Question

Can battery failure occur from an improperly towed car?

Answer 1

no.

good luck...

Answer 2

Battery Failure, no way at all from a simply tow. Battery discharge, yes! As others have stated you or the towing company could have left something on which discharged the battery. One other scenario is if you have a underhood or trunk light it could have been turned on by the vehicle being on a severe angle such as being towed, as these are generally activated by a mercury switch. Even if both of these lights were on it would take a long time to discharge the battery to the point of calling it "failed".

Answer 3

highly unlikely...unless they left lights or flashers on, or an interior light was left on. But by direct towing? not really....

I wouldn't think so,unless the car was dropped hard and the battery exploded...even this would be rare.

Answer 5

not unless the lights were left on.

Answer 6

Not from towing itself.
