Electrolyte level:
Check the acid level of the battery every week. If the battery is operating in high temperatures, refill with distilled or deionized water every three days.
Failure to maintain proper levels may lead to damage to the battery plates, shortening the battery's service life, and other issues.
To check the level:
①Open the vent cap.
②If the electrolyte level is below the top of the vent cap, it indicates that the electrolyte level is too low and needs to be topped up with distilled or deionized water.
③If the electrolyte level is parallel or higher than the vent cap, it is in the proper position.
Inspect the connector, connecting wires, and cap for any signs of corrosion or damage:
①Check for corrosion between the connector pole's joining and the leading wires. Corrosion in this area can disrupt the electrical connection and lead to performance issues.
②Examine the cap for any signs of transmutation or overheating. Transmutation can indicate chemical reactions occurring within the cap, potentially compromising its integrity.
Overheating may suggest excessive electrical resistance or other issues that need to be addressed promptly.
Regular inspection of these components helps ensure the integrity and proper functioning of the electrical system.
Maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the battery's exterior to prevent creepage:
①Ensure that the battery's surface is kept clean and free from dirt and debris. Dirty surfaces can lead to creepage, which can compromise the safety and performance of the battery.
②Regularly inspect the battery's exterior for any signs of contamination or buildup. If dirt or other substances are present, clean the surface thoroughly to prevent potential issues.
By keeping the battery's exterior clear and dry, you help maintain its safety and prolong its lifespan.
3.Maintenance
① Water Filling:
Fill with distilled or deionized water as per the electrolyte level. Avoid overfilling with distilled water to delay refill intervals, as excess water can lower specific gravity, causing electrolyte spillage. This spillage can corrode the metal box and cables, affecting the battery's service life and promoting creepage.
② Charging:
Charging generates gas, necessitating a well-ventilated environment and the absence of open flames. Oxygen and acidic gases emitted during charging can affect the surrounding environment. When unplugging the charger, electric arcs may occur. Therefore, first, switch off the charger's power and then unplug it. After charging, hydrogen may accumulate, so avoid exposing the area to naked flames.
