Many of us have seen our parents start a car with a dead battery by pushing it. The truth is that it is a technique in use since there is the internal combustion engine in the car. Although we can do it, it does not mean that we should, as this puts the catalyst at severe risk.

The car battery is one of those parts that many people know, but (although some interventions can be carried out by the vehicle owner, such as using starter clamps) it takes experience to carry out a thorough check of the battery, since that many factors intervene in the state of it, such as:

• Antiquity
• Voltage
• Corrosion
• Deposits
• Electrolyte density
• Temperature

Do not hesitate to come to Talleres Tot Nivell in our workshop in El Arenal if your battery is more than 4 years old, you detect corrosion on its terminals, leaks, the car “stalls” in the middle of operation or your vehicle has an electronic module that requires reconfiguration after removing the battery.
