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

[demise]

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








"KUMBINSING!"

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

[meledson]

nasa tropical country tayo. hindi naman frozen ang batteries natin dito pag malamig. Sa ginagawa niyang iyon, baka mas masama pa nga ito kaysa sa mas makabuti para sa battery.

Assuming na walang "corrosion" ang battery terminals nya.

i think naiisip nya yung cold-start sa umaga.. for some reason "daw", pag binuhasan nya ng hot water before starting sa umaga(as in early morning), e mas mabilis mag start compared sa hindi nabuhusan

[konde]

sige, assuming na tatagal ang life ng battery, lalaki naman gastos nya sa lpg sa pagpapakulo ng tubig.

[jaspi11]

OO NGA NO...lalaki gastos sa LPG. palagay ko experiment nya lang yun at napatunayan nya oks yung ginagawa nya

[demise]

e kung set aside natin ung pagpakulo ng tubig.. lets say, libre lng un. kasi sa likod ng garahe namin may pugon etc. So ang ibig sabhin nun Ok pa din? ehehehe

kung babasahin natin maigi iyong reference na binigay ni Straightsix hindi po nakakapagbigay ng additional battery life ang boiling water. Ang boiling water nasa 100C sabi sa pinost nya:

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 .

77F is 25C. Average temparature in Manila is 33C. Iyong ginagawa ng uncle mo mas nakakapinsala pa sa battery life.

[suysuy]

this is just another beliefs by the oldies hehehe

[recklus]

i've seen that nung bata ako sa probinsya, ayaw magstart nung kotse kasi battery was dead kaya try nila buhusan ng mainit na tubig....... they still ended up pushing the car para i-jumpstart.

[Elroi]

i suggest i-secure mong mabuti yung battery sa lalagyan nya para di kumakalog. palagay ko mas tatagal ang life nun. meron kasi ako nakikita battery nakatali lang ng goma..

hmmm... nice point din po sir

yup, marami din akong nakikitang nakatali ng goma. but not my "mayabang" uncle hehehe. Napa-pa-isip lng ako kc, for some reason, mabilis nga mag cold-start pag nabuhusan nya ng hot water.

imho.

the life of the battery depends on the condition of your alternator and the accessories that you put in your car.

what you can do, specially these days where maintenance free batteries are really popular is just to clean the terminals from the corrosion.

[red07]

okay lang siguro buhusan sa battery terminal pag may (what do u call that white stuff) build-up,

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

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