Should a Newly Purchased Battery Be Charged?
1 Answers
If the new battery was produced within the last half month and has not been used, it can be directly used without charging. If the new battery was produced a long time ago or has been used, it is advisable to charge it before use. For dry-charged lead-acid batteries, according to the user manual, if stored for no more than two years, you only need to add the specified density of electrolyte and let it sit for 15 minutes before use—no charging is required. Here are some battery-related tips: 1. Develop good in-car electricity habits. Avoid listening to the radio at high volume, charging your phone, or using air pumps when the engine is off. 2. Regularly drive on highways for long distances. This has many benefits, including removing carbon deposits from the vehicle and ensuring the battery is fully charged.
