How to Clean-n-Service NiFe Cells & Replace the Electrolyte !

Any NiFe Battery that is Not holding Charge to 1.2V, you need to First;

1. Do a Continuity Test to see if any of the Terminal Plates are Shorting !
2. CLEANING: Remove and Tip out all the Electrolyte into a Non Corrosive Bucket/Container, Keep OUT of the Way of CHILDREN & ANIMALS & let settle with a Cover.
• We have been told you can Fine Filter the Electrolyte down to 2 micron & re-use.
3. Get the Garden Hose and fast Flush & Fill with as much Pressure into above the Cell Plates.
4. Put all Cell fill Plugs Bungs on, so theirs no Leakage, Rocking or Rock the Cells back & fort should dislodge any loose Debris around the Plates, if a small Ah Cell you could Shake it.
5. Tip the Flushed Contents into a Large Plastic Garbage bin or Non corrosive Container.
6. If any loose Debris comes out, keep Filling Flush the Battery until Clear water comes out.
7. If/When there is No silt or residue, do a Continuity Test to see if any of the Terminal Plates are Shorting!
8. RESTORING: If OK, Mix a New batch of Electrolyte, & it should work again for 7~15years if Not Over Discharged or Distilled Water is not used to Maintain Liquid Height.

If You are finding Your Electrolyte in Not Lasting for 5+ Years, you May be Consuming more than 80% of the kWh Storage Energy, as this can Kill the Electrolyte Quickly !

Solution is simple, Purchase more Energy Storage that is Compatible.

As Much as we like NiFe and LiFePO4 Battery Technology, Nothing comes close to Super Capacitor (SC) Energy Storage & Hydrogen Energy Storage !
