For police vehicles, thermal expansion deformation may occur on the positive electrode plate in the battery due to its improper internal structure, causing the plate material to exfoliate, when long hours idling increases the battery temperature. If this progresses, the battery fluid could gush out due to gassing, lowering the battery liquid level. At worst, a short circuit occurs inside the battery damaging itself, and it becomes impossible to start the engine.
