Show CartAccording to a leading manufacturer of car batteries, factory defect amounts to less than 7 percent of car battery malfunction. This is good news for battery manufacturers, as good car battery performance is just as important to the manufacturer as it is to the consumer. Problems during the battery warranty period, for example, tarnish customer satisfaction. Plus, any service requirement during that time is recorded and the number is published in trade magazines. This data on battery performance is of great interest among prospective car and battery buyers throughout the world.
Car battery malfunction is seldom caused by factory defect, and is most likely caused by consumer driving habits. Low charge and acid stratification are the most common causes of battery malfunction. When cars are driven for only short distances and mostly in congested, city traffic, for example, batteries never get fully charged and sulfation occurs. This problem is more common on large luxury cars offering power-hungry auxiliary options than on the more basic models. Heavy accessory power when driving short distances prevents a periodic fully saturated charge that is so important for the longevity of a lead acid battery.
