How to maintain the starting battery of Weichai diesel generator set

For safety reasons, when maintaining the starting battery of Weichai diesel generator sets, it is recommended to wear an acid resistant apron and a hood or protective goggles. If the electrolyte accidentally splashes onto the skin or clothing, it should be immediately rinsed with plenty of water.

The battery is dry when it is first randomly delivered to the user. When starting the diesel generator set, attention should be paid to adding the electrolyte with the correct specific gravity (1:1.28) that has been evenly mixed before use. Unscrew the top cover of the battery compartment and slowly inject electrolyte until it is located between the two scale lines on the upper part of the metal sheet and as close as possible to the upper scale line. After adding it, please do not use it immediately. Let the battery sit for about 15 minutes first.

When maintaining the starting battery of Weichai diesel generator set, it should be noted that the continuous charging time should not exceed 4 hours during the first charging of the battery. Charging for too long will damage the service life of the battery. When one of the following situations occurs, the charging time can be appropriately extended: if the battery is stored for more than 3 months, the charging time can be 8 hours, if the ambient temperature continues to exceed 30 ℃ (86 ° F) or the relative humidity continues to be above 80%, the charging time is 8 hours. If the battery is stored for more than 1 year, the charging time can be 12 hours. When charging is about to end, the electrolyte level should be checked to ensure that it is sufficient, and if necessary, standard electrolyte with the correct specific gravity (1:1.28) can be added.
