Filling a dry pre-charged battery
Dry pre-charged batteries must be filled with battery acid and charged before installation.
Checking the liquid level against sulphation
In a battery or accumulator, the chemical reaction between the active material of the grids and the acid generates current (electrons emitted) to supply the loads or stores current (electrons) provided by the charger or alternator.
If the acid only partially …
Caring for seasonally used starter batteries
Some batteries are only used seasonally - those in classic cars, motorcycles, boats, jet skis or snowmobiles, but also in certain utility, security or clearance vehicles.
If a battery is installed in a vehicle that is not used for a long time, it will …
This battery is maintenance free after initial charging.
In this it differs from other dry pre-charged batteries which are low maintenance.
Due to the AGM technology, only a little gas is produced in the battery, which is discharged via the safety valve. …
Chargers for rescue and safety vehicles
Emergency and rescue vehicles and other safety-related types of vehicles often sit around for months, but when it comes down to it, they need to be ready at a moment's notice to put out fires, rescue injured people or clear roads.
Chargers like the Fronius …
AGM and SLA Motorcycle Batteries
In these valve regulated batteries, the acid is bound in fleece (Absorbent Glass Mat). They lose very little liquid and are absolutely maintenance-free when sealed at the factory. AGM batteries, which come with an acid pack, are maintenance free after …
Ideally, batteries should be kept dry. Even slight moisture can promote leakage currents.
If you've noticed condensation on your battery frequently in the past, such as with temperature fluctuations, or water can get to your battery, it's worth considering …
In a nutshell, the battery generates electricity, which it delivers to the consumers. It is charged and is ready again.
So far, so good. Meanwhile, a bit of chemistry happens inside the battery.
Current flow
In principle, current flows between a positive …
Why does the intAct Bike-Power AGM not have a vent hose?
The intAct Bike-Power AGM is a VRLA battery, i.e. a valve-regulated lead acid battery. The little gas that is produced is returned to the circuit by gas recombination and overpressure is prevented by the safety valve. The usual venting of wet batteries …
Always choose a battery that suits your individual requirements
Each battery technology has particular strengths, but also weaknesses. Depending on the requirements your battery has to meet in the respective application, or which properties you want, some battery technologies are more suitable or less suitable.
It is important to weigh up the properties.
