What should I do if the Sealed Gel Battery is exhausted?
Once the Sealed Gel Battery's power is exhausted below the fully discharged state, it has already caused damage. All you can do is check the electrolyte and place it on the current charger. If this is the first discharge, you should be able to fully charge the battery and continue to use it, but every time it is discharged below the 10.5-volt threshold, it will cause damage.
It is also important to note that starting and driving a fully discharged vehicle is not good for the battery or alternator. Even if you drive it for a long time and keep the engine speeding up, it is extremely unlikely to fully charge the battery like this.
In this way, you will eventually operate the battery in or near the discharged state, which may cause further sulfation. The alternator is also difficult to do this because the alternator is not designed to charge the battery in a fully discharged state. The alternator regulator also requires a 12-volt input to operate properly.
How to avoid draining batteries
The best way to avoid running out of battery power and damaging the battery is to carry out regular maintenance and maintenance, which usually allows you to catch problems before they occur. Parasitic drains should also be dealt with immediately, and are not allowed to persist.
For example, if you find it difficult to start your car in the morning, but you do not turn on the headlights, there may be drainage holes in the system. In the long run, you can save money by repairing the Sealed Maintenance Free Battery before it runs out of power or multiple times before it runs out.
