Lead Acid Battery Over-Discharging Preventive Measures

It is not able to completely avoid the self discharge of lead acid battery, but we can take some preventive measures to prevent the battery from over discharge, and make the discharge rate in the normal range. There are eight common preventive measures as following:

1. Often keep the lead acid battery plate clean.

2. Note that the connection between the wire and clip should be fastness, and don't occur the looseness and short-circuit etc phenomenon.

3. Keep the electrolyte with appropriate density. At other times, you should add the distilled water, and don't use other water that includes mineral substance. When liquid level is low, you should add distilled water in time, in case that the density of electrolyte increases for lack of water.

4. Don't continually start the engine for long time. The time of starting doesn't exceed 5 seconds every time. The spacing interval of twice starting should be more than 2 minutes. This will avoid the lead acid battery over discharge because of the large current, which makes the distilled water of electrolyte generate a large evaporation, and then it will burn the plates for the too large electrolyte density. The ventilated holes of lead acid battery cover should be unblocked.

5. Proper store the battery that is not in use. In the summer, it can be put in the room with good ventilation, dry, nice and cool, far away from the chemistry items. Do charge it every month to make the electrolyte density equality, and the liquid level not low.

6. Prevent the sewage from entering the inside of lead acid battery from the cover or air vent when washing the battery.

7. In time recondition or replace the plates when it is damaged.

8. Get rid of the rest of liquid when changing the electrolyte of lead acid battery.
