Is the Changan Karvaan starter motor affected by low-quality batteries commonly used in Pakistan?

A weak battery can put extra strain on the starter motor. Could the use of substandard o r underpowered batteries in Pakistan be accelerating starter motor failure in Karvaan vans?

Yes, low-quality o r underpowered batteries are a major cause of:

Insufficient voltage, leading to starter strain

Increased wear on internal brushes and solenoid

Many users install cheap 38–45 Ah batteries, which are not ideal for Karvaan. Using a high-quality 60 Ah battery helps reduce starter motor load and extend lifespan.
