Precautions for battery use and maintenance

Ordinary batteries are also called lead-acid batteries. Its electrodes are composed of lead and lead oxides, and the electrolyte is an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. The important advantage is stable voltage and low price; the disadvantage is frequent daily maintenance. Old-fashioned ordinary batteries generally have a lifespan of about 2 years, and it is necessary to regularly check the height of the electrolyte and add distilled water. Maintenance-free battery, as the name suggests, the biggest feature is maintenance-free. Do not add distilled water during the service life. It also has the characteristics of shock resistance, high temperature resistance, small size, and small self-discharge. Of course, its price will be more expensive than ordinary batteries. As for the service life, the recommended replacement period for maintenance-free batteries under normal conditions is about 3 years. Precautions for the use and maintenance of car batteries: 1. Each start time should not exceed 3 to 5 seconds when starting the car, and the interval between restarts should not be less than 10 seconds. 2. The car often drives short distances, starting and stopping, which will cause the battery to be under-charged for a long time and shorten the service life. Driving on the highway at a steady speed for 20 to 30 minutes can give the battery sufficient time to charge. 3. During daily driving, before leaving the car, check to make sure that all car lights and other electrical appliances (such as radios, CDs) have been turned off. Because this may drain your battery. 4. If the battery is exhausted, jump-starting (also known as jump-starting) is required to start, and you should drive at a constant speed (such as highway speed) for at least 20-30 minutes as soon as possible to fully charge the battery. 5. When the battery is completely discharged, it may not be possible to start the car with the help of fire. At this time, you have to use a special battery charger for slow charging.
