The vital organ for many devices is the battery. Accumulators have firmly occupied one of the main niches in the life support of various kinds of mechanisms. Perhaps the most common application of rechargeable batteries is their installation in automotive vehicles. Automobile stores offer a wide selection of batteries from various manufacturers. Car owners know how important it is to choose a reliable battery for their car.
Instructions
Step 1
The battery provides engine starting and electrical operation. For the reliable performance of your vehicle, it is important to choose the right battery. The criteria for such a choice may be different. If you do not have professional experience with dry cell batteries, then do not choose one. The process of electrolyte preparation itself is complicated. Making even the smallest mistake risks shortening the life of your battery.
Step 2
Give preference to a battery that does not require maintenance. You do not have to monitor the electrolyte level and constantly add distilled water.
Step 3
Choose a battery with an envelope fixture to insulate the positive and negative plates. The envelope method prevents closure of the plates, prevents them from shedding and prevents contamination of the electrolyte. The self-discharge of such batteries is much lower. The operation of envelope separators can extend the battery life from two to five years.
Step 4
Although there is a wide range of rechargeable batteries, purchase a battery with lead-calcium plates. They reduce the consumption of water in the electrolyte and self-discharge. Having the same weight as similar batteries, they can hold more plates. This provides an increase in starting power from 30 to 50 percent.
Step 5
Use batteries that have covers with a separation system. They reduce water consumption and prevent electrolyte leakage when the battery is tilted. Such covers completely exclude the possibility of battery explosion.
Step 6
Electrical capacity is the main characteristic of a battery. A large capacity allows you to spend more electricity to start the car engine. Determine the required battery capacity from the power of your vehicle. To do this, use a special table, which indicates the power of the engines and the capacity of the batteries.
Step 7
The best battery is filled and charged, with an envelope separator and plates containing a minimum of antimony.
