Mechanic's Warning: Leaving Hazard Lights On Can Drain Your Car Battery

Hazard Lights and Your Car Battery: A Mechanic's Advice Leaving your hazard lights on might seem harmless, but it can have unexpected consequences, especially depending on your car's type of lights. A recent TikTok video by a Spanish mechanic, Talleres Ebenezer, highlights this issue. He explains that while LED lights are more energy-efficient, leaving them on for extended periods can still drain your battery. Older cars with halogen bulbs are even more susceptible. "Even with LED lights, which consume less energy, leaving your hazard lights on for hours can drain your battery," explains Ebenezer in his video. He demonstrates the difference between LED and halogen lights, emphasizing the higher energy consumption of the latter. The video also shows examples of various car models to illustrate the point. Ebenezer's advice is simple: use your hazard lights only when necessary. This practical tip can save car owners from unexpected battery problems and potential roadside emergencies. The video's popularity, with over 150,000 views, shows the widespread concern about this issue.
