Are Your Batteries Leaking Voltage While You Sleep?
What happens when dirt and electrolyte mix together on top of a battery case?
Detailed video demonstrates how voltage can travel from the positive terminal on top of a plastic battery case.
With a multimeter, 2 to 5 volts are measured on a dirty 8V golf cart battery. Unfortunately, this behavior can help a battery discharge sooner than it should with a clean case.
Multiple customers with dirty and wet cases have had over discharged batteries that needed to be recovered.
Most battery manufactures list keeping batteries clean and dry as regular maintenance.
Also, lets kill the old myth that batteries drain if left on a concrete floor. 100 years ago, lead acid batteries had a rubber case instead of plastic and had potential to leak voltage if the outside rubber had a hole.
