– In the battery testing material, the photo shows that the number of positive and negative plates in the Tyumen battery is not the same. Why is this being done?
– Specialists of the Tyumen battery plant, at our request, explained that, first of all, during operation, the positive plates of the battery usually wear out. That is why they have been made thicker: 0.9 mm versus 0.7 mm for negatives.
For the same purpose, their number was increased in the specified battery: 8 positive and 7 negative in each section. This helps to increase the battery capacity.
We count the plates: in a normal battery – 8 positive and 7 negative, and in a hacky – only 6 plus 5.
The greater the total area of the plates, the greater the current that the battery can produce in the starter discharge mode, the higher the energy reserve can be. The use of batteries with a small number of plates leads to an increase in the current density on their surface. And this drastically shortens the life of the plates.
