Battery Repair: Detailed Explanation on How to Maintain Lead-Acid Batteries
How to Maintain and Care for Lead-Acid Batteries
It's always been a major headache for battery users, although most lead-acid batteries used today are maintenance-free.
Less complex to maintain than a standard battery, but with proper care methods
It still helps us utilize lead-acid batteries more efficiently.
Lead-acid Battery Testing and Maintenance:
Avoid chronic undercharging:
Lead-acid batteries do not have a secondary memory, which is why discharge is the primary culprit behind their capacity decline.
Battery discharge refers to insufficient battery voltage.
Maintaining a long-term state of undercharge can lead to damage to the electrode plates.
Therefore, we ensure regular usage and charging/discharging operations for the battery to maintain adequate voltage.
2. Rehydrate
Heat causes water evaporation; during charging and usage, the battery's water content is accelerated in consumption.
So it is necessary to check the water level in the battery storage periodically to ensure it has not significantly decreased.
Insufficient? Simply add distilled water or battery electrolyte to replenish.
Please note that non-professionals should not add "et al." as it is difficult to master.
Do not add tap water, as it contains many impurities that can cause localized self-discharge, leading to additional power consumption.
