- BMBryson MavesFeb 2, 20261.0I went in with a simple dead battery from the cold and was not helped at all, all the female representative did while i was there was tell me she had to charge the battery which would take 45 minutes and after 2 WHOLE hours had passed i myself had to go down to the store to check cause i wasn’t called or messaged where they gave me the battery they charged up and said was good to go until this morning when i installed it to find that it didn’t have a good enough charge to start my car so now i have to walk to my job at 9 am where i work all day and get another battery all because they didn’t want to give me another battery when i have a WARRANTY

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
