Electricity came into our lives forever.It penetrates into those devices, which until recently were considered mechanical.It invaded it in the scope of measuring time: the spring replaced the neat watch batteries, to save people from having to start every day gear.
now operate on batteries and large wall clocks, alarm clocks and desk, and wrist chronographs.They are able to provide the mechanism for years, but there comes a time when their time to change the new.It signals that the lifetime ends, it becomes a constant backlog of arrows for a few minutes a day.
What are watch batteries
Usually a person takes their own used batteries and hopes to buy exactly the same.And very often it turns out that it is in a shop there, but there are plenty of analogues.Depending on the size and construction of the clock, which is used in the penlight, point (button, disk) and solar batteries.
Cyl indricheskie
batteries are used in wall clocks, small household appliances with the function of time display, alarm clock.They have different sizes, depending on it are marked as AA (R06) - penlight and AAA (R03) - mizinchikovye.Produced with a salt and an alkaline electrolyte.Saline batteries are cheap, but have a small shelf life, do not work in sub-zero temperatures.Alkaline batteries weigh more salt and exceed their capacity by 1.5 times.They are expensive, long kept their lifetime above.Recently gaining popularity lithium batteries: they are not cheap, but powerful, reliable, serve at any temperature.
Pushbutton watch batteries
miniature and lightweight, they are used in different types of electronic watches.They are divided into three types.Zinc-manganese - the most inexpensive and less capacious.Shelf life - 2 years.Silver-oxide have higher energy characteristics are stored up to 3 years.Disc lithium have low self-discharge, stored up to 10 years.Extremely functional.Ideal for use in multi-functional wristwatch.
Solar energy
come up with photovoltaic generators embedded in watches Japanese.Unlike other types, they are safe for the environment, also durable, reliable and lightweight.This battery is able to charge for hours, even from ordinary lamps and candle lights meager.It is unfortunate that the company producing watches with solar cells, can be counted on the fingers.From well-known manufacturers is worth noting Casio and innovators such as Citizen.
little about as
If we talk about quality, experts advise to buy products of Japanese manufacturers.Their term of office as declared.These watch batteries are very good.And very expensive.
Chinese producing short-lived beautiful watches produced roughly the same battery.They are good, the quality is consistent with price.
Dear manufacturers from cheese and chocolate produced under well-known brand rather average battery, which sometimes may leak, damaging the watch mechanism.And the products of German manufacturers are not better or worse than their Asian counterparts.
Replacing the battery in hours
Replacing the battery in the clock - the process is not that difficult but prestigious expensive models are better attributed to the workshop.In an hour it can be easier to change the battery yourself.First, you need to open the enclosure with a small screwdriver.
To do this, the clock put on the table back up.Usually, on the back cover has a recess.It gently podkovyrivaetsya, the cap is removed.Now we have to get the item needs to be replaced - a small silver tabletochku.It is also necessary to carefully knock over up and bring them to the nearest electronics store.Buy the same battery and give the old for recycling.
Arriving home, repeat the process in reverse order.The battery must face up with the side on which the marking is stamped.Cover back the clock and snaps.The process is finished.
