Battery Maintenance of High Power Diesel Generator

Today we are talking about the battery of high-power giesel generator. Do users who often use high-power diesel generator to generate electricity have the habit of maintaining the battery? So how should I maintain it? When it comes to batteries, the first thing you think of is the batteries of electric vehicles. With the powerful technology, electric cars are also very popular. It should be noted that batteries and batteries are not the same thing. Devices that can store and discharge repeatedly can be called batteries, such as Lead–acid battery, lithium batteries, and so on.

Maintenance skills of high-power diesel generator battery:


Firstly, wipe. Firstly, we need to use a slightly damp cloth to scrub the exterior of the battery (long-term use can cause dust and oil stains to adhere), and clean the battery panel, pile head, and other debris that may cause leakage. Frequently scrubbing the battery in this way will prevent the pile head of the battery from accumulating white acid corrosion powder, and the battery life of the unit will generally be longer.


Secondly, open the cover. Open the water cap of the battery and check if the water level is at the normal position. Generally, there will be upper and lower limit markings on the side of the battery, which will remind us. If the water level is found to be below the lower mark during inspection, it indicates that we need to add distilled water in a timely manner. If distilled water cannot be obtained immediately, filtered tap water can be used for temporary emergency response. It should be noted that too much water should not be added here, and the scale should be added to the middle of the upper and lower markings.


Third, check whether the battery charging is normal. If you have a three way electricity meter, you can measure the voltage between the two poles of the battery after starting. It must exceed 13V to be considered normal. If the charging voltage is found to be too low, it is necessary to have a professional staff inspect the charging system. If you do not have a three way electricity meter, you can choose the visual inspection method. The specific method is to open the water cap of the battery after starting the engine, and pay attention to observing whether there are bubbles in each small cell. Under normal conditions, bubbles will constantly emerge from the water surface, and the more fuel is added, the more bubbles will emerge; If you find no bubbles, it is likely that there is a problem with the charging system. It should be noted that hydrogen gas will be generated during this maintenance, so it is strictly prohibited to smoke or see open flames during maintenance to avoid the risk of explosion and fire.

Diesel Generator Power Ratings: Standby vs Prime vs Continuous

Diesel generator sets are commonly used in a variety of sectors due to their dependable performance and high efficiency. They can be used for emergency power supply in the event of a power cut or used in places without connection to a power grid. When selecting a diesel generator for your home or business, you need to consider many factors, such as generator’s ratings. In this article, we’ll explain the three basic rating types - standby, prime, and continuous in diesel generators. ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operational categories: Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Power (PRP), Continuous Power (COP) and Limited-Time Running Prime (LTP). Read on and learn the application of power ratings for engines used in generating sets. Standby Power Rating Standby Power(ESP) is used to supply emergency power when the external power supply is interrupted, such as power outages. Standby power rated generators can supply reliable electricity as t...

How to Connect A Diesel Generator to Your House?

Diesel generators are fuel-efficient and reliable, which can almost meet the power needs of any application. If you want to power the whole house during power shortages, it’s a good choice to choose a diesel generator set as the backup electricity supply. But how to connect a diesel generator to your house? Read on and you will find the answer. Options to connect a diesel generator to your home   Keep in mind that never plug your generator directly into the mains, or it will cause back feeding, damage your appliances and be life-threatening for utility workers. Generally, you can choose to connect a generator to your house by using extension cords or a transfer switch. Understanding the difference between them is helpful for you to choose the right type. Extension cords   Typically, extension cords are suitable for smaller diesel generators that used for short term. They require no installation and are cost-effective. If you need to power only some basic appliances such as...

What Should You Pay Attention to in Routine Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets

In modern society, the stability of power supply is directly related to the operation efficiency of enterprises and people's quality of life. Diesel generators have become an indispensable backup power supply or main power source in various industries due to their high efficiency, durability and reliability. However, to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of the generator sets, regular maintenance is essential. Here is what you need to pay attention to in the routine maintenance of diesel generators. Keep your generator clean It’s important to keep the generator’s exterior and the generator room clean. Regularly remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate to on the generator’s surface. This is not only for the sake of beauty, but also for the smooth operation of the unit. Cleaning the generator’s exterior, air intake vents, exhaust outlets and generator room can effectively reduce the risk of generator overheating. In addition, check if the connection bol...
