The summer wind is hot and full of energy, and it is a good time to ride a motorcycle to your heart's content. However, in this high temperature environment, the maintenance of motorcycle batteries becomes particularly important. Today, let's share with you the summer maintenance tips for GEMBATTERY MCSA series motorcycle batteries, so that your car can always be in the best condition.

1. Review of the advantages of GEMBATTERY MCSA series batteries

Before starting the maintenance strategy, let's briefly review the strengths of the GEMBATTERY MCSA series batteries. It uses advanced technology and has strong power. The instant start function allows you to quickly ignite and roar the engine in the hot summer, whether in congested city streets or when you are ready to go to the suburbs to enjoy freedom. Moreover, this series of batteries has a long battery life, eliminating worries for your long-distance riding. It has high durability and can work stably in harsh environments such as high temperature and bumps. Coupled with the lightweight design, it improves the controllability of the motorcycle while reducing energy consumption. Such an excellent battery can better exert its excellent performance through proper maintenance.

2. Challenges faced by batteries in summer

Hazards of overheating during charging: When charging in summer, due to the high ambient temperature, the battery itself will generate heat during the charging process, and the double heat will be superimposed. If the charging method is incorrect, such as using an inappropriate charger or charging for too long, it is easy to cause the battery to overheat. Overheating will not only accelerate the aging of the internal components of the battery, but may also cause the battery to bulge, deform, and even pose a safety hazard.

Impact of humid environment: Rain is frequent in summer and the air humidity is high. If the motorcycle is often parked or driven in such a humid environment, the battery is prone to moisture. Humidity may cause corrosion of the battery shell and terminal, resulting in poor contact, affecting the battery's charging and discharging efficiency, and then affecting the start-up and normal operation of the motorcycle.

3. Full analysis of maintenance strategies

Check the electrolyte level: It is crucial to regularly check the electrolyte level of GEMBATTERY MCSA series batteries. Generally speaking, check at least once a week in summer. Open the battery's filling hole and observe whether the liquid level is between the upper and lower limit marks. If the liquid level is below the lower limit, add distilled water in time. Note that tap water or other water containing impurities must not be added, because impurities such as minerals in tap water will react chemically inside the battery and damage the battery. When adding distilled water, add until the liquid level reaches the mark line, and never exceed the upper limit.

Control charging time and temperature: When charging, strictly control the time. The charging time in summer should not be too long, and lead-acid batteries should generally not exceed 8 hours. If a smart charger is used, it will automatically stop charging after being fully charged, which is relatively safer. In terms of charging environment temperature, try to choose to charge in a cool and ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature environment. For example, do not park the motorcycle outdoors in a place exposed to the sun for charging, but park it in an underground parking lot or a place with a sunshade. If the battery temperature is high after riding, it is recommended to wait 1-2 hours for the battery to cool before charging, which can effectively reduce the risk of overheating during charging.

Keep the battery surface clean and dry: Wipe the battery surface with a damp cloth regularly to remove dust, oil stains, and corrosion. Especially the terminal parts should be cleaned carefully to prevent poor contact due to accumulation of corrosion. During the cleaning process, be careful not to wet the wet cloth too much to prevent moisture from entering the battery. After cleaning, make sure the battery surface is completely dry. In addition, after riding in rainy days, check whether the battery is damp in time. If there are signs of dampness, use a clean towel to wipe it dry, and use a hair dryer with cold wind to dry the battery surface from a distance.

Avoid frequent starting and excessive discharge: Each time you start the motorcycle, do not start it multiple times in a row. There should be an interval of 10-15 seconds between two starts to give the battery time to recover. Because frequent starting will cause the battery to output a large current in a short period of time, excessive power consumption, and damage to the battery. During riding, use the electrical equipment on the motorcycle reasonably, such as headlights, turn signals, audio, etc., avoid turning on high-power electrical appliances for a long time, and prevent excessive discharge of the battery. If you do not ride for a long time, it is recommended to start the motorcycle at regular intervals and let the engine run for 15-20 minutes to charge the battery, or use a dedicated motorcycle battery charger for additional charging.

Check the battery connection and shell: Check the positive and negative connections of the battery regularly to see if they are firm, loose, corroded or oxidized. If the connection is found to be loose, it should be tightened in time; for corroded or oxidized parts, use sandpaper to gently polish, remove the oxide, and apply an appropriate amount of butter for protection. At the same time, carefully observe whether the battery shell is damaged, deformed or leaking. Once a problem is found in the shell, the battery should be replaced immediately to avoid affecting the safety of use.
