What are the reasons why the battery of Wuling Zhiguang cannot be charged?
1 Answers
Wuling Zhiguang's battery cannot be charged due to reasons such as dried-up electrolyte in the battery, broken plates, or short-circuited plates. The most common and primary reason is plate sulfation, which obstructs the normal flow of electrons, leading to reduced battery capacity, inability to function properly, and gradual aging. If a battery is left unused for a long time or is chronically undercharged, plate sulfation can occur. For batteries that have been in use for more than 3 years, it is recommended to replace them with a new one. For batteries with shorter usage periods that have experienced mild sulfation due to short-term excessive discharge, a low-current, long-duration charging method can be used for recovery. However, the battery capacity can only be restored to about 80% of its rated capacity. There are several main reasons for the early failure of vehicle batteries: Deep discharge: When the vehicle is parked but the lighting or other electronic devices remain on, the battery continues to discharge. Prolonged discharge significantly reduces the battery's lifespan. Overcharging or engine overheating causing electrolyte evaporation: Since the electrolyte is composed of specialized sulfuric acid and distilled water in a specific ratio, engine overheating will accelerate the evaporation of distilled water, disrupting the balance between sulfuric acid and distilled water in the electrolyte and shortening the battery's lifespan. Loose alternator belt leading to insufficient charging: The vehicle's alternator supplies power to the electronic devices and charges the battery while the vehicle is in use (except during idle). If the alternator belt is too loose, it will result in insufficient charging of the battery, affecting its normal operation.
