Batteries, Starting & Charging
Tips for maintaining your battery…
Keep it clean! Regularly clean the battery and its terminals. There are specific terminal cleaning solvents out there but just a simple mixture of baking soda and water will remove dirt or corrosion. Use a wire brush or a toothbrush to scrub the terminals.
Check the battery’s fluid level: Some batteries require maintenance, such as checking the fluid level and topping it off with distilled water if necessary. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions to determine if your battery requires this.
Make sure the battery is tightly secured: Vibration can damage the battery and shorten its life.
Check the charging system: Have your battery’s charging system checked periodically, especially if you notice any signs of a weak battery, such as slow engine cranking, dimming headlights, or dashboard warning lights.
Keep the battery charged! If you don’t drive your car frequently, use a battery maintainer (trickle charger) to keep the battery charged. This will prevent it from losing its charge so you get the longest long from your battery.
