(f) No harmful impurities are allowed to fall in the battery. The instrument and tool designated to
measure the density of electrolyte solution, intensity and level should be kept clean so to prevent the
impurities from entry into the battery.
(g) No conducting materials are allowed to place on the battery cap so as to avoid the short circuit of
battery.
(h) In the charger room, there should be well ventilated condition. Fire is forbidden to prevent the
accidents
(i) During use of battery, if the voltage of each individual in the battery pack is uneven and consumed
not too often, the equalizing charge should be made once every month, i.e. the proper overcharge.
(4) Preservation and storage
(a) The battery should be stored in a dry, clean and well-ventilated warehouse, where the ambient
temperature is around 5~40°C.
(b) Prevent the battery from direct sunlight, the sun and the rain and keep it at least 2m away from the
heat source.
(c) It is prohibit to upside down, lie on, throw, flip over, and load over the battery.
(d) Try to avoid contact with any toxic and corrosive goods.
(e) It is not allowed to store the battery with the electrolyte solution. When the special storage is
necessary, sufficient charge should be made and the level and density of electrolyte solution properly
adjusted. During the period of storage, the common charge of battery should be made once every
month according to the general charge method.
(5) Common faults and troubleshooting
There are many causes of battery fault. Except for the manufacturing quality and the affection by the transport
and preservation, the majority of insufficiencies are caused by improper maintenance. Analyze timely the
causes when a fault is detected. Efficient measures should be taken as soon as possible for troubleshooting. The
characteristics, causes and inspection method of battery common faults are shown as below:
1. The battery capacity is reduced
2. The density of electrolyte
solution is lower than the normal
value
3. The battery-end voltage is too
high when the charge is started
and finished
4. The premature bubbles are
produced when charging or
bubbles occur once the charge
starts
5. In charge, the temperature of
electrolyte solution increases too
fast.
1. Insufficient initial charge
2. Unused for too long time in
discharged or half-discharged
state
3. Undercharged for a long time.
4. Often over-discharge
5. The density of electrolyte
solution exceeds the specified
value
6. The level of electrolyte solution
is too low resulting in the
exposure of the upper part of
polar plate over the level.
7. Failed to timely make the
equalizing charge
1. In less serious case, the
method of equalizing charge
should be taken
2. In serious case, the
"Hydrotherapy" should be
adopted
3. Over-discharge is not allowed
4. The density of electrolyte
solution density cannot exceed
the specified value
5. The electrolyte solution level
and impurity content should be
kept within the prescribed
scope.
