Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery repair technology, specifically to a method for increasing the capacity of waste lead-acid maintenance-free dry batteries. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology and the widespread use of electronic products, the consumption of batteries has increased dramatically, resulting in a massive increase in the number of waste batteries. Improper disposal of waste batteries not only causes serious environmental pollution but also wastes a significant amount of resources. Currently, the main methods for handling waste batteries include recycling and repair / reuse. However, existing waste battery repair methods suffer from low efficiency, poor repair results, and narrow applicability, failing to meet the needs of actual production and daily life.

[0003] Currently, the lead-acid maintenance-free batteries used in electric two-wheelers, electric tricycles, and small electric four-wheelers have a relatively short lifespan. Generally, after one year of use, the battery capacity will drop by 60-80%, and in some cases even by more than 90%, making it impossible to ride the electric vehicle. The only solution is to replace the battery with a new one, which increases the rider's riding costs.

[0004] Therefore, developing an efficient, reliable, and widely applicable method for repairing used batteries is of great practical significance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for increasing the capacity of waste lead-acid maintenance-free dry cell batteries, addressing the problems of low efficiency, poor effectiveness, and narrow applicability in existing waste battery repair technologies. This method aims to achieve efficient repair and reuse of waste batteries, reducing resource waste and environmental pollution. Utilizing the battery charging and discharging principle, corresponding improvement schemes are developed for batteries of different capacities. In special cases, adding a specific proportion of electrolyte is required to achieve a capacity increase of over 95%.

[0006] A method for increasing the capacity of waste lead-acid maintenance-free dry cell batteries, characterized by including battery deformation detection 101, low-charge detection 102, detection of whether a single battery is below 10 volts 103, appearance damage detection 104, and battery overheating detection 105, the specific process is as follows:

[0007] Battery deformation detection 101: Determine whether the battery is deformed;

[0008] If the result is negative, proceed to the next battery cleaning operation, followed by a low-charge starvation test 102 to determine whether the battery is low-charge starvation or not.

[0009] If the determination is yes, then proceed with "repairing with a small current until the voltage of each battery reaches 12 volts, then switch to charging with a regular charger", followed by battery heat detection 105 to determine whether there is heat or not;

[0010] If the result is negative, the repair process is now complete.

[0011] If the presence of heat is detected, the battery is treated to reduce overheating. Then, the protective cover is removed, the protective cap is taken out, and electrolyte of a corresponding dosage and specific ratio is added according to the pressure of each hole. Then, "normal charge and discharge repair is performed, with the number of repairs being proportional to the battery capacity. Repairs are continued until the capacity reaches a satisfactory level." Subsequently, the battery is tested for overheating (105) to determine whether overheating is present or not.

[0012] If the result is negative, the repair process is now complete.

[0013] If the presence is detected, repeat the battery heating treatment.

[0014] If the problem is identified, the next step is to replace the outer casing. Then, "normal charge and discharge repair is performed. The number of repairs is proportional to the battery capacity. Repairs are continued until the battery capacity reaches a satisfactory level." Subsequently, a battery heat detection test (105) is performed to determine whether heat is present or absent.

[0015] If the result is negative, the repair process is now complete.

[0016] If it is determined that there is, perform battery heating treatment, then remove the protective cover and take out the protective cap, and add the corresponding dosage and special ratio of electrolyte according to the different pressure of each hole, and then perform "normal charge and discharge repair, the number of repairs is proportional to the battery capacity, and repair is continued until the capacity reaches a satisfactory effect";

[0017] When performing the low-charge starvation test 102, determine whether the battery is low-charge starvation or not;

[0018] If it is determined that it is not, a test can be performed to see if the voltage of a single battery is below 10 volts to determine whether the battery is / is not below 10 volts.

[0019] If the determination is yes, then the appearance damage inspection 104 can be carried out to determine whether the appearance is damaged or not;

[0020] If it is determined that there is no problem, then "normal charge and discharge repair can be performed. The number of repairs is proportional to the battery capacity. Continue repairing until the capacity reaches a satisfactory level".

[0021] If it is determined that it is not, then "normal charge and discharge repair, the number of repairs is proportional to the battery capacity, keep repairing until the capacity reaches a satisfactory effect", and then perform battery heat detection 105 and other steps;

[0022] When determining whether the appearance is damaged, if it is determined to be damaged, the appearance can be repaired, followed by "normal charge and discharge repair, the number of repairs is proportional to the battery capacity, continue repairing until the capacity reaches a satisfactory effect", and then perform battery heat detection 105 and other steps.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0024] The waste battery repair method provided by this invention can accurately determine the battery fault type by performing multi-dimensional detection on the battery, including deformation detection, depletion detection, voltage detection, appearance damage detection, and heat detection, and take corresponding repair measures according to different fault types, thereby improving the pertinence and effectiveness of the repair.

[0025] The specific beneficial effects are as follows:

[0026] High repair efficiency: Clear repair procedures have been developed for different fault types, avoiding blind repair, reducing repair time, and improving repair efficiency;

[0027] Excellent repair effect: By combining multiple repair methods such as low-current repair, normal charge and discharge repair, and adding a special ratio of electrolyte, the capacity and performance of the battery can be effectively restored, so that the repaired battery can meet the usage requirements.

[0028] Wide applicability: This method is applicable to various types of waste batteries and can repair batteries with different fault types, thus expanding the scope of application of the repair method;

[0029] Simple to operate: The repair process is clear and straightforward, and the operation steps are simple and easy to understand, making it easy for staff to master and operate;

[0030] Environmental protection and energy conservation: By repairing and reusing used batteries, the disposal of used batteries is reduced, environmental pollution is reduced, and resources are saved, which is in line with the concept of environmental protection and energy conservation.

[0031] Obviously, based on the above description of the present invention, and according to common technical knowledge and conventional methods in the field, various other modifications, substitutions or alterations can be made without departing from the basic technical concept of the present invention.
