METHODS OF PREVENTING OVER-DISCHARGE NFSC0003S01
The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-discharg- EC
ing a battery.
I The battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept
clean and dry. FE
I The terminal connections should be clean and tight.
I At every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.
This also applies to batteries designated as “low maintenance” CL
and “maintenance-free”.

Sulphation NFSC0003S0201
A battery will be completely discharged if it is left unattended
for a long time and the specific gravity will become less than
1.100. This may result in sulphation on the cell plates.
To determine if a battery has been “sulphated”, note its volt-
age and current when charging it. As shown in the figure, less
current and higher voltage are observed in the initial stage of
charging sulphated batteries.
A sulphated battery may sometimes be brought back into ser-
vice by means of a long, slow charge, 12 hours or more, fol-
lowed by a battery capacity test.
