Can a starter battery with higher or lower capacity than the one specified in a catalogue for a concrete make of a car be used?
Such starter batteries can be used but this shortens their lifespan. When a starter battery with higher capacity is used, it has bigger overall dimensions, it charges incompletely and often it needs additional charging. If a starter battery is with lower capacity, then it is exposed to a faster decreasing of the electrolyte level, increasing the electrolyte’s concentration and intense corrosion of the plates and the separator. • 4. How can we realize that a starter battery needs to be charged with a charging device? If the car hasn’t been used for a month, it is necessary to charge the starter battery. Similarly, if the density of the electrolyte is under 1, 26 g/ml, a charging is necessary. • 5. How many kilometers does a car have to go after the consecutive start so that the starter battery can be fully charged? If the starter battery is charged, after starting it is enough to go 3-5 km till it is fully charged. • 6. What should we do at low temperatures? At low temperatures the amou
