The first step in evaluating starting capability involves testing a battery’s state of charge using a hydrometer or voltmeter. All non-sealed batteries should be checked using a hydrometer. As a cheap and reliable method of determining state of charge, the hydrometer also reveals differences between cells and allows visual inspection of the electrolyte colour. Where the hydrometer reading shows no significant difference between cells and produces a reading of 1230 or above (at 20-25°C) the battery has sufficient charge for a load test.
The battery’s physical condition must also be inspected for any signs of damage which may reduce battery life and impede starting performance. This may include broken or damaged posts and leaks to the battery case or lid.

Exide Technologies conscientiously applies a comprehensive business approach called Total Battery Management (TMB), that plays a leading role in one of Australia’s most effective and successful recycling programs.
TBM encompasses manufacturing and distribution of lead-acid batteries, responsible collection and storage of spent batteries, safe transportation and reclamation of battery materials and use of those materials in the production of new batteries. Every year, Exide Technologies in Australia alone collects and recycles the components of 1 million batteries returning 7.5 million kgs of lead.

Batteries have a limited shelf life and when stored gradually lose their power to perform. On average, a fully-charged battery takes about 13 weeks to gradually discharge to less than its optimum operating level. The rate of charge loss depends on battery type (low maintenance or maintenance free) and temperature conditions. Charge loss becomes more evident when temperatures increase. At 20°C low maintenance batteries lose approximately one half of one per cent of charge per day (30 percent in 60 days). At 30°C charge loss is usually double the rate for 20°C.
Under similar temperature conditions, maintenance free batteries lose their charge more slowly than low maintenance batteries. Excessive humidity will also accelerate charge loss. A battery stored upright in cool and dry conditions is ideal. Whilst in storage batteries that have not been recharged and allowed to go flat, may be permanently damaged. Recharging every four to eight weeks, depending on storage conditions, will restore batteries to “as new” condition. It is best to trust Exide Batteries and its National network of reputable stores to deliver the optimal product that is professionally managed.
