In order to maintain Lead-Acid Batteries to extend their service life, the following aspects can be taken:
Regular charging: The power of Lead-Acid Batteries will gradually decrease with time and frequency of use, so regular charging is the key to maintaining battery life. For Lead-Acid Batteries used in cars, it is recommended to charge at least once a month to maintain the stable state of the battery. At the same time, avoid the battery being in a low power state for a long time to avoid excessive discharge.
Avoid deep discharge: Deep discharge will cause corrosion of the plates of Lead-Acid Batteries, thereby shortening the battery life. Therefore, when using Lead-Acid Batteries, try to avoid discharging them to the limit. It is generally recommended to charge when there is about 30% of the power remaining to protect the battery from damage caused by deep discharge.
Control charging conditions: It is critical to charge Lead-Acid Batteries with the correct charger and appropriate charging parameters. Both overcharging and undercharging can cause damage to the battery, so a charger that matches the battery should be selected and the manufacturer's charging guidelines should be followed.
Maintain a suitable temperature: The performance and life of Lead-Acid Batteries are greatly affected by temperature. Too high or too low temperatures will reduce the capacity and efficiency of the battery, and even cause battery damage. Therefore, you should try to avoid using or storing batteries in high or low temperature environments. If you must use them at extreme temperatures, you should take appropriate heat preservation or cooling measures.
Inspection and maintenance: Regular inspection and maintenance of Lead-Acid Batteries is an important means to ensure their stable performance and extend their service life. The battery shell, connecting wires, electrodes and other parts should be checked for damage or looseness, and repaired or replaced in time. At the same time, keeping the battery surface clean and removing impurities and oxides will help improve the performance and life of the battery.
Avoid vibration and impact: Lead-Acid Batteries may cause damage to the internal structure when subjected to vibration and impact, thereby affecting the performance and life of the battery. Therefore, during use and transportation, the battery should be protected from vibration and impact as much as possible.
Replenishing electrolyte: For maintainable Lead-Acid Batteries, the height and concentration of the electrolyte should be checked regularly, and distilled water or special replenishing fluid should be added when necessary. Be careful not to use drinking purified water or other non-special liquids to replenish the electrolyte.
Prevent short circuits: Short circuits are a serious problem for Lead-Acid Batteries, which may cause a lot of heat to be generated inside the battery and damage the battery. Therefore, ensure that the positive and negative poles of the battery do not come into direct contact, and avoid using inappropriate tools or methods to touch the battery.
In summary, Lead-Acid Batteries can be effectively maintained and their service life extended by measures such as regular charging, avoiding deep discharge, controlling charging conditions, maintaining appropriate temperatures, inspection and maintenance, avoiding vibration and shock, replenishing electrolyte, and preventing short circuits.
