In today’s fast-paced world, reliable power sources are essential for various applications, from home essentials to industrial machinery. Among the numerous battery technologies available, tubular batteries stand out as a reliable and versatile option. In this blog, we’ll delve into the intricacies of tubular batteries, exploring their technology, advantages, applications, and why they’re a superior choice for many power needs.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting Instruction

Maintenance

Batteries may lose some initial charge during shipment and storage, and depending on the storage time, they may require a freshening charge.

Battery Cleaning

Observe the battery for cleanliness at regular intervals. Keep cell terminals and connectors free of corrosion. Terminal corrosion could adversely affect the performance of the battery, and it could present a safety hazard.

Standard Cleaning

To perform a standard cleaning of the battery, follow the procedures below:

1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Wipe off any accumulation of dust on the battery covers with cloth dampened in clean water.

To clean mild corrosion from the battery:

1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Remove corrosion by wiping with a cloth dampened with bicarbonate of soda solution follow with a cloth dampened with clear water.
3. Dry with a clean cloth.
4. Apply Petroleum Jelly on Fasteners.

Do not use any type of oil, solvent, detergent, petroleum-based solvent, or ammonia solution to clean the jars or covers. These materials will have an adverse effect and cause permanent damage to the battery jar and cover and will void the warranty.

Do’s and Don’ts

Do’s

• Store the batteries in a cold and dry location, when not in use.
• Keep the batteries away from the heat source, sparks, fire, direct sunlight, rain etc.,
• Keep the batteries clean and dry.
• Refresh (Charge)the battery once every 3months, if stored for longer periods.
• Check the tightness of the electrical connections for every month.
• Monitor charge voltage / current at monthly intervals and adjust it, if required.
• After discharge recharge the batteries immediately.
• Note down and record the battery voltage readings once every month.
• Use insulated tools only during installation to avoid the short circuit of a battery.
• Note: Apply correct torque 8–10Nmfor tightening the bolts.
• TopUp with DM Water Only

Don’ts

• Do not expose the packed batteries to rain and sunlight.
• Do not add water or acid.
• Do not make tap connections.
• Do not mix batteries of different types & makes.
• Do not charge the batteries in sealed cubicles.
• Do not short-circuit the battery.
• Do not exceed the storage period without giving the freshening charge.
• Do not discharge the batteries below 10.50V. Note: Do not over tighten the bolts.

By following these maintenance tips and best practices, you can ensure that your tubular batteries continue to deliver optimal performance and extend their lifespan. Regular attention and care will not only save you money in the long run but also provide you with a reliable and consistent power source for your various applications, from emergency backup power to uninterrupted solar energy storage.
