If someone asks: what is the most important component of a car? Many people may immediately answer with one voice, “three major parts”! This is a deep-rooted thought in people’s minds. In fact, there are many important but unknown parts in cars, such as batteries! Lead-acid batteries are often overcharged and the temperature is high, which will cause the battery to lack water. So how to solve this problem? Let’s take a look together!
What are the symptoms of water shortage in lead-acid batteries?
The battery is short of water, and the battery will become hot during charging, and the heat will be severe. If it is a little bit worse, the battery will swell. In severe cases, the indicator light is always in the same state when the charger is charging. In this case, the battery is severely dehydrated and is basically on the verge of being scrapped.
What are the consequences of water shortage in lead-acid batteries?
During the process of charging, discharging and storage of lead-acid batteries, part of the water will be evaporated due to the use environment and internal high temperature reaction, resulting in water shortage in the battery. If you do not add water to the battery in time, the service life of the forklift battery that has been in a state of water shortage for a long time will be affected.
How to solve the problem of water shortage in lead-acid batteries?
Lack of water in lead-acid batteries can lead to battery failure, which is a common phenomenon. Lack of water is still the cause of most forklift battery failures. It is mainly caused by high temperature evaporation, and when the battery is charged and discharged, it will generate heat, which will inevitably cause the water in the electrolyte in the battery to be evaporated. Generally, the water in the electrolyte of a maintenance-free battery can be used for about 3 years, but if some If the car owner has bad car use behavior, it will aggravate the water loss of the battery. At this time, it is necessary to “replenish water”. When adding water, you must add deionized water or pure water (distilled water), and tap water is not allowed, which will cause a problem of large self-discharge of the battery.

It is a normal phenomenon that the battery loses water. The maintenance-free battery also needs to be supplemented with distilled water regularly. Basically, the battery can be replenished every 6 months or so, which can prolong the battery life. Usually, workers will not control accurately when adding water manually, which will easily lead to excessive or insufficient water addition, and manual water addition is time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to make mistakes, which will affect the performance and service life of the battery.
At this stage, more and more people will consider Battery Self Watering System to reduce safety hazards and improve work efficiency. Then you can consider the following two replenishment options:
One-key water filling tool: the Battery Water Gun can replenish water with one key, and the water will automatically stop when the water is full. It can effectively improve the efficiency of water maintenance and ensure the consistency of battery unit characteristics after water maintenance. Improve battery performance and service life.
If you want to realize fully automatic water addition without the need for operators to manually add water, you can use: Battery Self Watering System, which can completely replace the manual maintenance operation of battery water addition, real-time monitoring of battery water shortage status, automatic water replenishment, full water sensor and automatic stop, and equipment installation. Keep the electrolyte liquid level in a healthy state throughout the whole process, ensure the stability and balance of the electrolyte characteristics of the battery, optimize the use efficiency of battery equipment, and prolong the service life of the battery.
