Battery Demands

Batteries appear to be the single most crucial component within a car. Long after you have turned the engine off, batteries are continually supplying multiple electrical components Using the power they need, such as; engine management systems, sat nav, alarm, clock, radio memory, and more. because of this demand, batteries can grow to be drained in a matter of weeks if not maintained in the correct manner by either driving the vehicle long enough to replace lost charge or by the use of a battery charger.

When planning to not use your vehicle for extended periods, checking and boosting each 30 - 60 days is merely not enough to ensure your battery is not going to self-discharge to a serious level. This 'under charging' outcomes in 'sulphation' if the battery voltage is allowed to drop and remain below 12.4 volts. This sulphation is the hardening of these lead plates within the battery and it reduces the battery's ability to accept or hold a charge. This extremely is where we would then recommend the use of a charger to keep the charge in a battery.

Charging

There appear to be a couple of distinct approaches of charging to maintain a battery:

Charge using a regular battery charger. Downside of This very is that often these are not automatic and do not turn themselves off when full charge is reached. If left unattended a battery can become 'boiled dry' in one overcharging. The battery becomes quite harmful as a result of highly explosive gasses produced from charging at a high rate and the casing becoming quite warm introducing a fire risk.
Trickle charging. This is where the charging device gives the connected battery a low steady charge. Drawback of this approach is that these will only give out a constant low charge that's often not enough to keep a battery above the serious voltage of 12.4 volts. In essence they may maintain a great battery but not recharge it if the voltage level becomes too low.
Battery conditioners. At Windrush Car Storage we connect all vehicles to a battery conditioner. These seem to be fully automatic battery chargers, And also this monitor, charge and maintain the battery without the risk of overcharging. These may be left switched on and connected for long periods of time (years) without having the risk of gassing or overheating. Simply the ultimate of both of these above.

Battery maintenance

prior to connecting a charger It is advisable to be aware of a few standard points;

make certain battery fluid level is between the minimum and maximum marks, if the battery is not a sealed unit. Top up with distilled or de-ionised water (the acid in the battery does not need replacing since It is not consumed).
Clean battery terminals and lead connectors with a wire brush, make certain the certain and negative leads make a good fit to each and every of those terminal posts and make usage of a dedicated battery terminal spray or petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.

Note: before disconnecting the battery, make certain that you've the relevant code towards the radio if required. This will have to be entered for the radio to function on re-connection of the battery.
