What does distilled water do in an ups?

You have an UPS with a motorcycle battery in it, correct? You use the distilled water to top off the electrolyte in the cells.


If the electrolyte solution in a battery is too low you should add?

Distilled water ( to at least cover the top of the plates )


Why do you put water in a car battery?

Because the electrolyte in a battery is a mixture of 65% distilled water and 35% sulfuric acid. Anytime you top off a battery you must use distilled water.


What routine maintenance is carried out in lead acid batteries?

if its a maintenance free battery clean the terminals make sure its strapped down If not maintenance free, check the electrolyte level and top off with distilled water.

You should always use distilled water to top a battery off.


What is the dry battery?

A dry-charged battery is a conventional non-sealed wet-cell battery (this is almost always a rechargeable type). Normally, this battery type is wet-charged, meaning that the battery is filled with electrolyte at the factory, charged, and then shipped with the electrolyte in the battery. However, since the battery is not sealed, the electrolyte (either a strong acid or alkali) can spill out, which can be both a health and environmental hazard. The battery will also self-discharge at its normal rate during shipment and storage. Dry-charging is a way to minimize these problems. Like a wet-charged battery, a dry-charged battery is filled with electrolyte at the factory and charged. However, the electrolyte is then removed from the battery. The battery is then washed out, dried out, and sealed. The battery may also be filled with an inert gas to minimize reaction of any remaining electrolyte, as in the U.S. military BB-451/U silver-zinc battery, which used a very strong alkaline electrolyte (40% potassium hydroxide). The sealed battery is shipped and stored separately from the electrolyte. Because the electrolyte is in a sealed container, chances of spillage are reduced. The sealed battery will also self-discharge at a lower rate than usual, so it should still have useful charge up to 18 months after manufacture if stored below +90 degrees Fahrenheit (+32 degrees Celsius). When the battery is needed, the electrolyte is CAREFULLY added back to the battery (eye protection and gloves must be worn and other precautions taken). The battery must be allowed to sit for some time afterwards so the electrolyte can soak around and through the battery's internal structures. The electrolyte temperature will rise and its specific gravity (SG) will drop during the soak. The manufacturer may recommend that the SG be measured after the soak time, and the measured value will have to be corrected for any difference between the actual electrolyte temperature and the temperature at which the reference SG was measured. After the soak time, a (very rare) nonrechargeable dry-charged battery is ready for use, and some rechargeable dry-charged batteries may also be ready for use (like the BB-451/U). However, dry-charged lead-acid batteries will almost always need a low top-off or trickle charge. Rolls Batteries prescribes 5% of the 8-hour or 20-hour charge rate, to be reduced if the electrolyte becomes too warm or too much gas bubbles out of it. If the electrolyte in a rechargeable battery becomes too warm before charging, the battery will first have to be cooled down or allowed to cool naturally.


You have to pull the battery out?

well you basically take the back off and if you find that hard there should be and arrow showing how which way to push or pull it.Then you will see and battery its the biggest thing there in the back off you phone, where the battery is there should be a little space where your the top if your finger fits into so you should be able to pull it right now.BE EVERY CAREFULLY


How come when you shut your pantech ease keyboard it turns off?

The battery is loose. You can fold a piece of paper and lay it on top of the battery, put the case door on and it should steady the battery enough to stop the shutdowns. It worked for me.


How do you turn off hazzard lights when battery is dead?

Usually the hazzard button is located on the center/top of the steering column. Just press down the button and it should release. down=on/up=off, but if the battery is dead this won't matter until you install a new battery


When to add water to a car battery?

If you can see the plates in the battery add distilled water to top it off.


How do you remove the battery from a 2000 Harley sportster?

Remove the seat. There is a strap that goes across the top of the battery cover. Loosen this strap by removing the bolt and washer on the right side. Now you should be able to 'jiggle' the cover loose and remove it as well. It has 3 sides and should come off with a little work. Pull battery out towards you at the top and you should see where terminals - etc - connect.
