Repair and operation of the car

Check, service and load of the battery recarregável (each one 12.000 km of a race or time during 6 months)

Service

Instruments and necessary materials in service of the battery recarregável

1. A front advice / wide eyes — during the removal of a rigid brush of aspects of the corrosion the acid particles crystallized easily can enter in eyes. 2. The cozedura of carbonate of sodium — water solution of roasting the carbonate of sodium is in use for the neutralization of aspects of the corrosion. 3. Free acid vaseline — the lubrication of captures of the battery will help to avoid the development of corrosion in the future. 4. The device to clean of captures of batteries / hints of wires — a few special mouths of brush of the form of a rigid wire will help to smooth effectively taken of the battery and terminal clips. 5. The impregnated felt lavadores — the installation of such a lavador straightly below a terminal clip will allow to avoid the development of corrosion. 6. An artist of streaptise — sometimes shears they put themselves in taken very densely and do not give in to the removal even of an otpuskaniye full of the fixation. 7. The device to clean of captures of batteries / hints of wires — in spite of the fact that it disagrees over a drawing mentioned in the point 4, is destined for the realization of the same tasks. 8. The rubber gloves — must not be uses neglected of this protectant – are not forgotten of that the battery contains the sulphuric acid!

ORDER OF REALIZATION

1. The conscientious attitude to artistic proceedings of the regular preventive maintenance of the battery recarregável is the only key to bystry and launch without problems of the motor. Before undertaking the service of the battery, one secures available near to to the hand all the necessary materials and instruments that guarantee the security of the work (to see an illustration in top). 2. There are more some measures for precaution you add what have to be observed executing the service of the battery. Before the initial realization of the work, without matt fail the motor and there put everything out the consumers of the electric power. Desconecte a negative wire of the battery. 3. Remember that in banks of the battery the hydrogen that is not only easily flammable, but also to explosive gases it is given out. Do not bring near the place of works with the naked flame or the cigaret illuminated in absolute, try to use only the instrument neiskroobrazuyushchy. It does the load of battery in the well ventilated fourth one. 4. The eletrólito represents the solution of the relationship of sulphuric acid not only to the poisonous category, but also to extremely chemically aggressive connections. Do not allow the blow of the eletrólito in eyes, in open parts of the body and the articles of the clothes. To execute the service of the battery, when wide eyes and gloves were put, does not allow to children to bring near the place of works. 5. Study an extern condition of the battery. If the positive capture of the battery with the clip that puts itself if it equips of the covering of protection of rubber, secures what the last thing does not damage. The covering will cover component metal of the terminal connection completely. Check a state and the confidence of the fixation of terminal connections, examine a covering and a covering of the battery in the existence of slits and other damages. One secures of the confidence of the fixation of holding tight pins. Appreciate a condition of the isolation of wires of the battery in the whole length of the last one. 6. In some models the batteries of the equipped tight type of indicative of level of load are installed (companion sees an illustration). Compare the color of a place of indicator in an observation port to the card of states applied in the special etiquette glued in case of battery. Regularly check a condition of the battery, in case of the necessity in due course it does the load. 7th. In case of the detection in the surface of the battery of aspects of the corrosion in the form of a white powdered raid (companion sees an illustration), specially near to a captures agreement, is necessary to withdraw the battery of the car to execute the careful extern cleaning. 7b. Weaken a few pins of pull of terminal clips (in the first negation!) (companion sees an illustration) and carefully desconectam of the wire battery. Give the fixation of a level of pressure, lift the last thing and take the battery of a compartment of reason. 8th. Carefully smooth surfaces of contact of terminal clips and polar captures of the battery a special brush with the use of the solution of roasting the carbonate of sodium (companions to see illustrations). 8b. The same solution smooths when they were taken of the battery and wash out a surface of his covering – it looks at that solution it did not bring cans near. It does the cleaning in a protective mask / glasses and gloves of rubber to avoid the blow of particles of acid in eyes and to hands. Try to catch also the corresponding clothes that will not be a compassion of then rejecting. Having finished the cleaning, rinse the surfaces prosecuted with the clean water. 9. Check a condition of the trundle bed of the battery and the hair clips of hair of the fixation of a level of pressure. Wash out the solution of trundle bed of roasting the carbonate of sodium, prosecute the sieges damaged by the escorvador of corrosion in a base from zinc. 10. Before the installation of the battery it are secured what in the trundle bed no instrument and the materials leave. 11. Do not draw excessively a nut of a level of pressure. 12. Since the protection of terminal connections against the corrosion put polar captures of the battery of a special way the prosecuted felt lavadores, when there joined wires, copper terminal knots of the free vaseline of acid. 13. Confidence of trace of pressure of fixation of clips.

Load

During the exercises in banks of the battery be an allocation in the highest measure of easily flammable and flammable hydrogen! Do not smoke and it does not bring near the place of the load of the naked flame. To bring near a siege of installation of battery, when wide eyes were put. Before the battery adheres to a porter, or desconectá-lo they secure that the device is disconnected of the food.

The authors of the present manual recommend to do the load of battery out of the car like the gas that is given out during the proceeding is chemically aggressive regarding coverings of varnish and painting. The realization of bystry re-overdoes without lack of interest of the battery of wires can lead to the failure of component ones of the electric equipment of the car.

In the best way of the restoration of the level of a load of the battery that sat down up to such a point when it is incompetent to supply the launch of the motor, his slow load is. This way of collecting also is the best for batteries of the cars used in the way of short travels. The preservation of the level of a load of the battery is particularly important in the winter station when the most averse conditions of the point of view of the load of the accumulator are created during the complicated launches of the motor and the increased intensity of the consumers' functioning of the electric power.

He is the best of all to use the device for the office junior they re-overdo for the small current (1÷2 A) sometimes called by also the decrease zaryazhatel). Such porters provide the best way of the load of battery of the least load of the last one. Since more bystry re-overdo of the battery it is possible to use the provision of power of the biggest current, remembers nevertheless that the very admissible force of collecting the current must not exceed 1/10 of the size of capacity of battery (his sentry of ampere of the characteristic). In the moment of the forced load, according to some users whom they allow to restore level of load during two hours, the load of the battery is so high that quite very often there is his irrevocable exit out of the operation, – they try he avoids what about way of recarregue - him resorting only in the extraordinary emergence.

The middle duration of the period of the battery which snake has to be specified in the education annexed in a play to a porter. Normally it does of 12 for 16 hours.

Discover mouths of all the cans of the battery (if you arrange if they supply) and an opening zakuporta pure rags to avoid the inclination of eletrólito. Desconecte a negative wire of the battery and, observing the polarity, join clips of hints of wires of the porter to taken of battery (I make positive – to positive, negative – to the negation). The porter lights in the net. If the device is equipped of the selecting key, it is secured what the last thing establishes in the situation of the 12th century.

When it uses the provision of power with the load of more than two current amperes regularly it checks the battery, looking that it was no his overheating it. During the slow load after the initial control of two hours it is possible to leave the battery certainly to be loaded without supervision in the whole night.

If the banks of the loaded battery are provided with gooey mouths with removable coverings, try to check of hour in hour inside several first hours of collecting the specific weight of the eletrólito. Many producers specially with this finality launch quite cheap devices called for areometers what can be bought practically in any shop of motor accessories. When it uses the areometer it follows the educations of manufacturers annexed to him. Continue the battery that it collects until during the last modification of measurements of two hours of the density of the eletrólito in the condition of his free "boiling" (puzyreniye) in banks it does not stop. Remember that in the useful battery the difference between the specific weight of the eletrólito in all the banks will be very small.

Some batteries are put in the welded case and are equipped of the built areometer that there allows to determine visually the level of load of the battery coloring from a place to colors in a port of observation of the case. The usual brilliant coloration of a place to colors testifies at the high level of a load of the battery. The dark color of a place says that the still precise battery of re-overdoing.

In batteries with the case held tight without the built areometer (indicative of level of load) the check of the level of a load can be executed by the connection to taken of battery of voltômetro. The tension of production of the completely loaded battery will do more low than 12,6 In the ambassador of the removal of a superficial load.
