How to properly fill a water bottle to ensure vehicle performance? What are the consequences of not adding water properly?

As an important part of the vehicle power system, the state of the water cylinder directly affects the performance and normal operation of the vehicle. Correctly filling water bottle is one of the keys to maintain its good working condition.

First of all, before adding water to the water bottle, it is necessary to ensure that the vehicle is in a state of shutdown, and wait for the battery to cool down for a period of time to avoid burns.

Next, prepare clean distilled water or a dedicated battery refill solution. Do not use tap water or mineral water, as the impurities contained in it can damage the battery.

Open the refill cap of the battery and, using a syringe or a special refill tool, slowly pour water into each cell of the battery. The amount of water added should be moderate, in general, the water level should be about 10-15 mm above the battery plate.

After adding water, let the battery sit for a while so that the water can fully penetrate and spread.

Improper addition of water can bring serious consequences

If too much water is added, it may cause the battery to overflow the electrolyte during charging and discharging, corrode the parts of the vehicle, and even cause short circuit, leading to safety risks.

Adding too little water can not effectively supplement the water lost during the use of the battery, which will cause the battery plate to be exposed to the air, accelerate the oxidation and vulcanization of the plate, thereby shortening the service life of the battery.

In addition, if the wrong liquid is used, such as tap water or mineral water, the minerals in it will be deposited inside the battery, affecting the electrical conductivity of the electrolyte, reducing the charging efficiency and discharge capacity of the battery.

The difference of adding water to water bottles in different types of vehicles

Small cars usually have a small capacity, and the maintenance requirements for hydropower bottles are relatively high, and the amount of water added and the quality of water need to be strictly controlled. The capacity of large truck water cylinder is large, the working intensity is high, and the water filling interval may be relatively short.

In short, the correct filling of water bottles is essential to ensure vehicle performance. Owners should regularly check the water level of the water bottle, and in accordance with the correct methods and norms to add water operation, in order to extend the service life of the water bottle, to ensure the normal operation of the vehicle.
