The car battery - the device requiring permanent care and attention if it is about the served accumulator. Now the majority of batteries of the spare parts presented at the market by a car go non-demountable, they are enough to be bought and put and whether will serve they the term declared the producer, depends only on a way of operation.
Not to allow premature death of the accumulator, it is necessary to fulfill some requirements during operation:
- The battery should be kept clean: you watch that there were no pollution of external walls of the block, terminals and exits of plus need to be coated periodically with neutral lubricant of good density, liquid will absurdly flow down. It is possible to smooth out terminals from oxide with application of a file, only without fanaticism.
- Do not allow overheating of electrolyte which reason more often there is a malfunction of the relay regulator, boiling of liquid in the battery will lead to fall of active agent from plates and failure of the device.
- Nedozaryad is also dangerous to the accumulator, it will lead to adjournment of sulfate on a surface of plates. In order to avoid such trouble check a belt tension on the generator, at turns the recharge of the battery during the movement of the car happens the generator of a belt.
- Especially in cold weather do not torment the accumulator at start of the starter. Before starting the car, try to turn on the small-capacity device, for example dimensions, it will significantly increase chance of start without problems. Do not allow a full discharge of the battery, try to twist the starter at an interval of a minute between attempts no more than 10 seconds if about 4-5 times nothing turned out, possibly, the reason not in the accumulator.
The served accumulators
If in the car there is a battery of an old sample, then it is necessary for long-term service:
- to check density, quantity and purity of electrolyte;
- to add at evaporation only distillate;
- it is better to load with the automatic charger of pulse action, otherwise it is possible not to guess the necessary current.
How to prolong life to the car accumulator in the winter?
Not to have problems with the battery in the winter, it is worth replacing already tired accumulator even in the fall and if it is still suitable, then in hard frosts remove it and bring in a warm garage or a corridor. Also you should not add water on a frost, it will freeze before manages to mix up with electrolyte and will tear the unit housing.
