Does the battery need to be discharged before adding water?

Batteries are consumable parts, and more and more people pay attention to the maintenance of batteries with water. Then the problem comes, some people say that the battery must be discharged before adding water, so that the effect of adding water is stronger. Some people say that it is not necessary, so is it necessary to discharge before adding water? Let’s get to learn together.In fact, not all battery problems can be solved by adding water! If you want to add water to the battery, you must first discharge it in advance, so the effect is better. Most of the batteries are maintenance-free. The shell of this battery is sealed and cannot be filled with water. If the battery is aging, it can only be replaced and cannot be repaired by adding water. There is a cover on the battery that can be filled with water. This cover can be unscrewed, and distilled water can be filled after unscrewing.During the use of our batteries, the electrolyte will decrease, and the battery’s storage capacity will decrease after the electrolyte decreases. After the electrolyte is reduced, it can be replenished by adding distilled water. The reason for the decline in battery storage capacity is also the loss of ions.

In addition, there are many reasons why the battery fails to add water, as follows:

  • The water capacity of the new battery will drop!
  • Add too much water to the battery after moderate dehydration, and the battery capacity will drop!
  • The plate is severely softened, adding water will increase the shedding, and the capacity will decrease!
  • The added water contains more impurities, and the capacity decreases!
  • Use it immediately after adding water, if it is not sufficiently static, the capacity will drop
  • Vulcanized battery, after adding water, it has not been charged (bubbles generated by charging to wash the plate to remove vulcanization), and the capacity drops

For maintenance-free batteries, there is no need to add water. This kind of battery is fully sealed. If there is a decrease in battery life, it is usually caused by battery aging. You can only choose to replace it with a new one, and you cannot add water to repair it. For ordinary batteries, if the electrolyte is insufficient, water can be added. It is recommended to add water after discharge, which is better. You can use the battery water gun to add water. One-button water replenishment, automatic sensor shutdown, can effectively ensure the consistency of the water level, can effectively improve the efficiency of water maintenance, and ensure the consistency of battery unit characteristics after water maintenance. Improve battery performance and service life.

Due to the complicated and error-prone operation of adding water to the battery, the control of manual water addition is not precise, and too much or insufficient water will affect the balance of battery characteristics and lead to shortened battery life. Operators are prone to safety hazards in the face of acid corrosion. The battery water gun is self-developed and produced by our company. It is a special tool for water maintenance of lead-acid batteries. It can make water maintenance more efficient and convenient, and can solve the problems of inaccurate control of manual water addition and excessive or insufficient water addition.
