Battery Mistakes All Train Lighting battery Owners Need To Avoid!

Do not mix new batteries with old batteries

Railway Train Lighting Battery reconditioning: often reconditioning an old Train Lighting battery can become quite a costly affair if you keep replacing dead batteries one by one; even the new battery will drain out rapidly as the old batteries tend to draw more out of the new one. 

Train Lighting replacement batteries: It is best to have an expert from the company visit you to have a thorough inspection of the Train Lighting batteries after a complete charge, compare the cell voltage, specific gravity to decide the state of charge & whether it needs to be replaced at all.

Avoid any sort of additives or desulfation methods

How to recondition Train Lighting batteries? Train Lighting Batteries are electro-chemical devices. All chemicals have a half-life period beyond which regeneration with chemical additives or desulfators for batteries have little effect if any temporary. 

The normal mode of failure of Train Lighting batteries is usually due to grid corrosion towards the end of life, if the lead alloys are not designed properly. Desulfators cannot repair corroded grids.
