Get The Most From Your Lead-Acid Batteries - Extend the Life 2x-3x

Lead- acid batteries have become a necessity in today’s society. Our cars, trucks, farm equipment and recreational vehicles all use batteries to start their engines and power accessories.

Forklifts, electric chairs, and off-grid power systems need lead-acid batteries to operate. Lead-acid batteries can be a hassle to replace and expensive, with some batteries costing up to $5000. To get the most out of your lead-acid batteries, follow these simple procedures.

1. Regularly charge your batteries. In deep cycle applications, you should charge after every use. Let them fully charge before disconnecting the charger.

2. Especially in cold environments, be sure to keep your batteries charged. If you leave an uncharged battery exposed to freezing temperatures, the battery will freeze and crack.

3. In warm environments, store cars and batteries in cool places or at least away from direct sun exposure.

4. Water batteries regularly if they are the unsealed type. Use distilled water only.

5. Do not equalize or overcharge your batteries as it deteriorates the integrity of the plates.

6. Do not use solid or liquid additives in your batteries.

7. PLEASE, DO NOT empty out the fluid in the battery and replace it with new battery acid. It is very harmful to our environment and it is not effective. The problem will not be solved because the sulfate crystals are on the plates and they will remain there even if you dumped the solution.

8. Use a good electronic desulfator that will help to eliminate hard sulfates from the plates.

The life and performance of a battery can be increased be keeping the hard sulfates off the plates.

Let me know if you have any questions about batteries and how I might be able to help.
