turn off the engine, otherwise you will no longer start the car this way.
If you have your own battery charger at home, then you can use it. Just be careful. The distilled water will begin to heat up and vaporize. Because of this, the walls of the battery will expand. Bolts may knock out. Therefore, it is recommended to unscrew them before starting charging, and cover them with an ordinary white sheet, pressing down with a book.
Please note that often imported batteries have a top cover that must be removed and then the bolts must be unscrewed. Do not assume that if the body is solid, then it does not hold on to anything. In any case, the bolts will be.
In order not to get into such unpleasant situations, do not overload the battery, you need to take care of it. Do not constantly turn on the light in the cabin, the air conditioner, do not drive with long-range dimensions for a long time - the load is great. In winter, it is recommended to take out the battery and take it home, where nothing will happen to it in the warmth.
