Where to Recycle Old Car Batteries?
1 Answers
Old car batteries can be exchanged at battery shops or sold directly to recycling stores. Here are some precautions for using car batteries: 1. Ensure the battery is securely fastened: The battery should be firmly installed in the vehicle to prevent the battery cables from coming loose due to vibration during driving, which could lead to power interruption. 2. Keep the battery surface clean: Car owners should regularly clean dust and dirt from the battery cover to avoid clogging the vent holes on the filler caps or plugs. If solid oxides are found on the terminals, they should be promptly rinsed off with hot water to prevent affecting the conductivity between the terminals and the connecting posts. 3. Regularly check the electrolyte level: During the charging and discharging process, the water in the electrolyte will gradually decrease due to electrolysis and evaporation, causing the electrolyte level to drop. If not replenished in time, it will shorten the battery's lifespan. Car owners should promptly add distilled water if they notice the level is too low.
