Automotive Battery Protection Tips | Auto Information

Automotive Battery Protection Tips

Many car owners thought lead acid battery was some easy batteries and they always ignored their maintenance. In fact, in the daily usage process, the automotive battery is also one of the most auto components.

How long an automotive battery can last?

When the car is stopped, working time of automotive battery with 35Ah capacity in good condition is about 3 hours if you open the headlight, reading lamp and radio, while the battery with 45Ah can be working for a little longer time, between 3 and 4 hours. About the using time of car battery, you still consider the volume of radio or CD. The higher the volume of radio or CD, the power is stronger. Plus, the service lifespan of automotive battery is generally 2 to 3 years. So that whether the battery is new affect the time of supplying power as well. If the car owners individually install some electric equipments that the car originally doesn?t have, such as Subwoofer etc, and these equipments will cause the battery overuse.

Car owners, please pay attention to: if the automotive battery is old, working time had better not exceed 2 hours.

Often charge the automotive battery

How should car owners estimate if it is time to charge the automotive battery which may not let the battery in the state of deficit. Don?t judge the working status of the battery according to the luminance of the headlight or the strength of the voice. If the luminance of the headlight gets dark, the battery has been in the state of deficit and at this moment, the car must be ?paralyzed? and you don?t get it started. For ensuring the normal running of the car battery, the car owners had better start the engine to charge the battery every half an hour when in use.

Great methods to maintain the battery

In car maintenance, the protection of automotive battery is also important.

If you develop a bad using habit, it will shorten the service life of the battery or damage it. In general, the battery can be used for 2 to 3 years. But if you use it improperly, after 3 ? 4 months it might be replaced. If you want the battery supply power when the engine is stopped, you must avoid the battery power-lack, because the power-lack will easily damage this automotive battery. However, now there is a technology which can recondition the damaged auto battery. It adopts the pulse of charging technology to active the electrolyte of the battery, and the battery can still be used. But if the deficit is serious, the battery will be scrapped in advance.

If you want to know more about lead acid battery, you can just visit Leoch International, which is an excellent manufacturer of lead acid battery. The company is a public company which has over 10 year?s history and it is very reliable and dependable. If you are interested in the company, you can search for more information in the internet.

And if you currently have some suggestions or advices, I am really appreciate if you tell me.

Sculpture of Ai WeiWei "corpse" spooks German town (Reuters)

BERLIN (Reuters) ? A mock corpse of Chinese dissident artist Ai WeiWei in an art gallery has caused commotion in a small German town, leading some panicked residents, mistaking the statue for a real body, to alert the police.

The life-size sculpture of a dead-looking Ai -- which lies face-down on the floor in front of large glass windows -- has shocked passersby on the street.

"Several people had already called within days of the exhibition going up," said Peter Steger from the police office in Bad Ems, the town where the work can be seen.

The Chinese artist He Xiangyu said he intended to praise Ai WeiWei's efforts to criticize corruption and censorship in the Chinese government despite the threat of imprisonment.

Ai was detained without charge for 81 days earlier this year, a move by China that drew heavy criticism from Western governments.

Ai said on Tuesday that China's communist government had ordered him to pay 15 million yuan ($2.4 million) in taxes and fines allegedly due from the company he works for.

He Xiangyu used actual human hair hand-knotted onto plastic and fiberglass to create the statue's realistic qualities. The statue in Bad Ems is one of three copies.

ATCHISON, Kan. (AP) ? The final three bodies were recovered Monday from the burnt wreckage of a Kansas grain elevator where a weekend explosion killed six people and injured two others, a company official said.

The first three bodies were found during the weekend but unstable concrete, hanging steel beams and other damage had forced crews to temporarily suspend the search for the remaining victims at the Bartlett Grain Co. facility in Atchison, about 50 miles northwest of Kansas City.

The final three victims' bodies were recovered Monday morning, said Bob Knief, a Bartlett senior vice president.

Knief declined to discuss the identities of the three victims found Monday, but relatives identified two of them as Curtis Field, 21, and grain inspector Travis Keil. They have said the third person also was a grain inspector.

The grain inspectors worked for Kansas Grain Inspection Service, Inc., a private firm based in Topeka, said Tom Tunnell, executive director of the Kansas Grain and Feed Association.

Keil was a war veteran who had served as a site inspector for 16 years. His parents, Gary and Ramona Keil, drove from Salina to Atchison to wait with his three children ? ages 8, 12 and 15 ? as crews searched.

"It's a parent's worst nightmare to go through this," Gary Keil said.

Field's parents, Lynn and Patty Field of Atchison, had come to the grain elevator early Monday to wait for word about their son.

"I don't know what else to do," Patty Field said. Then, starting to cry, she added, "I just want him home ? I mean, out of there. I want him home, but I know he's not coming home."

One of the injured was in critical condition and the other was listed as serious on Monday, said Bob Hallinan, spokesman for The University of Kansas Hospital.

Farmers take their grain to grain elevators after harvest to store it before it is marketed or sold. The Bartlett grain bin is a large, concrete structure used for elevating, storing, discharging, and sometimes processing grain.

The explosion was a harrowing reminder of the dangers grain elevator workers face. When grain is handled at elevators, it creates dust that floats around inside the storage facility. The finer the grain dust particles, the greater its volatility. Typically, something ? perhaps sparks from equipment or a cigarette ? ignites the dust. That sends a pressure wave that detonates the rest of the floating dust in the facility.

The danger tends to be greater toward the end of the harvest season when the elevators are brimming with highly combustible grain dust. Saturday's blast fired an orange fireball into the night sky, shot off a chunk of the grain distribution building directly above the elevator and blew a large hole in the side of a concrete silo.

The three Bartlett workers whose bodies were recovered earlier were identified as Chad Roberts, 20; Ryan Federinko, 21; and John Burke, 24.

Roberts planned to get married Nov. 19 and take a honeymoon cruise to the Bahamas, said Alicia Cobleigh, his fianc?e. She said he liked to hunt and fish and took her fishing. They'd met in high school.

"He was fun, and he couldn't wait to be a husband and a dad," she said "We actually bought a house in April and remodeled it."

Family members and friends turned the sign outside the elevator into a memorial for the workers. A sweatshirt with Federinko's name written on it in marker also was marked, "Why!"

Bartlett Grain President Bill Fellows said in a statement that workers were loading a train with corn when the explosion occurred, but the cause of the explosion remained unclear. The company brought in a South Dakota-based engineer with expertise in such accidents to help federal safety investigators at the scene.

Over the past four decades, there have more than 600 explosions at grain elevators, killing more than 250 people and injuring more than 1,000, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Last year, there were non-fatal grain explosions or fires in several states including Nebraska, Illinois, Ohio, South Dakota and Louisiana.
