Many users unknowingly make mistakes that reduce OPzV battery lifespan. Here are some to avoid:
- Using the Wrong Charger: Not all chargers are compatible with OPzV batteries; using an incorrect one can cause damage.
- Overcharging: Charging at excessively high voltages or leaving the battery in the absorption stage too long can degrade the gel electrolyte.
- Undercharging: Regularly charging below the required voltage results in sulfation and capacity loss.
- Ignoring Temperature Effects: Charging at extreme temperatures without compensation leads to inefficiency and shorter battery life.
- Improper Connection: Loose or corroded terminals increase resistance and reduce charging efficiency.
Avoiding these mistakes will ensure longer service life and better battery performance.
