CAUSE | SOLUTION |
Too low electrolyte level |
| Recharge. Evaporation (especially in summer) | Fill with distilled water to bring the electrolyte level to the prescribed (with charged battery) |
The electrolyte flows from congestion |
| Too high charging voltage | Check voltage regulator, replace if necessary |
| Too high levels of electrolyte | Suck the excess electrolyte pear |
Too low density of the electrolyte |
| The density of the electrolyte in a bank is much less than in other banks | Short circuit in one bank |
| The electrolyte density in two adjacent banks is considerably less than in the other | Leaky partition wall, so there is conductivity between the banks, so that they both are discharged. Replace battery |
| The battery is discharged | Charge the battery |
| Faulty Generator | Check generator, if necessary, repair or replace the |
| Short circuit in the wiring | Check the electrical system |
| The electrolyte due to improper service is too diluted with water | Align the density of the electrolyte |
The density of the electrolyte is too high |
| I refill the electrolyte | Align the density of the electrolyte |
Output power is too low, the voltage drops sharply |
| The battery is discharged | Then charged battery |
| Too little charging voltage | Check voltage regulator, replace if necessary |
| Terminals loose or oxidized | Clean the connecting terminals and particularly the lower side, spread a light layer of petroleum jelly. Tighten the mounting screws |
| Bad connection weight: battery-motor body | Check the connection of the masses, if necessary, to restore the metal contact and tighten the screws |
| Too great a self-discharge of the battery, resulting in contamination of the electrolyte | Replace battery |
| Possible battery sulfation (gray-white coating on the plus and minus plates) | CHARGING small currents to remove plaque. If after repeated charge and discharge power output is still low, replace the battery |
| The battery is worn out, the shedding of active mass of plates | Replace battery |
Insufficient battery charging |
| Faulty alternator, voltage regulator or connection wires | Check generator and a voltage regulator, repaired or replaced; fix Guides |
| V-belt is loose | Tighten or replace V-belt |
| Too many users are connected | Install a more powerful battery, if possible, install a new generator |
Constant reload |
| Faulty voltage regulator and generator possible | Replace the voltage regulator, check the generator |
