Storage Battery

Batteries that have not been used for a long time, self-discharge, and, furthermore, their plates may be prosulfatirovany. If these batteries are charged using a quick charger, they do not absorb the charging current or the so-called surface charge are too early "fully charged". They seem to be faulty. But before you assume that these batteries are defective, they must be checked.

Check the density of the electrolyte. If all the cells of the density of the electrolyte varies between them is not more than 0.04 g / ml, then the battery can be charged a standard charger.

If the density of one or two neighboring cells deviates significantly more (longer 0.04 g / ml), the battery has an internal short circuit is faulty.

After charging the battery test under load. If she has not reached a predetermined value, then it is defective.

To prevent the aging of the battery must be recharged stored battery every three months.
