Cause of defect |
Elimination method |
The rechargeable battery is discharged |
The car a long time was not operated |
Charge the battery by means of the charger or on other car |
The generator is faulty |
See. "Diagnostics of malfunctions of the generator" |
The contact in a battery charge chain is broken: fastening of wires on the generator, plugs on the rechargeable battery weakened, the surfaces of plugs or conclusions were oxidized |
Smooth out the oxidized surfaces, tighten connections, grease conclusions of the rechargeable battery with VTV-1 lubricant |
At the switched-off ignition works hard consumers of the electric power (the radio tape recorder, additional electric devices, radio station, etc.) |
Reduce the number of the consumers working from the rechargeable battery. At the long parking take out the radio tape recorder (sometimes food of her memory requires considerable current — several tens milliampere) |
Damage of isolation of electric chains, leakage of current on the surface of the battery |
Check leak current (no more than 0,01 And at the switched-off consumers), clear the surface of the battery (carefully, acid!) |
Short circuit between plates (electrolyte "boiling", local heating of the battery) |
Replace the battery |
Iron salts, other impurity (the accelerated battery self-discharge) got to electrolyte |
Replace the battery |
Sulphation of plates because of high concentration of acid or natural aging of the battery (its capacity is small) |
Replace the battery |
Low level of electrolyte |
If there were no electrolyte slopping cases, add the distilled water |
Electrolyte on the surface of the battery |
The increased electrolyte level |
Select electrolyte from cans of the rechargeable battery a pipette with a rubber pear |
"Boiling" of electrolyte because of a battery recharge (the increased charge tension) |
See. "Diagnostics of malfunctions of the generator" |
"Boiling" of electrolyte because of strong sulphation of plates or their short circuit (tension of a charge is normal) |
Replace the battery |
Cracks on the battery case, are leaky wrapped covers |
Wrap covers, clean air vents, replace the battery with cracks on the case |
