It is required for the ‘Forming Process’ where the initial raw new lead plates in the new batteries are chemically changed by that initial process.

What does the initial charging do exactly, especially the fact that the electrolyte is poured out and the new fresh electrolyte needs no charging?
@wa72152 жыл бұрын
It’s called the “Forming process” and is an essential part of the process for the new lead used in the making of the cells in the batteries

@@wa7215 Thanks for your comment. I am curious, did you happen to change the term I used, i.e. "initial charging" and called it "Forming process"? If I had instead used your term, someone may have said, it is "initial charging" and is essential part of... etc etc. It could have happened. If you don't mind, I will cut through the chase as some might call it. There is no charging going on after the initial forming charging or whatever as I had stated. They pour out the solution and pour in fresh stronger solution and then leave it at that. In other words, it no longer needs charging. It is a charged battery by merely pouring the new solution. Question 1. Why it does not need charging Question 2. This is the big gurella in the room question: You hook up the battery to what is called a charger to charge the battery. Got that covered and stated. But what I want to know is "WHAT IS CHARGING?" And just to stop the next move, I want to stop it. Charging is sending current to the battery. Just to clear this, whatever current is, as they go in through one post, that many leave the other post. Now if you can go from there. It is the only answer that counts.

Because it's always impressive to watch a master craftsman. It's not clear on the lead levels humans can tolerate . Some animals such as insects don't appear bothered by high lead levels . I still don't believe we used to accept lead additives in our fuel . So we cultivated a nonchalant attitude about it which now has swung to opposite .

@@gerryrice4848 Providing that they are properly maintained, by always being sure to connect them to a “Smart Charger/Maintainer” that is properly sized, to suit, the stated AHr rating of the battery, whenever, the vehicle they are fitted into, is not being used regularly ie, driven on a daily basis, then you can confidently expect to get at least 4 years of useful service life out of these top quality Australian made Century Brand Batteries. I can vouch for this as a fact, because I have been using them in all of my vehicles for over 20 years now, and they have never let me down, and when they do finally, ultimately need replacing, I have never, had one of them fail unexpectedly, and completely, overnight, and thus leaving me stranded. They have always given me enough ‘prior warning’ by starting to become slower at cranking the engine for at least a week, before they finally fail, which has always been enough ‘warning’ time, to allow me to get to the local Auto parts store and buy, another, reliable, Century Battery, as a replacement. Prior to me discovering just how good and reliable these Century batteries are, I had tried using other battery brands, and I can honestly say, that none of them, were as good, or as reliable, as Century batteries. Top quality Aussie manufacturing, and I can highly recommend them. 👍👍

I could understand if it was an actual maintenance free type. Gel or agm. But it seems like a piss poor design to prevent maintenance on a battery that specifically requires maintenance.
