1. Daily inspection
1. If the liquid level is lower than the rated level, the service life of the battery will be shortened, and too little electrolyte will cause the battery to heat up and be damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to always pay attention to whether the electrolyte is sufficient.
2. The terminals, wires, and covers must be checked frequently for corrosion caused by oxidation at the joints of the battery terminals and the connections with the wires. At the same time, check whether the covers are deformed or have heat.
3. Appearance If the surface of the battery is dirty, it will cause leakage. The surface of the battery should be kept clean and dry at all times.
2. Maintenance
1. Add distilled water according to the specified liquid level. Do not add too much distilled water to extend the interval between adding water. If too much water is added, the electrolyte will overflow and cause leakage.
2. Charging During the charging process, the battery will produce gas. The charging place should be kept well ventilated and there should be no open flames around. At the same time, the oxygen and acidic gases produced during the charging process will affect the surrounding area. Unplugging the charging plug during charging will produce an arc. The plug can only be unplugged after the charger is turned off. After charging, a lot of hydrogen is retained around the battery. No open flame is allowed. The cover on the battery should be opened for charging.
3. The maintenance of the terminal, wire and cover must be carried out by professional technicians designated by the manufacturer.
4. Cleaning If it is not too dirty, you can wipe it clean with a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, you should remove the battery from the car, wash it with water and let it dry naturally.
III. Storage
1. The storage place cannot be short-circuited. Short-circuiting due to rain may cause fire and may produce a small amount of hydrogen. Therefore, the battery must be stored in a ventilated and cool place.
2. Used batteries Used batteries still have electrical energy and should be stored according to the storage method of the used batteries.
IV. Operation of electrolyte
1. Check the specific gravity Use a suction hydrometer to check the specific gravity. Do not let the electrolyte splash out during operation, and wear protective equipment.
2. Operations other than inspection should be consulted with professionals, especially when replenishing electrolyte (dilute sulfuric acid).
3. Electrolyte leakage If the battery is tipped over or damaged and causes electrolyte leakage, emergency treatment should be carried out immediately (refer to emergency treatment matters)
V. Operation of end-of-life batteries
1. Operation of end-of-life batteries When the battery is close to the end of its life, the electrolyte in the cell decreases very quickly, and distilled water should be added every day.
2. Treatment of used batteries For used batteries, extract the electrolyte and disassemble the battery. You can discuss whether to recycle it with the battery manufacturer.
VI. Emergency treatment
1. If the electrolyte splashes on the skin, rinse with plenty of water
2. If the electrolyte splashes on the eyes, rinse with plenty of clean water and then receive treatment from a professional doctor.
