Sometimes people who have cars do not necessarily wear them every day. Perhaps the more frequent means of transportation is motorcycles because it passes faster traffic jams and other reasons.Could also, the car idle because the owner more often ride motorcycle taxi online during the activity of five days in a week. Finally, cars spend more time at home and sometimes used only on weekends with family.
Unemployed cars may most of the spare parts even be more durable because it is rarely used. Especially if kept in the shade, as in the garage, and covered with car blankets.
Even so, there are still problems that often landed on idle cars, the battery is running out of electricity. Finally when it wants to turn on, the car engine will not turn on.
"Vehicle engine must be turned on, just 5-10 minutes if the car is not used," said Sujoko from Rocket Batery Indonesia.
What to do with the battery running out and heating the car idle 5-10 minutes?
Because the dynamo starter rely on electricity that stand by in the battery. Meanwhile, the electricity in the battery filled by the new alternator will work when the car engine is turned on.
However, because the car is not turned on still need a small electric current, then the electricity stored in the battery long over time also shrink and run out. The impact is no electricity available to start the engine.
One other thing is the buildup of mushrooms because of the tropical climate conditions in Indonesia. The effect is spotting or crust on the head of the battery or terminal head. The issue of this one also makes the car difficult starter.
"Often clean the terminal head. Indonesia hot right yes. Timah if taxable mushroom crusted right. If there is (spots) in white, the electricity faltered," he said.
