How to use Sightseeing Bus batteries

Many people inevitably make some mistakes in using batteries when using Electric Sightseeing Car. Let me talk about the mistakes that may occur when using batteries in Electric Sightseeing Car.

1. Mixed battery connection

Some operators connect a fully charged battery to the original battery when starting the engine because the original battery is insufficient. In fact, the fully charged battery will charge the insufficient Sightseeing Bus battery with a large charging current, which can easily cause the plate active material to peel off and affect its service life.

In addition, the battery cannot provide a large starting current to the starter after being connected in parallel, which seriously affects the start of the engine. The correct way should be to remove the insufficient battery, install a fully charged battery, and then start the engine.

2. Mixing batteries in series

If new and old batteries are mixed in series, the charging current and voltage of the old battery will be higher than the charging current and voltage of the new battery during battery charging, resulting in the new battery not being fully charged while the old battery is already overcharged; during discharge, the new battery has a larger charge storage capacity than the old battery, resulting in over-discharge of the old battery and even reverse polarity of the old battery. Therefore, new and old batteries must not be mixed.

3. Batteries and engines are not matched

If the charge storage capacity of the battery is not matched with the engine, and the battery charge storage capacity is too small, then when the starting resistance is large, the battery with a small charge storage capacity will inevitably accelerate the reaction of active substances with sulfuric acid per unit time under the condition of violent discharge, causing the battery temperature to increase, and the plate to deform due to overload, resulting in a large amount of peeling of active substances and early damage to the plate, thereby greatly shortening the battery life.

If the battery charge storage capacity is too high, although the above problems are not likely to occur, its active materials cannot be fully utilized, which reduces the economic benefits of the battery for Electric Sightseeing Car. Therefore, the battery charge storage capacity must match the engine. In general, the selection of battery charge storage capacity should be based on the rated power, current and voltage of the starter and the load of the electrical equipment.
