The positive grid plates in OPzS batteries naturally corrode over time, but certain conditions can accelerate this process.
Causes of Plate Corrosion
- Overcharging: High voltage increases oxidation, leading to faster corrosion.
- High Operating Temperatures: Heat speeds up the corrosion of lead-based materials.
- Poor Maintenance: Low electrolyte levels expose the plates to air, causing oxidation.
How to Reduce Plate Corrosion?
- Maintain Proper Charging Levels: Avoid overcharging to prevent excessive oxidation.
- Monitor Battery Temperature: Keep the battery in a controlled environment.
- Check Electrolyte Levels Regularly: Ensuring adequate electrolyte prevents direct plate exposure to air.
