There are situations when the car owner does not want or cannot afford to replace or repair the car battery. What if the electrolyte level dropped to an alarming level? It is vital to add electrolyte to the faulty compartment in such a situation. We'll have to arm ourselves with the knowledge of chemistry and simple devices.
Necessary
- - acid-resistant dishes with a capacity of 4-5 liters (heat-resistant glass flask, ceramics, lead or ebonite)
- - hydrometer with intake tube, thermometer
- - stick made of ebonite or glass
- - rubber bulbs with acid resistant tip
- - containers for 1 l and several with small divisions of 0, 1-0, 2 l
- - distilled water intended for batteries
- - battery sulfuric acid
Instructions
Step 1
Pour distilled water into the prepared acid-resistant container. Determine the quantity in advance using the table.
Step 2
Add sulfuric acid there. The quantity must also be carefully calculated. Be sure to do this in a thin stream while stirring continuously with an ebonite or glass stick.
Step 3
Cool the electrolyte to + 25 ° C and check the density of the substance obtained. Adjust the density figure as needed. This is done with distilled water or sulfuric acid.
