Eight reasons why car batteries fail:
- Short-circuited cell due to failure of the separator between the positive and negative plates.
- Short-circuited cell or cells due to a build-up of shed plate material below the plates.
- Sulfation after a long period of disuse in a low- or no-charge state.
- Corrosion or damage to the positive and negative terminals.
- Broken internal connections as a result of corrosion.
- Broken plates due to corrosion and vibration.
- Damage to the battery case.
- Low electrolyte (fluid) level.
