The smart battery independently developed by Thunderwind in the Thunderwind shared power exchange cabinet has eight protections: IPX7 waterproof protection, short circuit protection, leakage protection, overvoltage protection, reverse connection protection, overtemperature protection, overcurrent protection, and chip protection.
What should I do if a battery goes bad?
The first thing you ever do is remove power to the product, whether it's the battery or a power supply. The second thing would be to remove all remaining water.
How do you reconnect a power supply if it gets wet?
Depending on the size and sensitivity of the traces, soldering a wire across the open circuit may be a good enough way to reconnect it (be careful not to cause additional shorts). If only part of the system got wet, consider replacing that part of the system entirely. After applying power back into the circuit if there is still damage,
Does water affect PCB assembly?
Most PCB assembly processes now use no-clean solder, which is supposed to be non-polar and unaffected by water (but who really knows). Water can activate salts and other materials on a PCB which can corrode metals (and essentially turns traces into a battery).
Can you use water to clean PCBs & ICS?
Most chips are sealed to some extent, but water entering into them can create shorts and once the water is inside it is difficult to remove. However, if you don't have moisture-sensitive parts, you can actually use water to clean PCBs and ICs.
Can dried up water damage electronics?
In theory, no, dried up water shouldn't harm electronic components as any H2O will have evaporated, dried up, etc. However, theory and reality are not the same. In reality, the vast majority of water contains some sort of particles and it is these particles that can cause damage to the electronics after the fact.
Can you use water soluble solder to clean PCBs and ICS?
However, if you don't have moisture-sensitive parts, you can actually use water to clean PCBs and ICs. This is actually how water soluble solder works: the flux is water soluble and rises away (which is how I prototype products at work, but also using deionized water).
