The following are additional methods for maintaining the battery of Dehua lithium battery tea-picking machines:
**Cleaning and Maintenance**
- **Keep the Battery Exterior Clean:** Regularly clean dust, debris, and stains from the surface of the battery. Use a clean, soft, damp cloth to gently wipe down the battery casing. Avoid using cleaners that contain corrosive chemicals (such as strong acids or alkali), as these substances can damage the battery casing and compromise its sealing and internal structure. For instance, after operating in a tea garden environment, mud or tea juice may accumulate on the battery surface; timely cleaning prevents these substances from adhering long-term and causing damage.
- **Check the Battery Connectors:** Periodically inspect the connection points between the battery and tea-picking machine to ensure that connectors are clean and free from oxidation. If dirt or slight oxidation is present on connectors, use a clean eraser to gently rub their metal surfaces to maintain good conductivity. Poor connector contact can lead to increased resistance during charging or discharging processes, generating excessive heat that adversely affects both performance and service life.
**Battery Equalization**
- **Conduct Regular Battery Equalization Charging:** For lithium battery packs comprising multiple cells (for example, some large-capacity packs in Dehua lithium battery tea-picking machines may utilize series or parallel configurations), performance discrepancies among cells may arise over time due to usage. Regular equalization charging helps maintain consistent power levels across all cells. Typically, Dehua's tea-picking machine management system includes an equalization function; refer to product manual recommendations for activating this mode at appropriate intervals (e.g., after a specified number of charge-discharge cycles) which aids in extending overall pack longevity.
**Avoid Physical Damage**
- **Prevent Impact and Compression:** During operation and transportation, take care to avoid subjecting batteries to severe impacts, vibrations, or compression forces. For example: when carrying your tea-picking machine do not place heavy objects atop it; while traversing rugged terrain within gardens be vigilant against potential falls that could harm batteries—given their delicate internal structures physical damage might result in serious issues such as cell short-circuits or electrolyte leakage—not only damaging batteries but also posing safety hazards.
- **Correct Installation/Removal Procedures:**
Follow operational guidelines outlined in Dehua’s user manual when installing/removing batteries ensuring they are securely fitted into position preventing looseness during operation.A loose connection risks poor electrical contact affecting normal charge/discharge functionality whilst increasing likelihoods associated with damages incurred through vibrations experienced by machinery.
