A tanned battery charging light on the car panel, this is the norm, but this is the norm when the engine is started, then it goes well. But it happens that after the launch it continues to burn. This is evidence that the battery needs charging.

Rechargeable battery and car

The rechargeable battery plays an important role in the working capacity of the car. She is responsible for many functions, without which the car is just not to do.

One of the main tasks of the battery is that it takes part in the engine start. It is also used as a source of additional energy that helps the generator to cope with the load in the electrical network. It happens that the generator, by somehow stopped working and the AKB comes to the rescue. On its energy you can get to the near service station and remove the problem with the generator.

A particularly valuable, battery, in modern cars, which have a huge number of all the devices that work from current energy. These are electric windows, musical systems, light, air conditioning and much more. As can be seen, the battery performs an important function for the car and its owner. But what if the battery is faulty? The answer is obvious. Eliminate malfunction.

Factory battery malfunctions

The car's battery can be faulty both by the fault of the manufacturer and the fault of who uses it.

The manufacturer's fault is that the battery originally has a defect and its work has a low indicator. If a poor-quality battery, then you can notice a malfunction in its work after a short time. If you purchased the goods and saved the check, or the warranty card, you are very lucky. So you can go to a special workshop or to the seller of the goods and demand to replace or return the money.

The warranty card should be the brand of the battery, the manufacturer and its technical capabilities. Thus, retaining this check, (coupon), you can safely contact the workshop and solve the reason why the battery has lost its technical characteristics.

Defects for the manufacturer's fault:

• Tarve the chain in the battery, on which there is a current
• Circuit between different charges in the batches of AKB
• Incorrectly formed mass of active electrodes
• The gap of the bridges along which the electrodes and others are moving.

. It is worth choosing a battery with high quality characteristics and proven producers.

How to choose a battery for your car

To buy Akb, you must be sure that she has already worked out.

And how to understand that it is time to replace the battery? There is nothing difficult in this. Before you pay attention to the "cries of help" of your car.

If you once came to the garage, start the car, and the battery charging button on the panel does not disappear (you are sure that the generator works properly), and only yesterday you charged it, then it means that it is time to change the battery.

Or another example, the battery does not charge at all.

And the last option is what you need a new battery if there are damage to the battery case. Of course, you can try to restore the battery life yourself (unless of course there is no damage to the battery box, leakage, etc.).
You can try to pour a new electrolyte, distilled water and the desulfuting additive to the electrolyte.

Then charge it and discharge.

Such simple methods can still restore the performance of the battery.

But it should be done only if you have at least some experience in working with electrolytes and other components of the battery, because it can be dangerous. Or you should read the instructions and tips how to restore the battery.

choosing AKB

When choosing it is worth knowing the basic information of the AKB, and this is its container, location of the terminals and the size of the battery.
As for the container, to begin with, you should know the capacity of that battery that you have in stock.

Typically, the capacity is written on the label, which is glued on the same acb.

And of course the capacity of the battery must match the brand of your car.

Because if the capacity of the battery will be higher than the limits of your car, then the generator will not have time to charge the battery, and if on the contrary, then the battery will be recharged all the time, which will eventually lead it to unsuitability.

location of terminals

You need to know which side on the battery you have a plus, and which side is mine, in order to have enough, long wires for connecting.

If, for example, your Akb plus (+) is a right side, and you bought a battery and (+) to be left, then you will not be able to connect to it.

dimensions of AKB

Taking roulettes, make measurements of the height, width and length of the battery, all sizes should be the same in the new battery.

An important element when choosing an Akb is its date of manufacture.

After all, the period of operation of the AKB is 3-5 years. The age of the battery is determined from the time when the electrolyte was flooded.

how to check the battery, buying it

Upon acquiring AKB, you must check its performance.

If the store is solid, then it has the opportunity to check it out. For this, there are a special device in such stores, checking the bulb 12 V. does not give 100% guarantee that the battery works correctly.

The improper operational relationship is also able to reduce the performance of the AKB. How? And everything is quite simple.

If it is incorrect to handle any subject, it fails. So with the battery.

Some car owners as they are inexperienced, or due to other reasons, do not pay attention to the level of electrolytes in the battery and the state of the electrical systems of their four-legged friend.

Battery malfunctions

Causes of defects that appeared on time using AKB:

• Oxidation on terminals (due to not cleaning)
• Operation for a long time with a low charge and electrolyte level
• Vibration AKB
• Freezing of electrolyte for minus temperatures
• The explosion of a rude gas (electrolyte below the upper edges of the electrodes)
• Corrosion of the arrays of electrodes with (+)
• Short circuit between electrodes

It is worth remembering that it is dangerous to pour independently, and it is unacceptable, and even more so acid into the box.

As can be seen quite a lot, both by the fault of the manufacturer and from the owner of the battery. Therefore, it is worth doing everything as indicated in the instructions for use. After all, non-compliance with these norms will lead to the fact that the battery will simply become unsuitable for use.

When the battery failed, a special light bulb lights up on the car in the car, which indicates that the driver must not ignore the warning, but to correct the breakdown.

Often, pins are oxidized on the battery, (terminals) that come out of it.

Because of this, the current ceases to enter the elements that need it.

There is an increase in current resistance in the chain, and this leads to the inability to the entire electrician.

Also a malfunction in the car battery may be an insufficient amount of electrolytes or distilled water. Whatever it was, but it needs to be corrected.

Battery Main Faults:

• sulfate
• short circuit plates
• increased self-discharge,
• loss of electrolyte through damage in the box
• oxidation of contacts (terminals and pins).

Generator malfunctions

The battery and the generator are closely interconnected in their work, and therefore if one does not work well, after a while and the second will also fail.

That is why it is very important to follow the state of the battery, so that the generator worked and vice versa.

Frequent malfunctions of the generator:

• breakdown of pulley;
• unsuitability of current-grayscale brushes;
• collector wear;
• incorrect operation of the voltage relay;
• closing turns of the stator winding;
• wear or unsuitability of bearings;
• problems in the rectifier;
• the failure of the charging chain wires.

Those who have a car, you need to know that the generators have direct current and variable. Modern cars have an AC generator with a diode rectifier.

This rectifier is built into the generator in order to redo the non-permanent current, permanent, it is necessary for normal electrical appliances. It is located in the generator lid.

And since the generator connects with the crankshaft, then the faster the car rides, the generator turns faster, respectively, the current will be larger.

And the relay regulator helps not to break the light bulbs, various electrical appliances of the car. In the modern car, the current regulator is already built into the generator.

The generator for the car is very important, that's why it is worth not allowing it to breakage.

how to check the operation of the generator

The operation of the generator is carried out by a multimeter. Initially, it is worth paying attention to the generator belt. Whether it stretches enough.

If noise is heard in the generator and it is hot, these bearings are not enough to use.
If there are no visible changes, then check the voltage on the battery. Verification is performed on the engine on and off.

In a state of rest, the tension is equal to 12.5-12.8 V., and with revolutions of 2 thousand. It reaches 13.5-14.5. If the generator works correctly, then the numbers will be.

If different indicators, then you need to disassemble the generator and explore all its elements such as:
- Brushes and rings
- diode bridge
- Voltage relay
- Stator
- Rotor.
Listening on time to your car, you can protect yourself from unpleasant situations and your car from breakage.
