In the automotive world, there are many important components that support vehicle performance. The battery is one of the most important components in a vehicle's engine. Without a battery or if the battery is damaged, the vehicle will not operate as it should.

People often refer to problematic car batteries as a dead battery or a drained battery. But do you know the difference between a drained battery and a dead battery? Here we have prepared a complete review!

The Difference Between a Drained Battery and a Dead Battery That You Need to Know!

Is your vehicle often hard to start? Then you conclude that the battery is dead? But is it really dead? Is it not just a drained battery? To avoid misunderstanding, we have prepared the differences between a drained battery and a dead battery. Pay attention carefully!

Drained Battery

A drained battery is a condition where the battery is less than two years old but has already experienced difficulty starting the vehicle. This problem can occur because the battery is undercharged. Usually, this drained battery issue is caused by energy being wasted when the engine has not been running for a long time.

Dead Battery

A dead battery is a condition where the battery is quite old, or has been used for two years or more. If your vehicle is difficult to start due to this issue, it is normal because the battery is dead or has been damaged and can no longer be used.

It is quite easy to distinguish between a dead battery and a drained battery, right? You just need to know whether the vehicle that is hard to start is due to an old battery or because the vehicle is rarely used.

Battery issues greatly disrupt the function of the vehicle. In addition to reducing performance, it also makes the vehicle unusable until it is replaced with a new battery due to being dead, or recharged if it is in a drained state.

There are several important functions of the battery in the vehicle's engine. Here are those functions!

As an Energy Storage

In general, the main function of the battery is as an energy storage, as the battery is the power source of the vehicle. The energy stored in the battery is in the form of electrical energy that is chemical energy.

Supplying Energy to the Vehicle Starter

The energy produced to start the vehicle through the starter comes from the battery. If the battery has issues, it will definitely be difficult to start.

Supplying Energy to the Ignition System

The ignition system is a very important system in the engine. If there is a problem with the battery, this system will not ignite. And the vehicle will be hard to start.

Additionally, the battery also has the function of supplying energy to the lights, AC, and all other engine components. With a dead or drained battery, the vehicle's functions will be severely disrupted.
