Introduction

Flooded lead acid batteries are one of the most reliable and cost-effective types of batteries. Proper maintenance is essential to ensure their longevity and optimal performance. This article provides detailed steps and parameters for maintaining these batteries, along with insights into HRESYS company solutions for battery care.

Understanding Flooded Lead Acid Batteries

Flooded lead acid batteries, also known as wet cell batteries, contain a liquid electrolyte and require regular maintenance. They are commonly used in automotive, industrial, and renewable energy applications.

Steps to Maintain a Flooded Lead Acid Battery

1. Regular Inspection

   Inspect the battery for any signs of damage or corrosion on terminals.

2. Electrolyte Level Maintenance

   Check and maintain the electrolyte level. Refill with distilled water if levels drop below the recommended mark. Always fill to cover the plates.

3. Terminal Cleaning

   Clean the terminals using a mixture of baking soda and water to prevent corrosion. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly.

4. Charging

   Charge the battery regularly to prevent sulfation. Maintain a charge between 12.4V and 12.7V for a 12V battery.

5. Equalization

   Conduct equalization charging periodically to balance the cell voltages, typically at a voltage of 15.5V for a 12V battery.

Parameters for Monitoring Battery Health

1. Voltage: Monitor the battery voltage regularly. A fully charged 12V lead acid battery should read approximately 12.6V to 12.8V.
2. Specific Gravity: Measure the specific gravity of the electrolyte. The ideal range is 1.265 to 1.299 at 25°C.
3. Temperature: Keep the battery operating temperature between 20°C and 25°C to ensure efficiency and longevity.
4. State of Charge (SOC): Maintain SOC above 50% to avoid damaging the battery plates.
