XII. Operational method of lead acid battery
I. Lead acid battery and its application
Lead acid battery is used for power start engine, and it can be for voltage regulation and overload
generator substitute power, it has following strengths: low internal resistance, stable end voltage,
large support current, low water cost, huge capacity, nice starting performance at low temperature,
light pole corrosion, light mass, low fault rate, convenient maintenance. The maintenance-free
batteries are all sealed besides 2 vent holes (for overflowing a little air from battery) at the side of
maintenance-free battery. Low-maintenance lead-acid batteries plus liquid left in the battery cover
mouth.
II. Storage and maintenance
2.1. Storage
The place for storing battery should be clean, dry, airy, and the battery should be charged every
3 months.
2.2. Maintenance
●
Make sure there is no terminal corrosion, link part looseness, outer crack and fastening
looseness on the battery.
●
If the truck parks over 30 days, in order to keep the battery in normal charging technique
condition, you should do the following:
2.3. Battery check and maintenance
Maintenance-free battery check
When the battery volume status is normal and electrolyte density reaches the standard, the small
ball is in green; when the battery volume is insufficient and electrolyte density drops, the color is
white; if the ball is in red, that means the electrolyte is badly insufficient, you should check whether
there is fracture, leakage or fault to battery.

The indicator of battery refers to the prompt on the battery label.
Maintenance-free battery maintenance
1)
Insure the green status visual in inner indicator;
2)
Disconnect negative earth wire to avoid discharging by additional current release;
3)
Keep the battery charged completely when the battery cannot be removed from the truck
;
4)
Make a general schedule, charge every 30-45 days if truck is not used during this period;
5)
Check battery when the green status of indicator at battery are invisible, then charge or replace
battery
