Part 1 on charging with a power supply: • ⛔️ Laboratory Power Supply Is Not Pro... Using a laboratory power supply to charge lead-acid batteries may seem like a convenient and economical solution, but it carries a number of potential risks, especially for people who do not have specialist knowledge in this field. The following description aims to provide a reliable presentation of the risks associated with this approach, as well as to emphasize the importance of safe use and maintenance of batteries. At the outset, it is worth emphasizing that lead-acid batteries are extremely common in many applications, from vehicles to emergency power systems. Their simplicity of design and reliability mean that they are often chosen as a source of energy. However, improper charging of such batteries, especially using power supplies not specifically designed for this purpose, can lead to damage to the battery and, in extreme cases, even to fire or explosion. Laboratory power supplies, although versatile in use, are not designed with the specifics of charging lead-acid batteries in mind. The first and most important difference is the method of voltage and current regulation. Lead-acid batteries require very precise control of both of these parameters during the entire charging process, which is crucial for their longevity and safety of use. Laboratory power supplies often do not have appropriate charging algorithms, which can lead to overcharging the battery or charging it with too high a current, which in turn can result in overheating, damage to the battery cells or even their explosion. Another threat is the lack of thermal and overcurrent protection, which are standard in dedicated chargers for lead-acid batteries. In the event of a battery failure or excessive heating, dedicated chargers can automatically switch off, preventing further damage. Laboratory power supplies, without such functions, can not only damage the battery, but also pose a real fire hazard. Improper charging of lead-acid batteries can also result in a shortened lifespan. These batteries are designed to work in specific conditions and any deviation from them, such as incorrect charging voltage or too high current, can lead to faster wear. As a result, the user may be forced to replace batteries more often, which not only generates additional costs but also negatively affects the natural environment. In addition, the lack of appropriate knowledge and experience in the use of laboratory power supplies and lead-acid batteries can lead to errors, such as incorrect polarity connection or setting charging parameters too high. Such actions can not only damage the battery, but also pose a direct threat to the health and life of the user and people in their environment. In the context of the above threats, it is extremely important for users of lead-acid batteries to use dedicated chargers, designed specifically for safe and efficient charging of these devices. Such chargers are equipped with appropriate safeguards and charging algorithms, which not only ensure safety, but also contribute to extending the life of the batteries. Finally, it is worth mentioning that education and expanding knowledge on the safe use and maintenance of lead-acid batteries is a key element in preventing accidents and failures. In this context, the mrAkumulator channel plays an important educational role, providing valuable information and tips on the correct use of batteries.
