Taking Care of Your Car's Battery
Overview
Your car's battery requires regular attention despite claims of being "maintenance-free." Annual checks are essential to avoid inconvenient breakdowns.Essential Steps for Battery Maintenance
1. Determine Your Battery Type:
- If your battery is sealed, it truly is low-maintenance, requiring no water.
- Non-sealed batteries need regular water checks, especially in summer as water evaporates faster. They have vent caps for this purpose. Always use distilled water to maintain the correct levels.
2. Critical Maintenance Tips for All Batteries:
Clean the Cables:
- Remove the cables and scrub them with a wire brush dipped in a homemade solution (1 tablespoon of baking soda mixed with 1 cup of water).
- Clean the top of the battery with this mixture using a small paintbrush.
Lubricate the Posts:
- Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to each post to prevent corrosion and to ease cable reattachment.
Check Connections:
- Ensure the cables are securely connected.
- If your car has a battery hold-down bar, make sure it's properly positioned to keep the battery stable.
Conclusion
Regular maintenance can significantly extend your battery's life and reduce the risk of unexpected failures. Even so-called "maintenance-free" batteries need periodic care. By following these simple steps annually, you'll keep your vehicle running smoothly.
