I bought a vacuum cleaner and attached it to my car while my car was ignited, I used the vacuum cleaner and the battery died
So I bought a vacuum cleaner , the next day I tried it on my car ( my car was ignited and ready to go ) the suction was not good at all . I then tried a samsung charger as well it was working fine . I then turned off my vehicle and went back to home . After a few hours I tried to turn my car back on but I couldn't ignite it so I turned everything off and went back home to tell my family I got back to the car in hardly 5 minutes and successfully ignited it . At my aunt's place ( where I was going when I failed to ignite once) I tried to start it but it was same so I jump started it the

Hello and thank you for your question. It seems that the battery in your vehicle has a low charge and probably has an overcharged cell. I recommend replacing your battery then re-testing to see if it keeps on starting up. As far as trying to start the vehicle like a manual, on an automatic transmission, that will not work for the transmission will have not oil pressure to the clutch packs. The engine must be running to create the oil pressure to make the clutch packs inside the transmission work. If you need assistance with your battery, I recommend seeking out a professional, preferably one from YourMechanic to help you with your vehicle.
How to Identify and Fix Common car Problems ?

Most vacuum cleaners connect to the 12V socket in the vehicle dashboard and offer sufficient power to remove dust, dirt, fine particles, etc. At the same time, the vacuum cleaner should not drain the car battery as it may cause starting troubles if overused.
In short, it depends on how much power your vaccum draws and how long you take to vacuum the car. As an example, if you have a 100AH battery and your vacuum draws 5A, you could theoretically run the vacuum for 20 hours before fully depleting the battery (assuming it is in good shape to start with).
Some cars will get up to five or six years out of their battery, while others will need a new one after only two years. In general, your car will usually need a new battery after three to four years. Replacing your car battery is another part of routine maintenance.
If you use the wrong size battery, this could cause changes in the flow of electrical currents, resulting in power surges that can damage the onboard computers or other components.
Yes, battery corrosion is dangerous. Battery corrosion is caustic and can irritate or burn your skin or eyes if they`re exposed to it. Battery corrosion left unchecked can also lead to further damage to your car that will be more expensive to repair the longer you wait.
No. Car batteries differ in multiple ways to work with different vehicle`s specifications, and they are generally year, make, model-specific. Many car batteries do have one important similarity in how they work.
A: you can use 1.5 hp 1 gallon shop vac with a 1000 watt inverter, would work just fine. a 1.5 hp 1 gallon shop vac would do a really nice job vacuuming out your car, even much better than car washes.
The average Honda car battery lasts between two to five years, so there`s a pretty good chance that your first replacement will be covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Car batteries generally last between three to five years, depending on your climate and how many accessories rely on your car battery. If your car battery begins to die, you can often look for warning signs to prevent getting stranded.
“Electrical devices or lights left running, a defective charging system or alternator, and extreme weather are some common reasons but maybe it`s just time to get a new battery.”
Be careful not to let the wrench touch both the negative and positive terminals simultaneously, as it could create a spark, cause the battery to short out, or even damage the engine`s computer or the vehicle`s electrical system. With the negative cable set to the side, repeat the process with the positive cable.
You can also try to replace the acid inside a battery and mix a new acid with the distilled water. Then, recharge the battery for a few hours. In any case, you will get a new battery that can last for a long time.
DO NOT use a mixture of water and baking soda to clean battery terminals. Now take a container of water and use a soft brush to apply the water gently to the rings of baking soda, avoid splashing the mix around as much as possible.
Normal Engine Operation
At idling speed, an engine at sea level should show a steady vacuum reading between 14 in. and 22 in. Hg. A quick opening and closing of the throttle should cause the vacuum to drop below 5 in., then rebound to 23 in. or more.
The Dyson V10 cordless is a 2-in-1 vacuum that doubles as a stick vacuum as well as a portable handheld, which works great for cleaning your car.
The battery compartment and holders in your vehicle are designed for a specific battery size, nothing more, nothing less. Attempting to use a larger battery and either forcing it into place or using alternative means to hold it in place can potentially cause structural damage to the battery or the car.
Maybe you`ve noticed signs that your battery is dying but haven`t had time to resolve the issue. If your battery fails to charge while driving, but the alternator is functioning properly, the car may continue running while in transit. However, you may not be able to start your vehicle after it`s powered off.
Generally, you should not use an inverter larger than 400 watts with a car or truck starter battery. So, if your only power source is your car`s starter battery, you won`t be able to operate power tools with your inverter.
Suction Power
It can vary between 250W and 600W. We recommend no less than 350W. Usually, the suction power depends on the motor power, but it is not always the case. There are car vacuum models on the market that have a smaller motor power (i.e., consume less electricity), but still offer great suction.
A universal motor is typically used as suction motor across vacuum cleaners. The universal motor is a series DC-motor that is specially designed to operate on alternating current (AC) as well as on direct current (DC).
To begin, set the multimeter to 20 DC volts. Then, place the negative battery terminal against the negative meter probe. Likewise, touch the positive battery terminal to the positive meter probe. From there, you`ll see a number illuminate on the multimeter screen, which provides you with the battery`s charge reading.
How often should you replace your Honda CR-V battery? Every 3 to 5 years, but you should have your battery tested frequently for drops in voltage to make fearless it`s operating at a high level.
That`s good news for most drivers, who will most likely be selling their vehicle well before the original hybrid battery needs to be replaced. If you drive a fully electric vehicle, you could have as long as 20 years before needing to replace the battery.

I have changed the car battery on my Renault Grand Scenic and used the car that day on the sunday. However 3 days later the car wo
ANSWER : Hello, thank you for writing in. If the new battery has also failed to hold a charge, the alternator is likely not working correctly. You can test the alternator at home with a voltmeter, or you can remove it and have it tested at most automotive parts stores. It will need to be replaced if it has failed. You will also want to make sure all of the electrical connections are clean, dry, and tight. For more help testing or replacing the alternator, contact our service department to schedule an appointment.
Car ignition switch only recieving less then a volt from battery wire. Fuse, ground, battery are good. Manual Car 97 civic.
ANSWER : Hi there. The first thing I would inspect is the ignition relay; as usually this is the culprit of partial electrical delivery to the ignition cylinder. However, it is possible that an exposed wire inside the steering column or ignition lock cylinder could be causing this problem as well. It might save you a lot of trouble, stress and money to have one of our mobile mechanics come to your location and complete an electrical problems inspection to isolate the source of this problem and recommend the right repairs.
Water was spilled in the trunk which soaked the car battery. Car won’t start now. Does water destroy a car battery?
ANSWER : Hi, thanks for writing in about the concern with the BMW 320i. If the battery was submerged in water then it’s completely possible for the battery to short out and die. Your friend will need to have the battery replaced. Also be sure to get all of the water out of the trunk. Have a certified technician, like one from YourMechanic, help you guys out if you need assistance with replacing the battery. Good luck.
When changing the car battery, do you "register" the battery to the car computer?
ANSWER : Hi there. Changing the battery has nothing to do with programming a battery. If the car was flat dead with a battery that lost all of the power because the dome light was on, then when jumped the vehicle will run fine. What may need programmed when the battery is replaced is the key fob. The key fob will lose programming to the computer as the vehicle computer is reset. However, if a 9 volt battery saver was put into a cigarette lighter and the car battery was removed, then the computer will not lose its memory and be just fine. If you need further assistance with your battery, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
My battery light is on.
ANSWER : The problem is not the battery, but the charging system is not keeping the battery recharged. The alternator is the most common cause of this, though failing battery cables can also be a cause. I would recommend having the battery cables and alternator tested and checked by a mechanic, like one from YourMechanic, who will come to you and diagnose the problem for you. Do not try and drive it or it will leave you stranded from the battery going dead again. The cables to the battery from the alternator may be bad or the alternator is not charging. Only the testing and diagnosis will reveal the problem.
Car died while driving so I replaced the alternator and battery and car won’t attempt to turn over. What else could it be?
ANSWER : The initial failure was likely caused by a sudden fuel system (e.g., failed fuel pump) or electrical (including ignition) faiure. Prior to performing diagnostics be sure you have a fully charged battery that passes a load test. Then, confirm that the engine immobilizer system (security system) is not activated thus preventing the car from starting. If the starter motor is not functioning, check for power to the starter motor when the key is held in the "start" position. If there a large voltage drop at the starter motor or no power at all, you may have a faulty ignition switch but you do have to check out the entire starter circuit, which includes grounds, wiring (some of which is very heavy cabling), fuses, relays, the ignition switch and terminations. On the other hand, if the starter motor is getting power but the starter doesn’t work, then the starter is condemned and replaced. If you desire that a certified mechanic resolve this, please simply request a no start diagnostic and the responding certified mechanic will get the problem diagnosed and repaired for you. Please let us know if you have further concerns or questions as we are always here to help you.
My car will not start Intermittently. I purchased a new battery 2 weeks ago and yesterday the car wouldn’t start. Got a jump and
ANSWER : The issue you are having is probably due to an intermittent fault in the starter motor itself or a deficiency in the starter electrical circuit, for example a large voltage drop due to a poor ground or a high resistance connection. These issues can be readily diagnosed and resolved on a mobile basis if you request a hard starting diagnostic. If you request that diagnostic, the responding certified mechanic will get this resolved for you promptly. Based on Toyota’s Factory Service Manual, the battery should not be disconnected if the vehicle engine is running. The battery acts as a large resistive voltage sink and consequently taking the battery out of the circuit, while the alternator is still running, can create a voltage spike on the car’s electrical system which is not good for voltage sensitive components such as the engine computer. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic as we are always here to help you.
