1️⃣ ‌Key Points for Daily Maintenance

Terminal Corrosion Prevention:

Monthly inspection of electrodes (Clean verdigris with soda water + wire brush) → Apply Vaseline for insulation

Electrolyte Management (Applicable to maintainable batteries):

Maintain liquid level 5-10mm above plates (Top up with distilled water; tap water strictly prohibited)

Use high-density electrolyte (1.28g/cm³) in cold regions to prevent freezing

2️⃣ Charging Golden Rules

‌Preventing Deep Discharge‌:

Avoid using electrical devices for >10 minutes after engine shutdown

Disconnect negative terminal for storage exceeding 2 weeks

‌Smart Charging‌:

Voltage range: 12.6V-12.8V (fully charged)/<11.8V requires immediate charging

Slow charging preferred over fast charging (0.1C current optimal)

3️⃣ ‌Environmental Adaptation Strategies‌

Climate Zone 

 Maintenance Focus

Hot Regions

Battery box insulation + Ventilation hole cleaning

High-Humidity Coastal Areas

Terminal plating protection + Case rustproofing

Extreme Cold Zones

Insulation cover + Maintain full charge to prevent freeze damage

4️⃣ ‌Fault Warning Signs

Startup delay >5 seconds

Headlight brightness fluctuates noticeably with RPM

Battery swelling/leaking fluid (replace immediately)

🔋 Essential for Extended Lifespan! Scientific Maintenance Guide for Automotive Lead-Acid Batteries (Includes Globally Applicable Solutions)

  1. Avoid parking the car in an open-air parking lot for a long time. If it is parked for a long time, the battery should be removed and taken away to prevent it from freezing and damaging.

  2. The engine of the car is not easy to start in winter. The time for each start should not exceed 5 seconds, and the interval time for the next start should be no less than 15 seconds. If it still can't be started after many starts, the reason should be found from other aspects such as circuit, ignition coil or fuel supply. Avoid starting many times continuously, which will cause the battery to be burned out due to excessive discharge.

  3. The car battery should be charged frequently. The battery will slowly discharge by itself for a long time until it is scrapped. Therefore, the car should be started every period of time to charge the battery.

  4. Clean the battery terminals and apply special grease to protect the wiring harness. Check the accessories and wiring on the battery regularly.

  5. It is forbidden to use car appliances after the car is turned off. Using the battery alone when the engine is not generating electricity will cause damage to it.
