What Causes a Battery to Overheat?
1 Answers
The reasons for a battery overheating include issues with the battery itself and generator malfunctions. Below are detailed explanations: Battery Issues: The battery has a service life, typically around 2-3 years. Prolonged use leads to increased internal resistance, drying out of the electrolyte, gas evolution, and water loss, which can cause overheating during use. In such cases, consider adding electrolyte or directly replacing the battery. Generator Malfunction: During use, the battery undergoes repeated charging and discharging cycles. The current generated by the generator is rectified to charge the battery. If the current is too high, it can also cause the battery to overheat. Solution: Use a multimeter to check the generator's current output, adjust the belt tension, and replace the rectifier.
