On today's roads there is a hugevariety of trucks. Their destination is also diverse: from the transportation of letters to the delivery of multi-ton cargoes. MAN, KamAZ, "Gazelle" and many other trucks and trucks are your helpers, a means of earning.
Needless to say that in any weather, inany weather conditions your car should be in working order? Replacing the oil, replacing rubber, filters, antifreeze or antifreeze in time does not give you a full guarantee that the truck will start. Especially in the cold. The battery is what is needed for the car to function properly.
This is his heart, his battery.Many drivers, when buying a battery for their car, do not think that it just does not fit. That it will not be able to "pull" the generator, that it from time to time is worth serving.
To begin with, the truck is much largercar, fuel and energy, he also uses a lot more. Hence, the battery should also be special, namely a battery for a truck that meets all the requirements.
Battery capacity is the most important factor whenchoosing the battery. The nominal capacity indicates the number of ampere hours (Ah). If you do not know how many ampere hours you need a battery for a truck, then you should look in the car's instruction manual. There should be specified GOST (for domestic cars) or DIN (for American or other foreign trucks).
At KamAZ or MAN, mostly batteries are putfor trucks for 190 ampere hours or for 140 ampere hours. Typically, in trucks, put two batteries of the same capacity. Coming to a specialized store, even drivers with a long history begin to get lost, not knowing how the numbers and letters on the battery are deciphered. What is polarity?
Also when you buy a battery for yourThe truck should pay attention to the polarity - the location of the terminals. This is not at all difficult: by turning the device toward yourself with the narrow side on which the terminals are located, see if you see +/- - this is the reverse polarity, and if - / +, then the polarity is straight. On batteries for cars and light trucks (with a nominal capacity of up to 110 Ah) look the other way. Also there are differences in battery height: batteries for American trucks are two centimeters lower than for domestic brothers.
Какой же выбрать аккумулятор для грузовика (190 ampere)? It should be borne in mind that his "age" (by the date of manufacture) should not exceed one year. If the battery lasts for a long time without recharging, its plates begin to break down, sulfatation begins. The manufacturing date is spelled out from the outside or from the back, for example: 1516 - which means "fifteenth week of the sixteenth year." Or, on foreign-made batteries, the release date looks like this: *** 1501 * - the first three digits are the lot number, the fourth and fifth digits are the year of manufacture, the sixth and seventh are the month of the year and the last digit is the shift number.
Batteries used to release dry-charged, thenthere was no electrolyte in them; now such devices are supplied only for tractors that have three cans of 2 volts each (a total of six volts). In such a battery, you need to fill the electrolyte with a density of 1.27 and put for a few hours so that the plates are soaked. Then add electrolyte to the required level and connect it to the charger. With car batteries at 12 volts, such manipulations are not necessary. They come from the factory completely filled, charged and ready to go.
Calcium is more popular.batteries (with a minimum lead content), they are less disposed to hydrolysis, that is, to dehydration. During operation, water boils away, which leads to an increased electrolyte density and plate drying, and this, in turn, leads to the shedding of active substances - internal destruction of the plates. Calcium does not boil water quickly. But such batteries are difficult to recover after a deep discharge, which can happen when driving for short distances, sub-zero temperatures, and simply oversight. The density of the electrolyte must be checked at least once every six months.
Lead-calcium (hybrid) batteries are adapted for recovery after discharge more, but they are also subject to more hydrolysis.
Of course, you can leave the truck in the guarded parking lot and give about 500 rubles a day. But if you count how much money will be released even in a year, then the amount will be huge.
You can buy batteries of St. Petersburg trucksalmost at every turn. You can also buy a battery without leaving home. On the websites of stores and online stores there is a huge selection of batteries of Russian and imported, manufactured in the CIS countries. Buying through the online store, you can save money, choose a battery without haste. Here you will also be advised by experts, they will recommend something new or order the absent usual product. Here is the delivery to the house, garage or base. The battery will be brought checked for charge and density, with a warranty card issued, if you are not satisfied with something, you can simply refuse it or you will be brought another.
Warranty period for cargo batteries inthe average is one year. The term is established by the manufacturer, not the store. Warranty card should be carefully read before you sign it. Check the seals, the signature of the seller or responsible person. If something happened to the battery, for example, it stopped starting the car, or froze, or just stopped arranging you for some reason, then you also need to carefully read the warranty conditions in order not to get into an awkward situation. Check the car with a multimeter for leakage current. It is also necessary to stably check the density of the electrolyte in the battery with a hydrometer. If you do not understand this, then contact the shops that sell batteries. For a small amount of experts will check everything yourself. And many stores provide free battery maintenance for the duration of the warranty.
Such a seemingly ordinary thing - the batterybut requires a lot of attention. The main thing is to follow the rules of operation, to choose the right one for your car. And your battery will last a long time, without causing any hassle.
