Why are Changan Kalam owners in Pakistan frequently facing dead battery issues even in relatively new vehicles?

Many users report battery failure within the first 1–2 years. Is this due to poor battery quality, alternator faults, o r parasitic drains?

Several causes contribute to premature battery failure within 1–2 years:

Poor OEM battery quality factory-fitted batteries are often low-capacity and not built for harsh use.

Alternator issues: Weak o r fluctuating charging voltages.

Parasitic electrical drains, especially from aftermarket devices o r faulty modules.

Lack of regular maintenance, including fluid levels o r terminal cleanliness.

Combined, these reduce both the life and reliability of batteries even in new vehicles.
