Translations:Fonctionnement, entretien et régénération de batteries au plomb/56/en

• Fusion of the battery terminals: If the connector is loose on the terminal, the electrical contact resistance will increase. When a high current passes, the terminals can melt by the Joule effect (the conversion of electric energy into heat energy by resistance in a circuit). This can lead to fires.

How to avoid it? • Comply with the tightening torques in N.m given by the battery manufacturers. • Regularly check the correct tightening, especially if the batteries are subject to vibrations (for example, golf cars, trailers, etc.).
