How to Repair a Leaking Battery Case?
2 Answers
The method for repairing a leaking battery case is as follows: The material of the battery case is polypropylene, so it can only be repaired using a plastic welding gun with polypropylene plastic welding rods. Turn on the electronic temperature-controlled plastic welding gun, direct it towards the convex surface of the welding rod, and when you see both the welding rod and the case melting, push the welding rod by hand to move it slowly until the repair is complete. Information about the battery is as follows: 1. A car battery (Car-battery), also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. 2. Batteries are categorized into conventional batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries. The commonly referred-to battery is a lead-acid battery, and the normal service life of a car battery ranges from 1 to 8 years, which largely depends on the condition of the vehicle.
I encountered this situation a few days ago. As someone who usually enjoys tinkering with my car, a leaking battery case is no small matter. Battery case leaks are usually caused by aging cracks or collision damage, with the electrolyte inside leaking out, which not only corrodes the car body but may also cause short circuits and fires. I recommend first putting on gloves and turning off the engine to prevent accidental starts, then checking the size of the leak. If the crack is small, temporarily sealing it with epoxy resin glue might work, but it's only a temporary fix. If the crack is large, don’t attempt any makeshift repairs—the electrolyte is highly corrosive and could harm you. It’s best to replace the battery promptly, as safety comes first. That’s how I handled it last time, avoiding worries about breaking down on the road.
