Reasons Behind the Illumination of Battery Light on the Dashboard of a Car

When you are driving a car, you have to pay attention to the signals that your vehicle is sending you. Battery warning light is one of those glowing symbols that can never be taken for granted. An illuminated battery warning light indicates that the vehicleu2019s accumulator is not healthy enough to hold charge for a longer period of time. Bad battery, bad alternator belt, faulty alternator, corroded battery terminal- are the prominent causes of illumination of battery light on the dashboard. Find the cause, fix the issue, and replace the battery if needed in order to make your ride safe and trouble-free.

  1. REASONS BEHIND THE ILLUMINATION OF BATTERY LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD OF A CAR

  2. A person should pay close attention to the dashboard warning lights of a car.

  3. Illumination of such warning lights on the dash indicates that certain components of the car have faults.

  4. Such early warning system helps a lot to detect and fix the problems in time.

  5. Emergence of battery light shows that the charging system has faults.

  6. So, the unavailability of a sufficient amount of electrical energy to recharge a battery could trigger the battery light to come on.

  7. FAULTY ALTERNATOR OLD OR PROBLEMATIC BATTERY CAUSES OF THE CAR BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATION CRACKED OR LOOSEN ALTERNATOR BELT FAULTS IN THE WIRING SYSTEM

  8. FAULTY ALTERNATOR

  9. Most of the car uses a 12V battery which is completely able to fulfill the energy requirement of the vehicle.

  10. The alternator should be able to generate about 13.5 V to 14. 5 V to keep the battery properly charged.

  11. A faulty alternator could not generate the required amount of energy which could trigger the battery light to illuminate.

  12. So, a volt test should be conducted to detect and fix the errors in the alternator.

  13. OLD OR PROBLEMATIC BATTERY

  14. The primary job of a battery is to store the electrical energy in the form of chemical energy.

  15. However, a lot of factor including environmental temperature affects the storage ability of a battery.

  16. Aging is another factor that adversely affects the battery.

  17. So, a battery should be replaced after a certain time interval as recommended in the owner’s manual.

  18. CRACKED OR LOOSEN ALTERNATOR BELT

  19. Alternator belt plays a crucial role in the generation of electrical power.

  20. However, the development of cracks or reduction of elasticity of the alternator belt adversely affects its ability of electricity generation.

  21. So, such a cracked alternator belt should be replaced with a suitable substitute.

  22. FAULTS IN THE WIRING SYSTEM

  23. Faults in the wires which connect the alternator with the battery could also be responsible for the illumination of battery light.

  24. So, routine inspection of the wiring system is really necessary to spot and fix the problems in time.

  25. FINALLY

  26. If the alternator fails to recharge a battery or the battery fails to store the electrical energy for future use, then it could bring down the vehicle to a halt.

  27. So, illumination of the battery light should not be overlooked.

  28. Timely action should be taken to fix the errors responsible for the appearance of battery light.
