One of the most common accessories is a battery terminal cleaner. Over time, corrosion can build up on the terminals, which may lead to poor electrical connections and reduced battery efficiency. A terminal cleaner is designed to remove this corrosion safely and effectively. Similarly, terminal protectors, often in the form of sprays or pads, can help prevent future corrosion.
The Importance of Demineralised Water
Demineralised water plays a crucial role in the maintenance of lead-acid car batteries. These batteries rely on a mixture of water and sulphuric acid to function properly. Over time, water within the battery evaporates, which can lead to a drop in electrolyte levels. Topping up the battery with demineralised water ensures that it continues to operate efficiently.
It is important to use demineralised water rather than tap water because the latter contains minerals and impurities that can damage the battery. Minerals such as calcium and magnesium can lead to the formation of deposits on the battery plates, reducing their ability to hold a charge. Additionally, impurities in tap water may accelerate corrosion, shortening the lifespan of the battery.
When adding demineralised water to a battery, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines. Overfilling the battery can cause the electrolyte to spill, while underfilling may lead to exposure of the plates, which can result in damage. Always ensure that the water level is just above the plates, and use a funnel for precise pouring.
