Recently, more and more cars are initially equipped with non-servant batteries. Modern manufacturers have experienced an unanimous opinion that the modern motorist must give the minimum value and spend less time by climbing his car under the hood.

Ideally, all these operations should be carried out in a specialized service, so the preference has become increasingly given to power sources, non-listed type, although they are charged. As a result, many issues related to obsolete batteries disappeared, but problems of another character appeared. Many still do not know how to charge the car's maintenanceable battery. The maintenance procedure and charging of this unit is largely different from the maintenance of obsolete lead batteries.

Types of batteries that are not subject to maintenance

The entire line of non-maintained car batteries is also divided into separate species:

• Power supplies with electrolyte fluid. A distinctive feature of this battery is a fully sealed body, there are no no holes in which distilled water usually fill.
• Akb without electrolyte in the usual form. The electrolyte fluid in such power supplies is located inside special polypropylene parts.
• Gel-based batteries. The electrolyte additionally add silicon oxide powder, which makes all the internal filling of the battery viscous, similar to the gel.
• Lead - calcium. Some of the first non-servant batteries. The electrolyte level in them decreases very slowly, the first samples could be operated within 2 - oh years. Significantly later in their design, add-ons, equipping the aggregates special recesses, which increased the operating time to 5 - and years.

Procedure for charging maintained acb

Most of the car owners, especially newcomers are very often interested in: how to charge a non-servant battery? How to charge a car battery at home? Is it possible to do it at all?

Charging the power source using a special device itself is much more useful for the battery, in contrast to uneven recharging using the generator during the movement.

In winter, with the arrival of low temperatures to our country, there are additional difficulties with the engine of the engine. Everything is explained very simple. The lubricating components inside the engine are very condensed from the reduced ambient temperature and greatly make the initial rotation of the starter "on the cold". All these difficulties lie directly on the power supply, which in this case works with overloads and consumes much more than its charge than the warm season. Hence the conclusion that charging the non-servant battery must be carried out in a timely manner before the start of the cold.

Stepped Steps Charging Process

Instructions on how to recharge the maintenance-free battery with full or partial discharge consists of the following actions:

1. In case of partial refreshing The car battery is used by the method at which a continuous voltage (14-14.5 volts) is supplied (about 3 hours). The strength of the current should be equal to 25 amperes at the initial stage. As soon as the current drops to a value of 0.2 amps, charging must be stopped. It is worth noting that charging the power supply of 15 amps power supply is categorically prohibited and higher during the entire time of the procedure.
2. In case of complete charge Battery Charger will take up to 2 days. The initial voltage in this case is set within 10% of the rated capacity of the battery in the ampere - clock, according to the instructions. It is worth carefully ensuring that the concentration of harmful gases is not reached the critical norm. How much time before this should go depends on the conditions in which the procedure is carried out.

How to recharge the left power source to solve only the car owner. When removing the battery from the car, the side computer parameters will completely accommodate, and the system is simply reset. And when charging, directly on the car will require additional visual control over the course of the entire operation. It is also necessary to take measures to protect the electrical circuit and the on-board computer from a short circuit and brave. In the case of charging the battery on the car itself, the first thing you need to make sure that the system is de-energized, then remove the positive terminal.

Cost and service

In this segment is significantly higher, compared to its serviced counterparts. With frequent failures and incorrect operation of the electric system of the car, such AKB are faster, and this type is almost impossible. The housing of this power source, as described above, is sealed itself, so it is impossible to accurately determine the level of electrolyte inside and accordingly make correct conclusions for subsequent charging of the unit. Standard batteries are calculated for current strength of about 60 amps.

In conclusion, it is worth answering the most important question from newcomers - car enthusiasts: how to charge and whether it is possible to do this with a non-serving power source? The answer is one - yes. Maintenance of this unit is a common phenomenon. Charging from the ordinary generator he just does not have enough to fully restore the loss of electricity.

Especially a lot of strength at the battery occupies operation in the mode of reduced ambient temperatures, so a timely charged maintenance-free or ordinary battery will be a guarantee of stable operation of your car. By purchasing a new power source, it is necessary to remember that in the next subsequent years it will be the heart of all electrical devices of your vehicle, and constant charge level control will extend its operating time at times.
