If its lead acid battery, no. Not safe. These batteries are made to work in the correct position so the plate inside are always wet with acid. Most sealed lead acid batteries have a tiny venting hole to release gas that might be produced
I can buy a nice leather cover to put over the seats, but the battery acid will continue to eat away at any material on top of it. other basic non-corosive solution to neutralize the acid or else whoever comes into contact with it will
put it on a low amp charger for a couple days. ive had batteries at 3 volts go right to 15 volts at a half amp, indicating a bad battery, take over 24 hours to start pulling current and restore itself. definately doesnt always work though
Storing or servicing a lead acid battery inside a car can be dangerous. These batteries release toxic gases, like hydrogen sulfide, and can explode. Proper ventilation is
Know how to extend the life of a lead acid battery and what the limits are and deionized water. If you believe that this mixture is good for your battery, go ahead buy it and put it into your batteries. actually i do it. but
I put a $130 H8 battery from Walmart into mine. It''s an all-glass mat battery (I think) and it seems to be working well. It''s been about -12 F this week and there are no problems. Tonight should be around -25 F and I expect no problems in the morning either (other than it''ll be -25 F). I used VCDS to update the car regarding the new battery.
Why it is bad to put an old and new battery together is the same as why it is bad to put two batteries of different capacity together (because that''s what you''ve got): the charge will be wrong for one, the other, or most likely both. Too little for the higher battery, too much for the lower one.
yep, somethingsomething1212 is usually the case. You want a 12v 1.2ah sealed lead acid battery, if you have a store like Battery World or Batteries Plus in your area they will definitely carry it. ie: 12V 1.2AH Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) Battery -
hot rodder''s generally have there battery''s inside the cabs with out any problems . it can definitely be done the right and the wrong way . the reason why i say to use a sealed battery is because when non-sealed battery''s are charging they give off hydrogen gas, and you could possibly spill acid ruining your shoes .
When deciding between AGM and lead-acid batteries for your vehicle, consider these key points. AGM batteries have higher CCA and need no maintenance while lead-acid requires regular
Battery acid is a corrosive substance, and if it''s not kept in good condition, it can damage your car''s battery. Be sure to check the level of acid in your battery on a regular basis, and top it up if necessary. If you do not have the necessary
After discovering a battery acid spill on your car seat, your first step is to conduct a thorough inspection to understand the full extent of the damage. Look closely at the seat fabric and cushion for any holes, discolored
Or the entire cushion assembly if internal foam has been damaged as well. This is a horrendous amount of damage but not unexpected considering its spillage from a
If you must add sulfuric acid to a battery, always pour the acid into the water surrounding the Battery rather than directly onto the Battery itself. Tubular Battery Acid Filling A tubular battery is a lead-acid battery that uses
It''s possible that the 14.4V charge is continued until the battery is only absorbing a low number of amps, before it drops down to 13.0V. The problem is that, while 13.0V will make all the systems run off the DC-DC
What is the lifespan of a lead-acid battery? The lifespan of a lead-acid battery can vary depending on the quality of the battery and its usage. Generally, a well-maintained lead-acid battery can last between 3 to 5 years. However, factors such as temperature, depth of discharge, and charging habits can all affect the lifespan of the battery.
Hi everyone. Pardon my ignorance but I have been doing alot of research and I have a few questions. I have two large 990CCA lead acid batteries for my school bus and they stopped turning the engine over. I would just go buy new ones if i had the money but im looking for a way to bring these two back to operating condition. (The cells are openable).
That is really unfortunate. However; if the battery acid has done this much damage to the seat, and will continue to in the case of a leather cover, I would worry about passengers sitting there! I think your best option is to look for a
I see the other comments on weight distribution, but I''m skeptical. A group 34 EFB battery weighs 40-lbs. I can''t see a carmaker redesigning a back seat battery compartment along with the extra costs for longer battery cables just to redistribute 40
you can absolutely have different batteries in the same bank as long as they are in parallel, the problems arise when they are in series at fast charge rates. just get a feel for how your batteries perform in every aspect so you can tell when a battery goes bad on its own, as it would anyway. a gel battery is a type of lead acid btw. they work the same, but perform better long term at
The best places to put a battery on a cafe racer include putting it in a battery box under the seat, placing it on the rear swing arm on it''s side, placing it under the rear swing arm in a battery
What are the key differences between lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries? The primary differences between lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries include: Energy Density: Lithium-ion batteries have a higher energy density,
However, make absolutely sure your really soak the seat (take it out and put it on the driveway) with water and baking soda, or you could sustain burns when you sit down and compress the material. If it was just the seat cushion, I would personally go to a wrecking yard
i would suggest using a sealed battery, preferably a optima then you can mount it sideways so it will sit under the seat better . just protect the positive terminal so
My wife''s RAV4 is parked in the garage, so a freezing battery is a very low probability. But I do see the AGM options for the RAV4 are something like 700+ CCA, while even the best lead-acid is 640 CCA. But the best lead-acid is
Well at some point it tipped over and wedged itself between the back seat and the driver seat, and fluid has been sleeping from the contacts since about Friday. I noticed it because I had to use the car today, and where the skin on my back contacted the seat fabric I started getting itching and then burning sensations.
The major fear of putting a lead-acid battery on its side is it spilling sulfuric acid onto wherever it might end up. It won''t hurt the battery itself, other than if it loses acid. If you
You''ll want to remove the seat and make sure the acid didn''t drip down to the floor of the car and eat that as well. Battery acid is sulfuric acid. It''s eating anything it got onto
At that point, all excess acid has been fully neutralized. #3 Clean Battery Acid On Car Seat. Now you can deep clean the car seat and surrounding areas affected by the spill. Start by fully removing the seat from
I''m thinking I''d like to install a permanent connection to the terminals on the vehicle battery that will provide access from outside the seat pedestal for the purposes of a) connecting a NOCO Genius 5 amp
That back seat cushion had better be REALLY strong. Imagine kids or teens bouncing on the seat and damaging something in that cage. Someone help me understand why
Do lead-acid batteries not emit fumes or do they pose a potential health hazard, especially for the ones nearest to the batteries at night? Would it therefore be better to have
(1) There are several distinct varieties of lead-acid: the ''starter battery'' that''s intended to very rarely be discharged very far, the ''motive battery'' intended for gradual & deeper discharge, the ''standby battery'' for UPS style
So read on as we take a closer look at the lead-acid battery, how it works, and some things to avoid to keep them running. What Is a Lead-Acid Battery? Lead-acid
The most common lead-acid golf cart battery is a group-size GC2/GC8 battery, therefore, if you choose a Lithium battery that is the same size, such as RELION''S InSight Series™ 48V
If the battery is dirty, now it would be a good time to clean it. Take a blanket and put it around the battery. (If a blanket is a little short or long, not a big deal, it will work well as well.) Secure it well
A gel battery design is typically a modification of the standard lead-acid automotive or marine battery. A gelling agent is added to the electrolyte to reduce movement inside the battery case. Many gel batteries also use one way valves in place of open vents, which helps the normal internal gasses to recombine back into water in the battery, reducing gassing.
If you look at seat construction, it''s a lot of foam rubber under the cloth. You''ll never get it out. Can''t take the battery back no either probably with the acid leaked out.
Once upon a time, battery casings were made from more porous materials - tarred wood, rubber, etc. - which were susceptible to degrading after exposure to the moisture coming from unsealed concrete. As the casing degraded, battery
If no sign, it'll be fine. The major fear of putting a lead-acid battery on its side is it spilling sulfuric acid onto wherever it might end up. It won't hurt the battery itself, other than if it loses acid. If you are sure no acid has leaked, then it's probably a case of "no harm; no foul" and you got lucky.
It won't hurt the battery itself, other than if it loses acid. If you are sure no acid has leaked, then it's probably a case of "no harm; no foul" and you got lucky. The meaning of "sealed" is generally stating you don't open them up to check the acid level. They still have vents which allow hydrogen gas to escape as the battery is being charged.
Sulphuric acid is pretty strong acid so you should still treat a potential leak as a leak. As mentioned, agm batteries like Optima and a few other less well known are popular for off road where the battery can be mounted upside down or sideways. Completely sealed.
If you are going to put it under your seat your should put it in an enclosure. You should also use a vented battery that you can vent outside of the cab. Good luck. You must log in or register to reply here.
The meaning of "sealed" is generally stating you don't open them up to check the acid level. They still have vents which allow hydrogen gas to escape as the battery is being charged. Acid can still escape from the vent if the battery is put into a position where the acid can escape through the vent.
Acid can still escape from the vent if the battery is put into a position where the acid can escape through the vent. Depends on the battery type what bad can happen, but generally that doesn't include harm to the battery -- it includes danger of acid leaks. Sealed, maintenance-free doesn't mean anything.
