Handy Car Battery Maintenance Tips from a Leading Auto Shop
Posted: Sep 19, 2012
Author: Country Town Tire & Auto Service Center
A car battery is full of toxic chemicals, and it has to be properly disposed of when it dies. The “green” thing to do, therefore, is to get as much life from your car battery as possible, so that you can reduce the number of batteries you’re going to need. Here are some useful battery maintenance tips from a leading auto shop in Hickory, NC.
- Park in a Garage: A well-insulated garage will keep your car battery warm during winter. A heated garage is not recommended – it will rust your car.
- Insulate the Battery: If your garage isn’t insulated, then insulate the battery. Learn how to do this through this eHOw article.
- Keep the Battery Clean: Remove its clamps and clean away dirt, oxidation and grease. A dirty battery connection weakens the charge.
- Recharge with Solar: Ask your local auto shop to recommend a solar charger. Be sure to use a monitor when you use the solar device so as not to overcharge the battery.
- Use Distilled Water: If you want to stretch the life of a conventional battery, you’ll have to add water periodically. Here is how this is done.
- Secure the Battery Firmly: It’s bad if the battery is loose and hitting against other parts of the engine, and it’s also bad if battery acid spills on the motor. Ensure that the battery sits firmly, and keep the tray clean.
- Before Shutting Off the Engine: Turn off all the vehicle’s electronics and other devices such as parking lights, headlights, interior lights, car alarm, radio, GPS system, and windshield wipers.
