Maintenance-Free Batteries for Diesel Generator Sets

Mar. 05, 2026

There are two types of maintenance-free batteries for diesel generator sets:

1. Add electrolyte once at the time of purchase and no maintenance (adding supplementary fluid) is required during use;

2. The battery itself has been filled with electrolyte and sealed at the factory, and the user cannot add supplementary fluid at all.

Differences between maintenance-free batteries and ordinary batteries for diesel generator sets:

1. Different service life

Dingbo Diesel Generator warmly reminds that the start-up of diesel generator set requires the battery to provide 24V voltage, which is usually composed of 2 12V batteries in series. Stop using when the voltage is lower than 20.4.

 

2. Different materials

Traditional batteries are made of lead-antimony alloy, while maintenance-free batteries are made of lead-calcium alloy. The former uses antimony and the latter uses calcium, which is the fundamental difference between the two.

 

3. Different phenomena

Different materials will produce different phenomena: traditional batteries will have liquid reduction during use, because the antimony on the grid will pollute the spongy pure lead on the negative plate, weaken the back electromotive force in the battery after full charge, and cause excessive decomposition of water.

A large amount of oxygen and hydrogen escape from the positive and negative plates respectively, reducing the electrolyte. Replacing antimony with calcium can change the back electromotive force of the fully charged battery, reduce the overcharge current, reduce the liquid gasification rate, and thus reduce the loss of electrolyte.

 

4. Different functions

Compared with traditional batteries, maintenance-free batteries do not need to add any liquid, have less corrosion to terminal posts and wires, strong anti-overcharge ability, large starting current, long electricity storage time and other advantages.

 

Maintenance-free battery for diesel generator set: English mark is MF. Due to its structural advantages, the maintenance-free battery has very small electrolyte consumption and basically does not need to add distilled water during its service life. It also has the characteristics of shock resistance, high temperature resistance, small size and small self-discharge. The service life is generally 2-4 times that of ordinary batteries. Due to its structural advantages, the maintenance-free battery for diesel generator set has very small electrolyte consumption and basically does not need to add distilled water during its service life. It also has the characteristics of shock resistance, high temperature resistance, small size and small self-discharge. The service life is generally twice that of ordinary batteries.
