Auto starter for the car in the cold time. Engine start secrets in any frost. How to properly start a carburetor engine

With the onset of cold, the familiar lottery begins - the motor starts or not? In addition to the problems of a purely technical, in bad starts there may be the share of the guilt of the driver itself. Disassemble typical errorswho complicate the life of newcomers to motorists.

About sluggish ride

If your rhythm of life implies short-term trips and long dairy on idling (for example, in a permanent stopper), the engine of the winter is carried out in an immentable state. Candles and cylindro-piston group are contaminated, and the battery charging is worse. Problems arise not immediately, but they have the property to accumulate.

Plan a route to heat the engine to warm up. In winter, it is harmless to make trips on the highway: at high load, self-cleaning of the combustion chamber occurs. Before setting up for the night parking, move for some time on low gears, holding a high frequency (say, 3-4 thousand rpm).

And if we started the motor in the winter, but for some reason I change my mind, let him warm up before joining.

Autostat with foaming

The autorun is good for everyone - it will make both the motor, and the interior. The problem is that the "intelligence" of the autorun system is very modest, so it takes a fixed number of attempts to a certain duration, and if the motor failed to rip out - just surrender. And when you come to the car, the candles are already filled, the battery is suitable and the launch of the "inrup" is often no longer possible.

Examine the habits of your autorun system: sometimes in strong frosts it is more profitable to draw the motor manually to the motor. Man, even a smartly serious, feels a car better system autorun. Sometimes, to revive the motor, it is enough to twist it with an extra couple of seconds.

By the way, if candles flooded, there is a small lifehak: Drink the gas pedal and cool the starter. Fuel supply in this case will turn off, and clean air blows the candle. But first make sure that this mode is implemented on your car model.

Battery is not fire

What is interesting, the battery often dies without in winter, and in the summer. It is discharged, listening to music with a muffled motor or highlighting the headlights of the catch. But if the seven-minded battery is not noticeable, then the problem is exposed to the first cold.

Signs of the "dead" battery are known: the starter turns sluggish or does not twist at all, and the instrument panel and lighting will fade.

The battery can be reduced, but if the destruction of the plates began - it is better to change. The diagnosis in any specialized firm will help determine.

Charging the battery takes about a day, and in a good company you will be offered a replaceable battery.

Incomplete refueling

Water in fuel usually falls ... from the air. Condensate can accumulate in the reservoirs of the gas station itself or fuel tank car.

The formation of condensate, by the way, contributes to the incomplete fueling of fuel: that is, when you pour out 5-10 liters at a time. The moisture condenses on the walls and flows down, accumulating at the bottom of the tank. In addition to corrosion parts, water can complicate the starts, simply freezing in filters and pipelines. In critical cases, special additives are used to remove water - fuel dryers.

Does the quality of fuel affect its launchers? Partly yes. For example, gasoline is divided into grades in evaporation, and in the fall of gas stations in the fall of gasoline with an elevated content of volatile fractions.

But still there are more problems with fuel quality for diesel engines: winter varieties are not sick of paraffin, so temptation use the non-seasonal fuel is much higher than with gasoline. In the offseason, you can use special depressor additives that do not give fuel to turn into jelly.

In any case, in winter, it is necessary to choose a gas station in winter, preferring the known refueling, and not "nunneumam". And refueling better until the full tank - there will be less condensate.

How to start competent

By car S. mechanical box It is better to squeeze the clutch - it will reduce the load on the starter at the time of the start.

Sometimes before starting, they advise you to turn on the headlights for several seconds to warm up the battery, but the benefits of such a method have not been proven.

Turning on the ignition, do not twist the motor immediately: many models at this moment the fuel pumps fuel at this moment. Lose a couple of seconds.

If the frost is strong, and you prefigge problems, the launch algorithm is important. Do not make too short attempts - every failure leads to accumulation in the combustion chamber of the fuel condensate, which, in the end, sooner or later, the candles will fill. But also to twist the motor to the victorious is not necessary at once: if in the first attempt he did not start in 10-12 seconds, take a pause and try again.

If the frost is not extreme (say, up to 25-27 degrees), but the engine will not start even with the third attempt, the problem is most likely in the technical condition: a weak battery, contaminated nozzles, too viscous oil, bad candles.

But do not wait for the car impossible: let's say, most of the manufacturers in principle do not guarantee cold starts at temperatures below -30 degrees without specialized.

Radically, the problem of cold starts decide preheaters, fuel or electric, but they are expensive and not always justified. Compromise solution - autorun with time or temperature sensor. True, it leads to fuel consumption and is not always useful for the motor.

How often do you experience problems with launching in the winter in recent years?

• Never
• Sometimes it starts hard, but starts
• Several times a year I can't run without tricks
• Regularly

With the onset of winter colds in front of many car owners there is a problem: how to start? Probably there is not a single driver who would not ask to "see" with a sudden stop of the battery no one is insured. The reasons for the discharge and breakage of the batteries set. Before deciding to concrete actions, it is necessary to get acquainted with everyone.

Causes of the Sorting Battery

There may be several of them:

1. Expiration of the battery life;
2. Battery breakdown;
3. Untimely recharging battery;
4. Incorrect operation, frequent recharging.

How to start it? What if the battery car sat on the middle of the way? These questions are worried many. Most batteries lose their charge in the cold. This contributes to a sharp change in temperature conditions. Student is time to favor the device does not go. This is especially true for cars that are on the street for a long time. Also important to operate in the cold season has a load.

If the load is excessive, it is natural that the device will be discharged faster, and this will lead to a decrease in its shelf life. You can exit such a position.

We extend the life of AKB

Methods of minimizing battery output:

• proper operation of a vehicle that provides for the proper care for it at minus temperatures. In other words, the car at low temperatures can be left in the cold only if the battery is removed from it;
• do not leave transport for a long time unattended;
• when the battery is discharged, it is necessary to provide an emergency charging method or have a spare;
• you can try to "searcate" the engine or ask for it to make other car enthusiasts;
• use special for fast

There are cases when it is impossible to count on someone's help and only a special device can help. Therefore, the best way out of this situation is the one-time cost of funds for the purchase of charger.

Devices for starting the engine with a sex battery can be diverse:

• asian origin;
• european;
• cIS countries.

Sometimes a launching device for the car is called booster. Missing people consider it auxiliary device.

But they are deeply mistaken. This is a completely separate equipment with certain qualitative characteristics:

• its capacity is much less than the usual battery;
• the internal "filling" is also different;
• gives another voltage.

Connecting a device for starting the engine with a sex battery involves connecting it to power aggregate vehicle. This booster is only suitable for cars, since the power to use it must be about 12 V.

How to use the device?

Tricks on use:

1. The process of operation of the device for starting the engine with a sex battery involves the "crocodiles" in the severity of the battery, as a result of which an electric current will appear. The rules for using devices each manufacturer are different. Therefore, before its use, it is necessary to carefully read the instructions, and only after that take measures.
2. Running the device should not harm the battery. One-time impact on the battery should not exceed ten seconds.
3. Charging works only from the mains. Therefore, if the trouble happens on the road, only the cigarette lighter can help.
4. When operating the booster is contraindicated to leave the device in the cold for a long time.

Exceptions are professional and semi-professional devices, which are used by specialists from the car service.

Functional features of the device

If you decide to purchase charger, the best option will be the device that contains the indicator of the battery indicator.

In the absence of this functional, it will be difficult to use a trigger for a car. How to choose it? When buying a device for starting the engine with a sex battery, you need to pay attention to the following indicators:

• the device must have built-in protection against discharge zero, since such a device will serve much longer;
• the possibility of further charging;
• the power of the acquired device must be appropriate.

To avoid trouble, purchase equipment in specialized stores, which will be able to provide relevant quality and safety documentation. Only in this way you can protect yourself and your transport.

How is the process with a device for quick engine start?

To begin, it is necessary to know that when connected, the correctness of the polarity should be observed.

The next step should be to control a certain voltage stream, which should be equal to 20 A. Depending on the battery, certain errors may be observed, but they must be minimal.

As the battery is charging, the following states may be observed:

• reduction of electrolyte viscosity;
• falling internal resistance;
• growth of the battery starter capacity.

If you have turned on the battery starter, the battery has been fully charged, then the voltage at its outputs should quickly achieve the necessary indicators and recharge it is not recommended. At the same time, you should pay your attention to turning on the starter of the charging and starting device. If, after the measures taken, your vehicle Still, it did not start - turn off the ignition, and provide him with a little rest.

Practice shows that after this rest, the battery voltage will begin to increase and after the transition of a certain technical characteristics An indicator, you can think about re-charging. If the experiment accepted a positive turnover - disconnect the device from the battery. This action should not be ignored, because parallel work can help reload the battery. This will negatively affect the operability of the car.

be careful

After several inefficient attempts of the engine plant, it is worth stopping any work in this direction and try to find a breakdown problem in another. Otherwise, you simply break the equipment and starter, they will fail as a result of overload.

The second option to solve the indicated problem will be the appeal to the auto repair shop, equipped with modern technician, which in the shortest possible time will be able to diagnose and find the cause.

Actions with long batter

If you have become a question of starting the battery after a long downtime, you need to own the following knowledge:

1. We bring the car after a long idle carefully, carefully.
2. What does the previous action mean? This means that the idle period of 3 months will not affect the battery. And in the case of a longer idle time, you will have to hold a specific set of events, namely the verification of the vital components.

After that you need to do right choice Charger.

The safest method is to use a quick engine starter. To date, this is the most recent achievement of equipment in the world of automotive. This device can pass through itself a fairly large stream of energy. This is the amount of energy enough for a full charge of the engine.

Terms of Use

When working with such equipment, you must remember the following. If you start the car after a long downtime, you will have to remove the battery from the vehicle and carry out a full charge. It is important not to recharge the battery. Otherwise, it will boil, which is not the best way to reflect on its functionality. By time, high-quality batteries are charged from 1 to 2 hours. Maximum voltage - 12.5-13 V. With a smaller value, the machine simply does not start, with more - hurt the battery.

Conclusion

Indeed, it is not difficult to doubt the abilities of this baby to launch the engine of the car, if you get used to charging a heavy battery. The device is light and compact - some smartphones will be bigger today ...

The basis of the gadget is a lithium-iron-phosphate battery, referred to as "Lithium Ferrum" or "Lifer" in common. This type of batteries is relatively new, in mass consumer devices, it began to meet only in the past few years. Its characteristic of his feature is the ability to give huge currents even at low tanks.

Inside the device we tested, the same "Lifer" with a capacity of only ... 3 amp-hour (black briquette with a fist), a microprocessor module of its charge and control modes, plus a powerful reversing relay and KZ, 12 volt converting module in 5 USB volts for smartphones charge, as well as a board with 4 LEDs - flashlight.

"Curious" wires with "crocodiles" are connected to a powerful device connector.

"Crocodiles" are made very high quality - springs tight, the wires are soldered, their braid is clamped, preventing loosening and lambing. Wire section - 8.5 mm 2 - These allow us to transfer a long-term current of 50-60 amps and briefly - several times more.

Both "teeth" each« crocodile »Interconnected with a jumper wire to increase contact area

The two USB connections hiding under the rubber lids allow you to charge smartphones and tablets - and quite quickly, since the output current can reach 2.4 amps. A connector located next to them the charge connector of the Bustra itself is only microusb. However, its silenk is more than enough - a 50% boum battery double-handed USB adapter fills up to 100% in about a couple of hours.

The built-in flashlight is not a masterpiece, of course, but still not bad. Plus he has two modes of operation - emergency flasher and permanent light. For long winter evenings, he may be quite by the way.

Engine starting

The device has two start modes - "Start Engine" and "Override". Let's try both alternately.

"START ENGINE"– 270 amperes

If a regular battery of the car is still trying to twist the engine, it gives some "soblips" or at least "crack" starter relay - it is assumed that he is not completely dead and he just needs to help. In this case, press the "Start Engine" button.

In this mode, the booster has protection on its terminals at the limit of about 270 amps. If the current exceeds the permissible one, or you accidentally close the crocodiles, or a short circuit will be in a defective starter - not trouble, protection will work, and the internal relay will turn off the positive booster terminal from its inner battery, saving it from unmanaged heating and destruction.

In this mode, you can "torment" booster many times - until complete emptying. Of course, with intervals for cooling the battery, which the gadget provides independently, by timer, focusing on its own temperature sensor.

Override 400 amp

If the voltage on the vehicle's regular battery is below 2 volts - that is, it is empty, the booster will show the word "Connecting" on the display - this means that you need to click on the Override key. The fact is that here already "starting" does not help the car ripped off the battery, and fully works for it.

The current in this mode is very high and close to the short circuit current for the booster. Accordingly, the protection of 270 amps is deactivated. In this case, it is impossible to allow a random short circuit of the terminals - the booster must be connected carefully and do not drop the "crocodiles". Plus, in Overdride, it is undesirable to "scale" the starter too long - if the motor does not start after a pair of receptions for a few seconds, it is better to stop attempts - the machine will not start explicitly not only because of the seed battery.

Real tests

Actually, check ParkCity GP24 on the rumped battery of the machine we will not even become - when "cracking" and light bulbs on dashboard Still glow, the battery requires not so radical help. Let's save time and we assume that the test in such conditions the gadget was an advance payment, going to more serious tests - the engine starts clean from the booster, with a completely empty battery.

Since the editorial battery in complete order, I don't want to discharge it for the sake of the experiment - it is not useful for the battery. Therefore, we simply turn it off. To do this, remove the positive terminal from the battery and connect to it directly the advantage of the booster terminal.

Note that the engine operation with a fully disconnected standard battery may be unsafe for the electrical equipment of the machine. But for the purity of the experiment, we still risk! To reduce the risk, after starting the motor, the second helper will immediately pop up the plus terminal back to the battery.

We do this:

Outside Minus 13, VW Polo car, engine 1.6, gasoline, butter - synthetics. The first start attempt did not work - unsuccessfully connected the positive terminal, the contact area was small, the starter lacked the current. Let's move the "crocodiles" by seeking a dense clamp, and make five launches in a row without battery in general - the starter twists, the engine starts! On the booster after such bullying remains 50% of the charge!

1 / 2

2 / 2

Having charged the device up to 100%, we went through the courtyards of the city, looking for cars with raised hoods and offering them free services Start. There are no batteries on here, the gadget cling to the batteries parallel. With booster were also launched:

Renault Duster., 1.6 liters, gasoline

Volkswagen Tiguan., 2.0 liters

Where is the limit of opportunities?

According to the test results, the site came to such conclusions:

• With the volume of the engine up to two liters, the booster will successfully cope with the start of serviceable gasoline and diesel carEven if on the street frost, and the battery is discharged to "zero" to the state of non-rigging lamps on the dashboard.
• With the volume of the engine more than two liters - here everything is already in situations ... Chances of 50/50, and they depend on the mass of factors.

The fact is that the latitudes on the terminals are sharply increasingly increasingly increasingly increase the temperature of the environment, the oil density, the temperature of the booster itself - if it is a little frozen, the return will noticeably decrease. And then the launch of the question ... can run, and may not run.

Turn the vehicle will help the start charger. Until recently, these boosters were pretty large boxes inside which the classic was hidden lead batteryBut with a sufficient starter. There were no wide distribution such aggregates, because they still need not so often, and their volume and weight they have significant. The thing is, as they say, useful, but not very comfortable.

But here the engineers came up with an impressive amount of energy from the small volume of the battery. So there are sources of new generation power supplies, more convenient in use: lithium-polymer (Li-PO) batteries. It is this technology that is now used in the manufacture of most compact starting devices, allowing you to achieve large starting currents, which are known, and are needed to start the engine.

Currently, few people will surprise such a device. On the shelves of stores are presented quite a few launchers of small sizes. However, they are more perceived by buyers as a campaign battery for feeding various electronics, and only in the form of add-ons - as a start-up for a car engine. And all because due to insufficient power, these devices often simply are unable to start the Middle Car Motor with an engine volume of more than 2 liters at minus temperatures.

Berkut trademark, known for its professional line automotive compressors and accessories released a whole model range of SMART POWER packaged devices for emergency launch of vehicle engines in emergency situations and in cases of a regular battery failure.

1–1 (3)

With their help, you can start any vehicle in any emergency situations. These powerful external power sources are able to "give Pink" a car even with a fully discharged battery. SMART POWER start-up device developers adapted them as much as possible to work with the car, perfectly realizing that the larger the strength that the starter requires to turn the ice engine, the sure the launch will be. Compared to competitive models sMART POWER launchers have powerful batteries. So, for example, the model SP-4500 with a capacity of 4500 mA. h gives at the start the maximum starting current of 405 A, and the SP-9000 MA model. C currents in 1000 A. Powerful terminals crocodiles with increased contact area are connected to devices through a professional power connector. Wires have a solid cross section and made of 100% copper! The resource of a fully charged booster is calculated at least 10 starts at the ambient temperature to -30 ° C.

2-2_sp4500_insert.

In addition, devices have a thought-out circuitry of an electronic board that ensures maximum use of use. All SMART POWER starts have ten degrees of protection:

1. from overload;
2. from recharging;
3. from discharge;
4. from overheating;
5. from the reverse current;
6. from overvoltage;
7. from short circuit;
8. from cakes;
9. from simultaneous charging and discharge;
10. from sparking.

The control panel has a logical interface of the operation and large buttons for the convenience of using the device in winter in dense gloves.

Do not forget about the possibility of recharging mobile devices Using USB output (5V, 2,0A). Starts are charged both from the usual network of 220 V and from the onboard network of cars 12 V.

Such modern launchers will be

Winter, cold, lonely at home and ... Big Cute Snow Sugarbike on the place where you left your car yesterday. Say: So does not happen! Still as happens! Winter is time unpredictable. Maybe, to a vehicle closed in a snowy snowdrift and will not reach, but still, the car, stood a few hours on a strong frost, is unlikely to become.

So, the freelance situation: Frost's courtyard - your car semi-limit. Or is it all seeding? Be an optimist - hope for fortune.

Large luck, if you took the battery in the evening and held it at home, but if this capricious part of the car did not warm at home, then it is better not attempting to immediately start the car - take care of the charge!

Consider the luck, if the car froze in a crowded place, that is, where there are still cars and sympathizer drivers. They will help advice, try to start the car from the pusher (this is if the gearbox is mechanical) or on the kindness of the soulful will give "searcate" from its working battery.

But if good luck turned away, no one offers help, then you only hope for yourself.

We suggest you use five effective ways from experienced motoristsHow to solve the problem with the launch of the car in a strong frost.

Council First, the most primitive - "Grandfather" way

It is to warm up the frozen battery by any remedies. You can remove it, attribute home, lean to the battery or even immerse in a hot bath. A battery cannot be completely filled with hot water - it will deteriorate. But, if you are a fragile girl or an intelligent young man in a festive suit, wearing a battery - an inappropriate business. In this case, if the mountain does not go to the Magomet ... That's right, we ourselves are warm to the battery. We recruit two double-liter plastic bottles of very hot water, we grab the warm blanket and carry it all the wealth to the car. Bottles put on the heads of the collector and carefully wrap the blanket, touching it on the sides. The lullaby to sing should not, you just need to wait a bit - ten or twenty minutes. For nerve soothing, you can drink plastic cup Coffee in the cold - strongly adds optimism and confidence that you are a brilliant follower of the People's Inventor of Kulibin.

After such common manipulations, you need to turn on for a few minutes far lightTo start the process in the battery, and then you can run the engine.

The charm of this method is that it is simple, understandable, affordable and most importantly - free!

Council second, low-budget - use synthetic oil

If in the summer you buy ordinary mineral oilthen winter it is worth changing the addiction and buy synthetic or semi-synthetic oil. The fact is that synthetic species Motor oils have a pumping point much lower, so that the engine is normally started even in the cold. But this advice is relevant only if the reason for the launch of the engine is thickened in the crankcase. But in general, in winter motor oil When buying it is worth checking. Leave the canister on the frost, and then look - good winter oil She was splashing, and inappropriate - thick, it forms a solid film from above. Ideal advice - buy engine oil (as well as diesel fuel and gasoline) from famous brands and in proven places.

Council Third, exclusive - for those who have a car on a paid or protected parking lot

Install the timer on the starter that can periodically run the motor for several minutes so that it does not cool so much. The optimal period is between such launches offline - every three hours. Hurry up in this way the car is a good output, but only if the parking is closed and guarded.

Council fourth - for those who at least a little motorist: clean the candles

The efficiency of incandescent candles needs to be sometimes checked. Due to old and bad candles, the car may refuse to start in the cold. Candles can be new, but if you immediately terribly stamped on gas with a frozen engine, they can simply flood with gasoline. Exit - change the candles. But it's long, and you need to go now. If you have no time to change the candles, you can simply clean them from Nagara or from gasoline. You need to unscrew the candles (not too long a procedure, but requiring at least some "green" concept in the motor) and clean them, for example, toothbrush. For consumer effect, use modern cleaning powders or gels. Do not get carried away hard - you can damage the insulating layer. Then the candles are desirable to dry or just heat. The hotter, the better. Clean and dry candles in place and start the car.

Council fifth, cheap, but the most optimal: Buy commissioning

Everything folk remedies Good, but special technical devices are always better and more reliable. It's like in the treatment of a cold: for some time we drink tea on herbs, hernayland lemons and swallow honey, and if it does not help - buy medicines in a pharmacy.

Such a "pharmacy" preparation for frozen car Is an autonomous starting device. This is a compact and convenient device, referred to as the "Booster" - a real-cut wand for a motorist in the event of a battery failure. The starting device acts as a source of current for the starter, charger - charges rechargeable battery, and the start-charging (ROM) device does both.

Autonomous PU is safe and for supernovy cars with a digital control system, because it will simply give a start-up circuit to start the engine. Practical and small launchers with good protection will always be helped and everywhere - in the field, in the forest, in the city. You only need to attach terminals and click the button.
