Check of a condition of the battery, care it and зарядка*

* The given procedure THAT also is not included into the Schedule recommended by the manufacturer, the present section is added in the Head Current leaving and service at the initiative of composers in view of special importance of maintenance of the storage battery in good repair at car operation in areas with a frigid climate.

The general information

Established the right back corner of an impellent compartment 12-voltnaja the battery consists of six банок in which positive and negative plates (ламели), shipped in a solution of sulfuric acid are placed. The battery main task is production of the current necessary for realisation of start of the engine, maintenance of ignition/activation of candles накаливания, and also functioning of lighting devices and other onboard and auxiliary consumers of the electric power.

Absolute return of the battery takes place at an ambient temperature 27С, at-18S efficiency of return falls to 40 % and for realisation of start of the engine it is required in two with small time of more energy. Two basic indicators, allowing to estimate battery performance data the starting current and reserve capacity are.

The starting current (starting capacity) shows ability of the accumulator to start the engine in the conditions of very cold weather. The given parametre declares current size (in Amperes) which the battery is capable to give within 30 seconds at temperature-18S without a power failure more low 7.2 In (a minimum level demanded for reliable start). The above given indicator, the more starting capacity of the accumulator.

Reserve capacity shows time in minutes during which the battery is capable to develop a current force of 25 Amperes at 27С, i.e. the period of the guaranteed functioning of all auxiliary onboard consumers of the electric power in the conditions of bad light exposure/in a rain/in cold weather, and also at the faulty generator.

In winter conditions, at temperatures more low-18S efficiency of additional charge of the battery decreases in view of increase of internal resistance. In the conditions of an intense city cycle in cold weather of loss of the energy spent by the battery on start of the engine, have not time to be filled during movement on rather short routes in view of what the battery begins works on deterioration, being gradually discharged and, eventually, fails it is irreversible.

In summer months at long trips start it is strong разогретого the engine also can demand considerable (not smaller than in frosty weather) electric power expenses, - told in a special measure concerns the models equipped высококомпрессионными with engines with the big working volume of cylinders, and also to the models equipped with a central air of air.
