Surely, not every car owner knows that even a new battery requires recharging. So, why charge just the acquired device and how to do it right?
1
In fact, everything is very simple - the battery could lie in the supplier's warehouse for a long time or in the store and partially losing the container. That is why it is recommended to recharge it, because the discharged battery will not allow to start the engine and move from place either a centimeter. Before buying a battery, be sure to check with the seller information about the date of manufacture of the planned acquisition. You can see the date of manufacture yourself, but it is better to navigate the numbers from the packaging, but on the information on the battery case. Accordingly, the longer the battery is on sale, the lower the level of electrolyte density.

To recharge new batteries, standard chargers are used (they are often called "rectifiers") and electrolyte. By the way, buy an electrolyte only in a tested automata that can provide a quality certificate. Before starting the process of charging a new dried battery, fill it with an electrolyte and leave for impregnation for 4-5 hours. Next, remove the traffic jams from all cans. Connect the charger terminals to the battery and only after that connect it to the network. Place on the "Charger" current. An important nuance: to charge a new battery only with a small current (the current regulator must be set to the MIN mark).

Charging a new battery should last no longer than two or three hours. If the device has a charge indicator, charge it to that time until the required light lights up. If during charging the arrow of the ammeter bends to zero, then you did everything right. Upon completion of the charging process, be sure to check the density of the electrolyte using a simple inexpensive device - the areaometer. Only now the battery can be installed in the car.

When working with batteries, remember the elementary safety technique. Do not forget that the banks contain acid, so be sure to use special gloves and safety glasses. When charging, the battery allocates such toxic substances such as sulfur gas, arc, stubbin and others. Charge the battery only in a ventilated room, best in the garage, but not at home. The poisonous substances are sedied on furniture, things, so for a long time they will negatively influence the tenants of the apartment. Remember that during the charge of the car battery there is a large amount of hydrogen, which in compound with oxygen from the air becomes explosive. The slightest spark can lead to an explosion.
The battery is the beginning of the movement of your "iron horse", so if you don't want to make a car with a "Tolkach" in one beautiful morning, take care of the correct recharging of the new Akb and its preparation for operation.
