Why does a battery make a clicking noise when it goes bad?
This produces byproducts like liquid and gas. The former can be seen when a battery goes bad and leaks out. The latter can be heard. It’s normal for hydrogen gas to be produced. The batteries are not sealed, to allow this gas to vent. But misuse of the battery, or if it goes bad, excessive amounts of hydrogen gas is created.
Where does the clunking sound come from on a car battery?
A couple of weeks ago, I heard an occasional clacking or clicking (maybe even slight clunking) sound coming from the area near by door where the batteries are located. When I took the battery cover off, it was clear that the sound was coming from the solenoids or whatever is next to the batteries.
Why are my batteries clacking in my house?
Without knowing how the batteries are wired to the device, it is difficult to even guess what you have but it probably is either a battery isolating device, or it is the solenoid that cross connects the battery and the chassis charging system. Here are some photos. Hope they make some sense.
Why is my car relay not clicking anymore?
The relay will almost certainly not be clicking any more once the battery returns to normal. It is likely only clicking due to low voltage and the battery charger not quite having enough power to both charge the dead battery and run whatever is trying to run in the vehicle.
