7.3.2. Accumulator check

THE GENERAL DATA

The degree indicator заряженности and level of electrolit of unattended accumulator DELCO

Decoding of the symbols put on a label of the accumulator

1 – at accumulator service it is necessary to observe rules on To the safety precautions, stated in the operation manual, 2 – in the accumulator is available Corroding acid also it is necessary to be careful, that Acid has not spilt from the accumulator, 3 – do not use open fire About the accumulator,

4 – at work with the accumulator use goggles, 5 – hold the accumulator in a place inaccessible to children, 6 – at recycling the accumulator hand over only in points intended for it, 7 – do not throw out the accumulator together with household dust, 8 – the gases allocated at gymnastics of the accumulator, are explosive

In the accumulator it is necessary to make check of density of electrolit each 3 months to define loading ability of the accumulator.

Check is made плотномером. At definition of density of electrolit it is necessary to consider accumulator temperature. At electrolit temperature more low 15 ° With on everyone 10 ° From less this temperature from the measured density subtract value 0,007. For everyone 10 ° With from above 15 ° With add 0,007.

The electrolit density in the accumulator should be in following limits:

Temperature	Above 25 ° With	More low 25 ° With
Full gymnastics	1,210 – 1,230	1,270 – 1,290
Gymnastics on 70 %	1,170 – 1,190	1,230 – 1,250
The discharged	1,050 – 1,070	1,110 – 1,130

Electrolit density measure in everyone bank. The difference in density 0,04 or more between two any banks specifies in loss of electrolit or сульфатацию plates.

If the electrolit density between two any banks differs more than on 0,04, the accumulator is subject to replacement. If below demanded, but identical in all banks, the accumulator it is necessary to charge density of electrolit.

In case of use of the unattended accumulator the accumulator condition can be checked up only the voltmeter. In accumulators with the built in indicator of degree заряженности the accumulator condition is defined on colour of the indicator. Green colour of the indicator corresponds to full gymnastics of the accumulator. Black colour of the indicator specifies in necessity of gymnastics of the accumulator. Light or bright yellow colour of the indicator testifies to low level of electrolit in the accumulator (fig. the degree Indicator заряженности and level of electrolit of unattended accumulator DELCO see).

On the accumulator there is a label with warning symbols (fig. Decoding of the symbols put on a label of the accumulator) see.
