| 摘要： | Tony Zeal, training manager at Swedish charger manufacturer CTEK, observes: "I think batteries are still the most ignored service item in any fleet." Zeal says that when he started in the motor trade, "the only time the battery got tested was when the customer complained about poor starting. If it wasn't for the white fluffy acid on the battery posts you'd assume the battery was in good condition. "But now it's the heartbeat of any modern vehicle - you're not going to push-start a vehicle if it's got a flat battery. In a fleet you can either make money or save money just by regular testing and charging of your batteries." The lead-acid battery is still the obvious choice for starting applications: lithium-ion batteries have some specialist uses where weight is critical, but offer no advantages for trucks. The traditional 'wet' battery, 'flooded' with electrolyte, has largely been supplanted by the EFB (enhanced flooded battery); this contains a fleecy material to hold the electrolyte closer to the lead plates, giving it better resistance to deep discharge. |
