Maintenance and self-service

4. Identify the cause of the blown fuse and correct the fault; 5. Install a new fuse. Battery Battery self-discharge

The battery will self-discharge, and even if left in an open circuit for over two months, its power will be noticeably depleted. Battery self-discharge is influenced by factors such as temperature and storage conditions.  The higher the temperature, the greater the rate of self-discharge.  Loose connections at the battery terminals and an unclean battery surface can expedite self discharge.  High humidity and dust in the storage area can hasten battery self-discharge. Methods to reduce battery self-discharge  Ensure the battery terminals are securely connected.  After vehicle use, ensure it is promptly locked.  Maintain a clean battery surface.  If the vehicle is unused for an extended period, disconnect the battery sensor from the negative terminal to prevent depletion from static current.  For short daily mileage or prolonged parking, regularly fully charge the battery externally.  Do not make unauthorized modifications or add electrical devices to avoid increased static current causing battery depletion.  If starting issues arise, promptly visit an authorized service center for battery testing and external full charging to avoid reduced battery life.  Avoid prolonged use of in-car electrical devices when the battery SOC is low. Battery power loss The primary causes of battery power loss  Power consumption from continuous-use devices, like anti-theft alarms.  Electrode poor insulation in vehicle components leads to leakage.  Power loss from static and leakage currents when the negative terminal is not disconnected.  Unauthorized modification or addition of devices, increasing static current and power loss.  Operating in-car electricals (like stereo, headlights, lighter, AC) without high voltage activation.
