Batteries for gas water heater

One common type of ignition of gas water heaters is to ignite the burner from an electric spark. Such ignition is called automatic or electric. It involves the use of batteries. It is the batteries that give you the electrical spark you need to get your speaker up and running. The batteries should be replaced at regular intervals to ensure that the speaker functions properly.

If your speaker depends on batteries to power up, the most common signal that new batteries are needed is a weak spark in the unit. If the batteries are completely discharged, the speaker will not turn on at all.

Batteries may be discharged more frequently due to:

• Increased humidity in the room.
• Contamination of the igniter jets.
• Dirty bypass valve.
• Oxidation of electrical contacts.
• Sticking of contaminated solenoid valve.
• Change of distance from burner to ionization sensor (normal clearance should be 3 mm).

To purchase the right batteries for your speaker, check the manufacturer's recommendations. It is important to pay attention to both the size of the batteries you need, as well as their shape and voltage parameters.

Usually batteries are located inside the speaker in a special box, which is located on the bottom right. Replacement involves the following steps:

1. To take out the battery box, pull back the lever, push the box slightly from the bottom with your fingers and after a click, pull it out into your hand.
2. After removing the dead cells, place the new batteries in the battery compartment, taking note of the polarity (a hint is provided on the lid of the container).
3. Then return the battery container back to its place until you hear a distinctive click. The lever must also be returned to its place.

It is not necessary to use any percussion tools for this. Excessive force when inserting the battery container may damage the fasteners holding the box in place.

To convert a battery-operated heater, you must:

• Purchase a power supply with parameters 220V/3V/500 mA.
• Buy two male-to-female connectors.
• Take the two wires located inside the compartment for the battery box down out of the unit. You will see the "mom" halves and markings on them.
• If the wires are not color coded, mark which one is "+" and which one is "-".
• Cut off the plug from the power supply, separate the wires and solder the "dad" halves to each.
• Connect the halves of the connectors, taking into account the polarity.
• Plug the unit into the socket.
