How to Solve the Short Circuit in Battery

In the event of a short-circuit fault inside the battery, the following phenomena will occur:

(1) The specific gravity of the electrolyte is lower than that of the normal battery, and the open circuit voltage is also lower;

(2) When the circuit is discharged, the voltage of the short-circuit battery drops rapidly; If connected in series with other normal batteries, deep vulcanization will occur on the plates of short-circuit batteries. The positive plates will change from brown to tan, while the negative plates will change from light gray to gray.

(3) Inhalation slow or not when charging, and high electrolyte temperature;

At this point, different treatment methods should be used for the cause of the short circuit:

(1) In the case of a short circuit caused by excessive sediments at the bottom of the battery, the battery should be fully discharged and then poured out of the electrolyte, repeatedly cleaned with pure water and then recharged;

(2) In the case of a short circuit caused by bending of the plate, the insertion of an isolation plate at the point of contact of the plate may be considered;

(3) If it is due to the displacement of the lead spring and the short circuit caused by the plate and the lead lining, only the position of the spring can be corrected.
