There is no such motorist who at least once would not have encountered the problem of a discharged battery. This nuisance is especially offensive at the moment when you are in a hurry somewhere. Not to mention the fact that, as a rule, after that the car enthusiast has to purchase a new battery.
To understand why a car battery is discharging, you need to know how it works. The outer casing hides cans filled with electrolyte, which separates the plates that have a negative and a positive charge.
When the batteries release energy, the plates begin to interact with each other. As a result, lead sulfate precipitates on the negatively charged plate. When the battery is being charged, everything happens in reverse order.
Naturally, this is only a schematic description of the processes taking place in batteries. In fact, there are many different types of batteries you can find on the market today.
The oldest batteries are considered to be serviced. Their body is made of ebonite coated with mastic. The design of the battery even allows for the replacement of cans if necessary.
The most popular today are partially serviced car batteries. The car enthusiast has to monitor the electrolyte level in them. For refilling, there are special caps on the top of the battery.
The most modern and at the same time the most expensive are maintenance-free batteries. They are very easy to use and are characterized by increased reliability, as they are mainly produced by famous brands. True, due to the high price, they are not very popular, although they have their own customers.
