There are numbers of reasons why batteries can weaken and fail. A few common ones include:
- Leaving headlights, interior lights, flashers, and the radio on when the car isn't running.
- Using the air conditioner when the car is not running.
- Not starting a car for long periods of time (e.g., while it's in storage).
- Lack of battery maintenance (e.g., not keeping terminals clean).
- Failure of the diode bridge or voltage regulator in the alternator; the alternator charges the battery when the car is running.
- Low air temperature, which causes batteries to freeze.
