Electrolyte consists of the sulphuric acid and water and it is filled into the electrolyte cells. When the electrolyte contacts with the plates, it produces electrolysis and therefore the current will be produced and stored in the battery. ‘The voltage of a battery element is approximately 2V. The battery voltage according to number of elements is 6V or 12 V. The current, which is produced and stored in the battery, is sent to the receivers from the battery's pole ends. The battery used in the automotive engines; 1, Transmits the required current to starter motor for starting of the engine. 2. Transmits current to the receivers on the engine, when the engine is not starting, 3. Balances the voltage in the elec system while the engine is operating 4, Balances the current in the elec system when the alternator is operating. Inspection Checking the Battery In The Workshop Before starting these inspections, clean the battery from outside then visually check for crack, electrolyte leakage, and corrosion on the pole ends. If there isn't any problem then the other inspections must be carried out. ATTENTION: The cell plugs IN of the battery must be closed while cleaning. Do not use benzene, gas ete. for cleaning, and lubricate the battery pole end clamps lightly with the acid protector lubricant. The oxy-hydrogen is an explosive gases, therefore do not approach near the battery with a lighter, cigarette, or any flammable materials. 1. Check the battery's electrolyte level. The electrolyte level should be 10-15 mm over the plates. Add pure water if necessary. ‘Ventilation 2. Check the electrolyte density. For this procedure, open the cell plugs of battery and immerse the hydrometer into the electrolyte and read the measurement. Determine the conditions of the charging according to measured value.
