As soon as the thermometers approached zero, the starter would spin twice, and sometimes three times longer. Soldiers, convinced that it is in the electric motor itself or
It is the last month of autumn outside: the temperature has not yet had time to drop “below zero”, but the drivers have already experienced all the “charms” of the coming winter. Here’s a monstrous – for 50 cars – an accident in Moscow, and a long, wintery hard start of the engine every morning. Looks like it’s still November outside and the engine is waking up like on New Year’s holidays.
You solve this problem at the gas station, so the masters, having raised their eyebrows, explain everything with wear and tear and exhausted resources – they say that our cars have only aged a year. And of course they offer a profitable integrated solution: the battery is for replacement, the starter is for overhaul, the generator is for testing. For everything about everything – 15,000-20,000 rubles.
The owner of an extra “twenty” may be envied, and everyone else may be advised to open their eyes wider and examine the engine compartment carefully. Especially the place where the battery is located.
A dirty battery isn’t good, but it’s only half the effort. The condition of the terminals is also of great importance: if, for example, oxides appear on the mass, then the problem with a long engine start is located and solved in 5 minutes with two “smoke breaks”. And you can sort it out in the yard – from the inventory all you need is an old toothbrush and any available grease for contacts.
A simple theory to start with: First, plaque interferes with conductivity. The resistance in the circuit grows, a temporary current is created, the car starts worse. Secondly, it must be divided: plaque on the “plus” – these are symptoms of a malfunction of the generator and battery; oxides on the “minus” – and in our case they are – have nothing to do with the nodes and compositions: they usually appear as a result of poor contact. In addition, plaque can form as a result of electrolyte leakage. And don’t forget to check the “mass” mounting on the body.
And now to practice: we unscrew both terminals – first the “earth” and then the “red” – we pull out the entire battery and clean it from dirt. After a toothbrush – no skin needed, and even more iron bristles – we remove all oxides. And from the terminals, and from the contacts on the battery. After repairing the chain, we cover the “clips” with a lubricant that protects against external influences and thus against the formation of oxide. What kind of lubricant? Any suitable – depending on the financial capabilities and the range of the store.
The whole procedure takes 5 minutes, does not require experience, knowledge and special tools, and the effect of the implementation is noticeable with the naked eye. By the way, there is also a nice “bonus”: by performing such a manipulation, you can significantly increase the battery life.
