Show answer

Correct answer

  • ALa batería tiene poca carga.The battery is low.
Explanation

When you try to start the engine, the battery gives a very strong discharge of electrical energy. So if the battery is low, when starting it will seem to run out for a moment and the vehicle's lights will tend to go out.
