Battery / battery healthy, crucial for the car electrical system. Battery is not maintained, not only affect the car, but also risky to explode. Risk exploded always reminded by the label attached, even though many users have neglected to notice.

Battery-Car

Battery can explode suddenly, without any prior warning. And if you stand close and can not be avoided, battery acid can injure you. Similarly, the engine compartment, pipes and cable systems are strong acids directly ingested it.

How battery can explode and what steps to prevent it?

As we know, the battery produces electricity from chemical reactions that one is a hydrogen by-product. Hydrogen gas is highly flammable. Because the heat of chemical reactions in the battery, too hot engine compartment, hydrogen is ejected out.

Danger arises when the time was a spark at around battery, if hydrogen gas fire spattered the battery to explode. Sources could spark the battery itself, may also from user carelessness, never happened because tweaking, smoking, battery exploded.

Trigger another spark between the plates is a touch. With disposable battery age, less acid and plate is no longer submerged. This can cause the curved plate. When the key start playing, the electricity demand in large numbers to move the starter motor could cause it to be curved plate bending can be in contact with another plate to cause a spark.

The most common cause of the explosion at start battery is battery poles and wires dirty. Stools were blocking the flow of electricity and could cause a spark jumps. So the habit to check and clean the battery regularly is very beneficial.

In addition to the custom of the less precise jumpers too risky, Many motorists mistakenly by installing jumper cable to a good battery, then connect to the battery is weak. This could cause a spark. Get used to put jumper cables on weak battery first, before connected to the good battery.

Just to remind, the procedure is;

-         Prepare the first jumper cable and a second position adjacent to the car but do not touch each other.

-         Turn off all lights, radios, air conditioners and other electronic components. Clean also the two poles of a dirty car.
Open the battery cover and replace it with a cloth to reduce explosion hazards that may arise.

-         The car engine is turned on with a healthy battery and let the round of idle for a while.

-         Connect the positive jumper cable from the battery is weak to a strong battery, then the negative jumper cable.

-         Wait a moment, about three minutes. If it considered charging battery, try to strike started the car.
If successful, disconnect the jumper cables in reverse order, negative cable first and positive

-         Also uncover cloth and put on battery cover actually.

One of the important prevention is the habit to put jumper cables on the frame of an unpainted car than to the negative pole of a weak battery. This allows sparks that may arise could be kept out of battery.

Habits battery check routine will greatly affect the age and performance using this device. When examined more attention to check to see electrolyte leakage, corrosion of the connectors, cracks on the cap / battery box and a rift in the battery components. Clean all battery poles.
