On November 11th, "Battery Day" How to use the correct battery that does not leak

A battery that you can easily get if you go to a home appliance store.I want to look at how to use it again

　Batteries are commonly used (everyday) products used in our lives, and do you use batteries without thinking deeply? Recently, batteries from domestic manufacturers have prevented liquid leakage and long -term preservation. However, incorrect use causes liquid leakage, leading to equipment failure and accidents. Today, November 11 is "Battery Day". I want to see how to use the correct batteries that do not leak again. First of all, how many people know that today is a battery day? In fact, on November 11th, many anniversaries are set because numbers are lined up. Among them, the Battery Day was enacted by the Battery Industry Association in 1987. If you write "11" in kanji, it will be "+(plus)-(minus)", and it is stipulated in the case of representing the positive electrode and negative electrode of the battery. By the way, on December 12th, the baseball pitcher and catcher position number are 1 and 2, so it is defined as "Battery Day", and batteries from November 11 to December 12 as battery month. We are conducting awareness of how to use it. So what is the correct usage of batteries? Many people think that the plus and the negative direction are not enough. Electronic devices such as smartphones and digital cameras are often used with dedicated lithium -ion batteries, and some people may feel that there are few cases of batteries. However, it is surprising that many products use batteries. In addition to the remote control of home appliances, batteries are used for wireless mice, hanging clocks and placement clocks. Portable electric toothbrush, portable shaver, and electric blood pressure monitor are also dry batteries. Many toys are also driven by battery, and battery stockpiling is indispensable in families with children. For business use, many electronic dictionaries and IC recorders are driven by battery. From the viewpoint of disaster prevention, there are flashlights and mobile radio. Many people use stoves in winter, but ignition is a battery. Recent domestic manufacturers' alkaline batteries have been enhanced not only for high -power and long -lasting performance, but also for long -term storage and liquid leakage prevention. There is no doubt that equipment failures and accidents are less likely to occur. On the other hand, "no matter how much safety is enhanced, incorrect use causes liquid leakage" (battery maker official). Here, I would like to see the most susceptible liquid leakage in the battery. Many of the leaks are due to over -discharge of batteries. Electronic devices flowing weak current to the circuit just by putting a battery. Therefore, if the battery is kept in, the electronic device requires electricity even if the battery capacity is lost, and it becomes an overdischarged state in an attempt to absorb the current. When over -discharged, gas is generated in the battery, so gas accumulates in the battery as it is, the tube expands, and finally bursts. It is leaking to prevent this rupture. In other words, it would be correct to have a liquid leak to prevent explosion accidents. Nevertheless, if the liquid leaks, the device will be damaged, so the point is how to use it so that it does not leak. Many people have experienced liquid leakage by keeping the battery in with a flashlight. Even if you use it correctly, it is a case where the battery leaks for a long time. If you do not use it for a long time, it is better to have a habit of removing batteries. In addition, there are cases of remote control and mouse leakage. Despite the loss of the remote control battery, pressing the button many times and trying to turn on the power, the battery will be loaded and over -discharged. You may be able to operate by pressing the button several times, but it is better not to think that it is a waste because it moves. Battery manufacturers recommend replacing them with a new battery if the reaction becomes a little slower. A little care can prevent liquid leakage. From now on, there will be more opportunities to replace batteries while cleaning up the year. Why don't you look at how to use the batteries again?
