Battery Electrolyte Leakage and Charging Failure: Checks and Solutions
Methods to check and handle battery leakage and charging failure
Problems with electric vehicle batteries during use are inevitable. For experts these are minor issues, but for laymen, a lack of understanding and wrong operation may end up scrapping the battery, which then has to be bought again. Sellers of Xupai battery, a leading brand of high-quality electric vehicle batteries, say that knowing something about the battery greatly helps its maintenance.
Survey feedback data show that two situations fail most often: battery electrolyte leakage and the battery refusing to accept charge. For these two, the inspection and handling methods are as follows:
First, inspection and handling of battery leakage
In general there are four situations of battery leakage. The most common is poor sealing between the top cover and the bottom tank, causing cracks. Leakage at the safety valve and leakage at the terminals also occur, though less frequently. The last kind is leakage at other parts. For these four situations, Xupai battery sellers offer the following handling methods:
1. First inspect the appearance of the battery. Very often the case is damaged because of carelessness while riding, so check whether the case is broken and rule this out before the next step.
2. Take off the panel and check whether the safety valve shows traces of leakage. If not, go to the next step; if yes, the safety valve needs to be overhauled.
3. If the first two steps show no abnormality, Xupai battery sellers suggest an air-tightness test, that is, pressurize the battery with air under water and look for bubbles. Bubbles mean leakage; none means normal.
4. During charging, observe whether there is flowing electrolyte, and if so, pump it out.
Xupai battery sellers point out that battery leakage is closely related to quality, so users must insist on branded products when purchasing and not covet cheap goods. Xupai batteries not only have good quality, high range and large capacity, but also a long warranty period, freeing users from worries.
Second, causes and handling of an electric vehicle battery that cannot be charged
1. Check whether the charging circuit is correct and reliable, and also whether the connection lines are fixed, whether the plug and socket are powered or make good contact, and whether the wires are damaged. These external factors must be ruled out first, so that you can proceed to the next step with confidence.
2. Check whether the charger is intact. Some users are in the habit of carrying the charger on the vehicle, and bumps easily damage the charger so that it cannot charge. Therefore it is very important to check whether the charger works normally.
3. Check whether the inside of the battery lacks water. If it does, add water. During replenishment, always remember less rather than more, and use a dropper, so that the quality is ensured and the battery is protected from damage.
Xupai battery finally reminds everyone: when leakage or charging failure occurs, handle it in time so that the use effect is guaranteed.
