　　What types of car batteries are there and what are the misunderstandings about their use?

　　There are three types of car batteries: ordinary batteries, dry-charge batteries, and maintenance-free batteries. However, misunderstandings often occur when using them, such as overcharging, long-term high-current discharge, and long-term use of electrical equipment in the car after turning off the engine. Then the following will introduce the relevant content in detail.

　　1. Various classifications of car batteries

　　1. Ordinary battery

　　The plates of ordinary batteries are composed of lead and lead oxide, and the electrolyte is an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. Its main advantages are stable voltage and low price; its disadvantages are low specific energy (that is, the electrical energy stored per kilogram of battery), short service life and frequent daily maintenance.

　　2. Dry charge battery

　　Its full name is dry-charged lead-acid battery. Its main feature is that the negative plate has a high power storage capacity. In a completely dry state, it can store the power obtained within two years. When using it, just add electrolyte liquid, wait 20-30 minutes before use.

　　3. Maintenance-free battery

　　Due to its structural advantages, maintenance-free batteries consume very little electrolyte and basically do not need to replenish distilled water during their service life. It also has the characteristics of shock resistance, high temperature resistance, small size and low self-discharge. The service life is generally twice that of ordinary batteries. There are also two types of maintenance-free batteries on the market: the first type requires a one-time addition of electrolyte when purchased and does not require maintenance (adding replenishing fluid) during subsequent use; the other type is that the battery itself has electrolyte added and sealed at the factory. , the user cannot add refill fluid at all.

　　2. Misunderstandings about the use of car batteries

　　1. Any operation of using electrical equipment in the car for a long time after turning off the engine will cause the battery to be over-discharged. For example, if you forget to turn off the lights after parking at night, the engine will not start the next day. A large part of the reason is due to the failure to turn off the car in time. Turning off the lights causes the battery to become depleted, at which point the battery's performance may have been significantly reduced.

　　2. After shutting down the engine, you should try to avoid using electrical equipment, such as audio, DVD, radio, lights, air conditioners, etc. for a long time. The time should not exceed 30 minutes. If you must use electrical equipment, it is best to start the engine with the generator. electrical energy.

　　3. When the engine is started, the battery will discharge with high current, but long-term high current discharge will greatly damage the battery. Each start time should not exceed 5 seconds. If it is started twice in a row, there should be an interval of 10 to 15 seconds.

　　4. Since the raw materials for manufacturing batteries cannot be 100% pure, there will always be impurities mixed in the middle, so the battery will inevitably have automatic discharge. The anti-theft alarm also needs electricity after turning off the engine. Therefore, for a long time When a vehicle is parked and not in use, the battery may be over-discharged. If the vehicle is parked for more than a week, please remove the negative connector of the battery and cut off the power supply.

　　5. Try to avoid using the car battery with external high-power electrical equipment. Such equipment consumes a lot of power and may cause the battery to over-discharge. If it must be used, it is best to start the engine while using it and let the generator Powered by the battery.

　　6. Do not overcharge. If the voltage regulator of the car alternator is not set correctly, the output voltage of the alternator will be high. When the charging voltage exceeds the maximum limit voltage of the battery, overcharging may occur. At this time, If the fault is not checked and eliminated in time, the battery will overheat, causing abnormal consumption of electrolyte. Overcharging will accelerate the decomposition of active materials on the battery plates, causing the battery to fail.
