BATTERY HYDROMETER By Labcare Export

Product Description

A Battery Hydrometer is an instrument used to measure the specific gravity of a liquid, typically used to check the charge state of the electrolyte in lead-acid batteries. The hydrometer helps assess the level of charge by indicating the density of the battery's electrolyte (a mixture of sulfuric acid and water). This measurement can be compared to a reference scale to determine the charge or discharge level and assess the condition of the battery.

Key Features:

1. Measuring Specific Gravity: It measures the specific gravity of the electrolyte in each cell of the battery. This helps in determining the state of charge of the battery, ensuring it's operating efficiently.
2. Battery Health: Helps in checking the electrolyte level in battery cells, providing insight into the health of the battery. If the electrolyte is too low, or if theres a large difference in specific gravity between cells, it can indicate poor battery performance or potential failure.
3. Simple Design: Generally consists of a float, a scale, and a rubber tube, with a clear casing to hold the electrolyte sample.
4. Applications: Primarily used in vehicles, solar power storage systems, forklifts, and other equipment that rely on lead-acid batteries.

Applications:

• Battery Maintenance: Used for monitoring and maintaining the electrolyte health in lead-acid batteries for vehicles and industrial use.
• Testing: It provides important diagnostic information on the charge status, indicating whether the battery is fully charged, discharged, or needs maintenance.
