Analysis of generator set starting battery charging problem

in useGenerator set, have you ever paid attention to the startup battery section? How should it be charged and how should normal maintenance be performed? Now, let Haixing Power, an experienced generator set manufacturer, analyze this operation in detail for everyone.

Correct charging method is very important, it is the basic condition to ensure the service life of the battery. It is recommended to use the original charger as much as possible, because the charger matches the configured battery. The supplementary current, charging voltage and conversion current, float voltage, float current, etc. are all determined in advance, and the parameters of other chargers may be different, resulting in a mismatch with the battery being charged, which not only affects the charging effect, but also Will affect the battery life.

Let’s talk about the charging environment. Choosing a suitable charging environment is very important. The battery charging process often generates corresponding heat, so it is recommended to charge the battery in an open and ventilated place. It is strictly forbidden to cover the charger with foreign objects during charging, otherwise it is easy to damage the charger and battery, and even cause a fire accident. In addition, the charger is strictly prohibited from being exposed to water or rain.

The length and frequency of charging times should also be noted. When using batteries, you must develop the habit of charging frequently to ensure that the battery is always fully charged. Never wait for the battery to run out before recharging to avoid shortening the battery life due to 'deep discharge'. Also do not turn the battery upside down while charging. A fully charged battery should be recharged once a month if left unused for a long time.

How to check whether the battery is charging normally? You can use the following methods:

If you have a three-purpose ammeter, after starting the engine, measure the voltage on both poles of the battery. It must exceed 13V to be considered normal. If you find that the charging voltage is too low, you need to ask a professional to repair it. If there is no three-purpose electric meter, visual inspection can be used. The specific method is: after starting the engine, open the water filling cap of the battery and see if there are bubbles emerging from each small grid. Normally, bubbles are constantly popping up, and the more the battery is charged, the more bubbles will pop up. If there are no bubbles coming out, there may be something wrong with the charging system. A special reminder here is to be careful not to smoke on site at this time. Because hydrogen gas will be produced during this inspection, smoking may lead to the risk of explosion and fire.
