If your Alto Lapin’s battery is dying frequently, it could be due to a variety of reasons:

Old o r Defective Battery: If the battery is old o r defective, it may not hold a charge properly. Batteries typically last around 2-3 years, but this can vary depending on usage and climate. In Pakistan, high temperatures can shorten battery life.
Alternator Issues: If the alternator is malfunctioning, it may not be charging the battery correctly while driving. This leads to frequent battery drain.
Parasitic Drain: Electrical components like lights, radio, o r air conditioning may be left on when the car is off, draining the battery. In some cases, faulty wiring o r a malfunctioning electrical component can cause parasitic drain.
Short Trips: Frequent short trips without giving the alternator enough time to recharge the battery can also contribute to the battery dying, as it doesn’t get charged fully during each trip.
Solution: Check the battery’s age and health. If it’s more than 2 years old, it might need replacement. Have the alternator tested, and ensure all electrical systems are functioning correctly. Also, avoid leaving accessories on when the engine is off.
