To maximize the lifespan of Fe-Ni batteries, follow these best practices:
- Regular Electrolyte Checks: Top up with distilled water and replace the electrolyte every few years.
- Avoid Shallow Cycling: Occasionally perform full discharge cycles to prevent voltage depression.
- Keep Terminals Clean: Prevent corrosion by cleaning terminals with a baking soda solution.
- Store Properly: If unused, discharge partially and store in a cool, dry place.
Proper care can ensure these batteries last decades!
