3.7.1.Starter Batteries
The electrical resistance on the starting circuit, is a very important parameter for the operation of the diesel engine.
Therefore, the batteries must be placed at a closest possible location to the generator set. This way the battery
connections will be shorter and the resistance of them will be lower. Also any loose connections must be checked
and fixed for this same purpose. (The batteries must be placed at a serviceable and accessible location.)
Batteries must always be maintained well and kept in a good condition, so that the generator set can be ready to
run at any time. Maintenance activities to be done on batteries are briefly explained in the relevant sections below.
Connecting and disconnecting
While connecting battery cables, first connect the positive (+)
terminal, then connect the negative (-) terminal.
While disconnecting battery cables, first remove the negative (-)
connection, then remove the positive (+) connection.
Cleaning
Keep the batteries clean and dry. Any dirt or oxidation left on
the battery, terminals or connections will cause discharge and
voltage drop on batteries.
Remove and clean the pole heads while maintenance, use a
wire brush for cleaning the oxidation. Reconnect the cables
tightly back to the poles and use grease on these connections to
postpone the oxidation.
ATTENTION
The batteries must always be kept under a buffer charge.
The batteries on the generator sets that will be stored for a long
time, must be removed and kept charged. Otherwise, the battery
plates will be corrupted and the batteries will be out of service.
