HOW TO HANDLE DEAD CAR BATTERIES SAFELY AND RESPONSIBLY:

It is very common for people to accidentally forget that they left the navigation system on or other accessories on in their cars. If this is the problem with your dead car battery.

It is very important for you to avoid touching any of the exposed metal or other electrical components of your car's system that might still be working and could cause a spark and become a fire hazard.

If you find out what caused you car battery to fully discharge, DO NOT TURN THE IGNITION ON. You should also avoid touching anything in or near your car that may cause a spark or start a fire, including things such as cell phones, metal tools, etc.

If your flat battery was caused by something like your headlights staying on while you turned off your car, it is important that you turn your headlights off as soon as you realize that's what was causing the problem. This might help prevent additional problems and killing your battery completely.

Dead car batteries can also occur due to normal wear and tear, with the battery running flat just because of the general passage of time. A dead car battery can be caused by a lack of maintenance on the owner's part, so it's important to know that replacing your car battery once every few years is a good idea and can even help to extend the life of your car.

When having a mechanic check your dead battery, it is also important to check the alternator as it could be that it is not charging your battery when the vehicle is running, in which case you may need a new alternator.
