How long to charge after the lead-acid battery turns green?
1 Answers
After the charger indicator turns green, stop charging within 2 hours to avoid overcharging, which may cause the battery to swell or be damaged. Charge frequently: Regular charging helps maintain the battery in a saturated state, extending its lifespan. Avoid waiting until the battery is depleted before charging, as this can reduce its service life by one-third. Also, prevent overcharging, as prolonged use of the charger may lead to component aging and leakage. Prevent battery overcharging: Overcharging generates excessive gas that erodes the plates, accelerating the shedding of active material and shortening battery life. It also accelerates water loss, leading to electrolyte drying, increased battery temperature, thermal runaway, plate expansion, and casing deformation.
