How not to kill the battery

As a result of negligent operation of the battery, it can quickly turn into a useless plastic box. What are the main causes of out of the battery, and what actions the driver can cause damage? Major violations - the fall of electrolyte levels. Low infestation battery (less than 75% of nominal) may be the result of a weak belt drive generator or a malfunction when the engine is running on the findings of the battery voltage is less than 13.6 V. It may happen that a faulty starter motor increases power consumption, "raping" battery. Oxidation of terminal power wires degrades engine starting and battery charging. Another way to "kill" the battery car - regular engine starting with the nth attempt, followed by brief visits, during which the battery does not have time to charge up to operating level. Normal stress on the battery cable is in the range 13,8-13,9 Q. When due to a malfunction of the voltage regulator on the battery with the generator voltage is more than 14.6 V, the electrolyte evaporates more rapidly than in normal mode. With the active operation of the vehicle in the "taxi", approximately 60 000 km a year, you need every 5000 kilometers to check the electrolyte level.
