More battery life?

[demise]

Is it true na pag binuhusan mo ng Hot water every morning yung Battery, mas tatagal ang life nya?

[demise]

nakita ko kasi Uncle ko, yun ginagawa niya sa batt nya.. I asked him one time. Sabi ko, para saan yung Hot water? Sabi niya para Tumagal yung battery. Hot water na as in boiling water. Ibinubuhos nya sa battery terminals and to the batt itself. Pinapaliguan nya ng kumukulong tubig LOL

[Elroi]

okay lang siguro buhusan sa battery terminal pag may (what do u call that white stuff) build-up, pero ngayon ko lang narinig na paliguan ng boiling water buong battery.

ano explanation na tatagal battery pag pinaliguan hot water?

[HyBrideVo]

baka napanood niya sa tv ad ng motolite ba yun? na nilagay sa kumukulong tubig ang baterya at umandar pa din ang tsikot

I don't think your uncle pouring boiling water will have much effect on the battery's internal temperature because of the insulation and thermal mass ... assuming he pours a liter at most

Battery capacity (how many amp-hours it can hold) is reduced as temperature goes down, and increased as temperature goes up. This is why your car battery dies on a cold winter morning, even though it worked fine the previous afternoon. If your batteries spend part of the year shivering in the cold, the reduced capacity has to be taken into account when sizing the system batteries. The standard rating for batteries is at room temperature - 25 degrees C (about 77 F). At approximately -22 degrees F (-27 C), battery AH capacity drops to 50%. At freezing, capacity is reduced by 20%. Capacity is increased at higher temperatures - at 122 degrees F, battery capacity would be about 12% higher.

---

Even though battery capacity at high temperatures is higher, battery life is shortened. Battery capacity is reduced by 50% at -22 degrees F - but battery LIFE increases by about 60%. Battery life is reduced at higher temperatures - for every 15 degrees F over 77, battery life is cut in half. This holds true for ANY type of Lead-Acid battery, whether sealed, gelled, AGM, industrial or whatever. This is actually not as bad as it seems, as the battery will tend to average out the good and bad times.

One last note on temperatures - in some places that have extremely cold or hot conditions, batteries may be sold locally that are NOT standard electrolyte (acid) strengths. The electrolyte may be stronger (for cold) or weaker (for very hot) climates. In such cases, the specific gravity and the voltages may vary from what we show.

Ewan ko nga ba eh. kahit ako nagtataka. Kasi lagi nagyayabang sakin yun porket matanda na, madami na daw cya alam esp. sa mga auto. Kc may machine shop sila and etc.
pero maganda explanation ni straightsix

HEHEHe
Bossing, dba hindi naman kumukulong tubig yon? i think pinatigas cya sa yelo tapos gumana parin! Tuma-tagal!!!

"Humido" ang tawag ng matatanda dun. Yun talaga dapat alisin ng tubig.

Tama yung sinabi ni konde, mas magastos nga magpakulo ng tubig.

[Galactus]

Ngayon ko lang narinig yung "buhusan ng kumukulong tubig" ek-ek na yan...pero I doubt if it will do any good to the battery.

Para walang calcium deposits sa battery (sometimes pati yung metallic battery holders meron din), just apply grease of WD-40 to the terminals. Yung iba, lumang singko or diyes ang nilalagay, epektib din

[XTO]

buong battery na papaliguan ng kumukulong h20 - false.

terminals - pwede kung walang WD40 or any anti corrosive agent.

haha kaya pala may lumang diyes na nilalagay sa batery hehe ganto yung jeep namin dati nagtataka pa nga ako e pampahaba pala ng buhay

palagay ko wa-epek yan e, baka masira pa nga e

[hominid]

Baka mabasa mo lang ang mga hindi dapat mabasa(spark plugs, electronics...).

Kung gusto mo mainitan ang under the hood mo sa malamig na umaga, incandescent bulb.

[boybi]

Yung mga maintenance free na batteries hindi na nagkakaroon ng calcium deposits sa mga terminals. (t a e ang tawag dun ng isang battery shop dito).

hindi naman kasi kettle ang gamit, so yung pagbuhos, dahan dahan lang. maliit lang yung dulo nun

[IMm29]

Hmmm... ngayon ko lang narinig to ah. Hehe! I just know washing the white powder from the terminals off, but not hot water. I wonder how much longer, in your tito's experience, the battery will last by doing so.

[pup2]

Mahirap na ma-convince yan otherwise. Hamunin mo na lang ng patagalan ng baterya. Gamitin mo maintenance-free na battery.

He said something like, "mas tatagal yan, mga 1 year na add sa life. more or less".

[Memphis Raines]

I don't believe that it can do anything except wash off the dust over the battery.

I believe it was our old driver who also told me to do this before...way back in the 80's pa.

[chr1smj_15]

i don't think so. maybe by cleaning the terminal can help.
