How to Maintain and Care for Lead-Acid Batteries
It's always been a big challenge for battery users, although most lead-acid batteries in use today are maintenance-free.
It's not as complex to maintain as a standard lead-acid battery, but proper maintenance methods are essential.
It still helps us utilize lead-acid batteries more efficiently.
Lead-Acid Battery Inspection and Maintenance:
Avoid Long-Term Discharge
Lead-acid batteries do not have a secondary memory; this is why deep discharge is the main culprit behind their capacity decline.
So-called undercharge refers to a situation where the battery voltage is insufficient.
Maintaining a long-term state of undercharging can easily lead to damage to the electrode plates.
Therefore, we ensure the battery is regularly used and undergoes charging and discharging operations to maintain sufficient battery voltage.
2. Hydration Enhancement:
Heat causes moisture to evaporate; during charging and use, the battery's internal moisture is consumed at an accelerated rate.
So it is necessary to check the water level in the battery storage periodically to ensure it has not significantly decreased.
Insufficient? Just add distilled water or battery additive.
Please note that this should not be added by non-experts; 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.
