Automotive Battery Defects
When a car battery is defective, drivers are put in an extremely dangerous situation. Driving without a properly working battery can result in a number of serious problems. A loss of power is particularly dangerous as it can compromise a driver’s ability to safely operate a vehicle. This is due to the lack of electricity to power steering, power brakes, anti-lock brakes, and other essential systems.

Defects in Batteries
Battery defects can occur because of a variety of mechanical problems. Automotive batteries consist of a variety of parts that can be negatively affected by environmental concerns and poor manufacturing. The following battery problems may arise because a battery was negligently designed or manufactured:
- Cracked or defective terminals
- Corrosion damage
- Cell failures caused by positive and negative plate defects
- Low electrolyte levels
- Sulfation
These malfunctions can lead to a loss of power while on the road. If a vehicle is rendered inoperable, a motorist will be unable to control his or her automobile and may also be unable to take measure to avoid an impending collision.
