Sealed Rechargeable Motorcycle Battery 12v 7Ah 2.18kg Overcharging Protection

Answers to Common Questions about Batteries

1, Do lead acid batteries discharge when not in use?

All batteries, regardless of their chemistry, will self-discharge. The rate of self-discharge for lead acid batteries depends on the storage or operating temperature. At a temperature of 80 degrees F. a lead acid battery will self-discharge at a rate of approximately 4% a week. A battery with a 125-amp hour rating would self-discharge at a rate of approximately five amps per week. Keeping this in mind if a 125 AH battery is stored for four months (16 weeks) winter without being charged, it will loose 80 amps of its 125-amp capacity. It will also have severe sulfation, which causes additional loss of capacity. Keep your batteries charged while not in use!

2, Do lead acid batteries develop a memory?

Lead acid batteries do not develop any type of memory.

3, Do I need to completely discharge my lead acid battery before recharging it?

No, in fact you should never discharge your lead acid battery below 80% of its rated capacity. Discharging it below this point or 10.5 volts can damage it.

4, When do I need to perform an equalization charge?

Equalizing should be performed when a battery is first purchased (called a freshening charge) and on a regular basis (every 10 discharge cycles or at least once a month). Reduced performance can also be an indicator that an equalizing charge is needed.

5, What is an equalizing charge?

An equalizing charge for a 12 volt battery requires that it be charged with a voltage of at least 14.4 volts for a period of at least one hour once a month, or every 10 discharge cycles. An equalizing charge prevents battery stratification and reduces sulfation, the leading cause of battery failure.

6, When should I add water to my batteries?

How often you use and recharge your batteries will determine the frequency of watering. Also, using batteries in a hot climate will require more frequent watering. It is best to check your battery water level frequently and add distilled water when needed. Never add tap water to your battery. Tap water contains minerals that will reduce battery capacity and increase their self-discharge rate.

Warning - A brand new battery may have a low electrolyte level. Charge the battery first and then add water if needed. Adding water to a battery before charging may result in overflow of the electrolyte.

Advantage of Chuangxiang motorcycle battery

Plate: Adopt unique formula improving utilization of active material in plate, in adition, high pure lead ingot(#1 lead purity is 99.99%) as raw material, so high cold cranking performance and low self discharge rate.

Seperator: Absorbed glass mat technology, superior ability of absorbing acid contributes to eliminate acid spill.

Terminal: High integrity of terminal sealing avoids acid leak, lead or copper terminal for choose.

Container: Reinforced ABS container great performance-resistance to gasoline and alcohol gasoline. Integrity of ABS container can resist the leak of gas and acid during the process of useage, it is environmental.

Quality control: All material must be strictly inspected before use, each process is strictly implemented by standard operation procedure, each product must be inspected before delivery to assure high quality product to client.
