During daylight hours, the current in the battery will last for a limited time, despite the fact that the electronic ignition / injection system needs a minimum current, as well as an electric fuel pump. In addition, the battery is often only 2/3 charged.
And yet, depending on the capacity of the battery, the current is enough for about a five-hour trip. In winter it is more difficult, because The battery does not respond well to cold. In addition, you need light much earlier. Power saving is important:
- Don't stop moving for no reason. The starter consumes especially a lot of energy. If possible, push the car.
- Do not turn on the heated rear window, air blower and radio.
- Be as economical as possible with your windshield wiper.
- Drive at night without high beams and fog lights.
- Unscrew the wires from the alternator and insulate them separately so that the battery cannot be discharged due to a defective alternator or voltage regulator.
