2. Starter solenoid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_solenoid

   If a starter solenoid receives insufficient power from the battery, it will fail to start the motor, and may produce a rapid clicking sound. The lack of power can be caused by a low battery, by corroded or loose connections in the battery cable, or by a damaged positive (red) cable from the battery. Any of these problems will result in some ...

3. Automotive battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_battery

   A typical 12 V, 40 Ah lead-acid car battery. An automotive battery, or car battery, is a rechargeable battery that is used to start a motor vehicle.. Its main purpose is to provide an electric current to the electric-powered starting motor, which in turn starts the chemically-powered internal combustion engine that actually propels the vehicle.

   The battery packs are produced by GS Yuasa, the same company that supplies the batteries for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, whose entire fleet was grounded in January 2013 for battery problems. The lithium-ion battery of an i-MiEV caught fire at the Mizushima battery pack assembly plant on March 18 while connected to a charge-discharge test equipment.

5. Environmental impacts of lithium-ion batteries - Wikipedia

   This type of battery is also referred to as a lithium-ion battery [1] and is most commonly used for electric vehicles and electronics. [1] The first type of lithium battery was created by the British chemist M. Stanley Whittingham in the early 1970s and used titanium and lithium as the electrodes.

6. Battery indicator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_indicator

   In battery types where EMF remains approximately constant during discharge, but resistance increases, voltage across battery terminals is not a good indicator of capacity. A meter such as an equivalent series resistance meter ( ESR meter ) normally used for measuring the ESR of electrolytic capacitors can be used to evaluate internal resistance ...

7. Lead–acid battery - Wikipedia

   Additionally, the battery can be installed in any orientation, though if it is installed upside down, then acid may be blown out through the overpressure vent. To reduce the water loss rate, calcium is alloyed with the plates; however, gas build-up remains a problem when the battery is deeply or rapidly charged or discharged.

8. Jump start (vehicle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_start_(vehicle)

   Boosting a dead battery through a battery charger can take anywhere from five to twenty minutes depending on the depth-of-discharge (DOD), health of the vehicle battery, and type of engine (engine displacement). AC power is not usually available for a roadside boost. Jump starters are portable battery devices that allow for jump starting of ...

9. Breakdown (vehicle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakdown_(vehicle)

   Vehicles fewer than five years old have a higher proportion of tire, key and fuel-related issues than older vehicles. [5] One in five service calls for a newer vehicle required a tow to a repair facility. [5] Vehicles between six and ten years old have the highest proportion of battery-related issues, as most batteries have a three-to-five-year ...
