How to maintain the battery in flood conditions
Good tips for checking cars ... after the flood / drowning situation (electrical system)
- First, don't try to hurry to the engine. Cars that have just been removed from water or water are reduced from flooding. Engine Because the water in the engine makes the connecting rod with the valve push rod
- Do not put a bunch of lights to mount the engine. Cars that are newer than the 1989 or 1989 model will give the LA Turner, which is often referred to as the charger. And many electronic devices have been damaged in the car
- Before replacing the battery Or remove the battery to fill the light again and then use it Or can clearly say Connect the battery to the car again after the water has passed. Disconnect the fuse of the airbag system in order to not work up in this first phase. That the electrical circuit in the air bag system is grounded or shocked The air bag explodes like a work that can be used up just a thousand times.
- Normally when knowing that the car is drowning We should remove the power cord, lift the battery up high on the house first. If the battery is not drowning, it will run out of electricity before it can damage the short circuit current due to water. But when the water is dry, the circuit may be grounded When there is a current, short circuit, when Should immediately remove the battery cable as soon as the car is out of water If not, remove the batteries out of the way first Especially the car that accidentally dropped the water
- Now, when letting the device cycle dry Will release the fuse of the circuit that is confident before leaving, such as the airbag circuit, etc.
