Charging of strongly discharged and sulfatirovanny rechargeable battery
The rechargeable battery, long time which was not used (for example, at the long parking of the car), is discharged and sulfatirutsya over time. If tension of idling of the battery lies lower than 11.6 In, then the battery is considered strongly discharged. Check rest tension. At strongly discharged battery electrolyte consists almost of one water.
ATTENTION
At a negative temperature such battery can freeze, and the case of the battery to burst.
Strongly discharged battery sulfatirutsya, i.e. on a surface of electrodes large slightly soluble crystals of sulphurous lead are formed. Electrolyte at the same time loses transparency and gets weak white coloring.
If strongly discharged battery is charged directly after the category, sulphation happens again. Otherwise plates of the battery continue to harden and the possibility of a charge of the battery for a long time remains limited.
Strongly discharged and sulfitirovanny battery has to be charged with the lowered current about 5%, i.e. at, for example, capacity of the battery 60 of Ach force of charging current has to make 3 A.
Tension of a charge has to make no more than 14.4 Century.
It is impossible to charge strongly discharged battery with the device for a bystry charge at all.
Bystry charging / help at start
|
PERFORMANCE ORDER
|
| 1. Charge with the device for a bystry charge the battery only for ensuring start of the car. At the same time force of charging current makes 20% and more from battery capacity. At the same time the battery is damaged since is affected by big currents. Time not used and strongly discharged battery is long it is not necessary to load with the device for a bystry charge since it leads to sulphation. |
| Storage of the rechargeable battery |
2. If the car was not used more than two months, the rechargeable battery needs to be removed and charged. Optimum temperature of storage of the battery makes from 0 to +27 °C. At these temperatures a battery self-discharge minimum. It is necessary to charge the battery at least once in two months, otherwise it becomes useless.
The battery which was not used a long time (for example, the car was not operated), is discharged and, besides, can sulfatirovatsya. If such battery is charged with the device for a bystry charge, it does not perceive charging current or owing to sulphation becomes too quickly "completely" loaded. Actually the battery is damaged.
Before defining the battery as damaged it is necessary to check the following: |
| 3. Electrolyte density. If the difference between density in separate sections does not exceed 0.04 g/ml, then it is necessary to charge the battery with the normal charger. |
| 4. After a charge check the battery under loading. If characteristics of the battery below given in Specifications, the battery is damaged. |
| 5. If electrolyte density in one or in two next sections considerably differs (for example, in five sections of 1.16 g/ml, and in the sixth 1.08 g/ml) the battery has short circuit and it needs to be replaced. |
