1. When the battery is in use, it should be securely installed and the wiring clip should have excellent contact with the battery terminal. Apply a layer of butter on the surface of the terminal post to prevent oxidation.
2. When the battery is used for a long time, distilled water should be added to the inside of the battery in a timely manner to prevent the electrode plate from exposing the liquid surface and oxidizing, which will affect the battery capacity.
3. The starting time of a diesel engine should not exceed 10 seconds, and the interval between the second start should generally be controlled at 2 minutes or more. Prevent the battery from continuously discharging for too long, which may cause thermal deformation of the plates, resulting in short circuits or material detachment, and reduce the capacity of the battery.
4. Persist in keeping the appearance of the battery clean. When there is acid, promptly wipe it with distilled water or purified water.
5. Check the exhaust hole on the sealing cover, which must be kept unobstructed at all times to prevent blockage and battery explosion.
6. When the diesel generator team leader is not working at all times, the diesel engine should be started regularly to charge the battery or a dedicated charger should be used to charge the battery.
7. Check the density of the electrolyte. Insert the rubber tube of the densitometer into the battery and suck in the electrolyte until the densitometer is just about to float and the upper end is not pushed against, and the scale aligned with the liquid level on the densitometer is the density of the electrolyte.
