You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 28800-07010 fits your vehicle.

Ensure that the new one is identical in terms of dimensions, amperage rating, and cold cranking rating.

It is recommended to wait at least 90 seconds after turning off the ignition switch before disconnecting the negative battery cable.

Battery electrolyte contains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid, so you should avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothes, and never ingest it. Protective safety glasses should be worn, and children should be kept away from the battery.

Corrosion-damaged metal parts should be covered with zinc-based primer and painted.

A routine preventive maintenance program for the battery in your vehicle is essential for quick and reliable starts. Before performing any battery maintenance, ensure you have the proper equipment to work safely around the battery. Take precautions when servicing the battery, such as turning off the engine and all accessories and disconnecting the cable from the negative terminal. The battery produces flammable and explosive hydrogen gas, so avoid creating sparks, smoking, or lighting matches near it. Charge the battery in a ventilated area. The electrolyte contains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid, so avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothes, and never ingest it. Wear protective safety glasses and keep children away from the battery. Check the external condition of the battery, looking for torn or damaged rubber protectors, corroded or loose connections, cracks in the case or cover, and loose hold-down clamps. Inspect the cables for cracks and frayed conductors. Some models have a battery condition indicator on top, which can help identify low-charge conditions. If corrosion is present, remove the battery for cleaning. Clean the cable clamps, terminals, and battery case with a solution of warm water and baking soda, taking care not to let the solution enter the battery. Inspect and clean the battery carrier and metal brackets if necessary. Reinstall the battery, ensuring no parts or wires are on the carrier. Install specially-treated felt washers around the terminals and coat them with petroleum jelly or grease to prevent corrosion. Tighten the cable clamps and hold-down clamp, being careful not to overtighten. Check the battery tray and hold-down clamp bolts. Slow-rate charging with a one or two-amp battery charger is recommended for restoring a discharged battery or maintaining charge in a vehicle driven short distances. Avoid using high amperage chargers or rapid boost charges, as they can strain or damage the battery. The average time for charging a battery is typically 12 to 16 hours.

Check for torn or damaged rubber protectors, corroded or loose connections, cracks in the case or cover, and loose hold-down clamps.

Remove all the cell caps and cover the holes with a clean cloth to prevent spattering electrolyte.

If the stereo in your vehicle is equipped with an anti-theft system, make sure you have the correct activation code before disconnecting the battery. A routine preventive maintenance program for the battery in your vehicle is the only way to ensure quick and reliable starts. But before performing any battery maintenance, make sure that you have the proper equipment necessary to work safely around the battery. There are also several precautions that should be taken whenever battery maintenance is performed. The battery produces hydrogen gas, which is both flammable and explosive. Electrolyte contains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid. Note the external condition of the battery. If corrosion is evident, particularly around the terminals, the battery should be removed for cleaning. Clean the cable clamps thoroughly with a battery brush or a terminal cleaner and a solution of warm water and baking soda. Make sure that the battery tray is in good condition and the hold-down clamp bolts are tight. Any metal parts of the vehicle damaged by corrosion should be covered with a zinc-based primer, then painted. The manufacturer recommends the battery be removed from the vehicle for charging because the gas that escapes during this procedure can damage the paint. Slow-rate charging is the best way to restore a battery that's discharged to the point where it will not start the engine. It's best to use a one or two-amp battery charger. The average time necessary to charge a battery should be came with the charger. Remove all the cell caps (if equipped) and cover the holes with a clean cloth to prevent spattering electrolyte. Disconnect the negative battery cable and hook the battery charger cable clamps up to the battery posts, then plug in the charger. If you're using a charger with a rate higher than two amps, check the battery regularly during charging to make sure it doesn't overheat. If the battery has removable cell caps, measure the specific gravity with a hydrometer every hour during the last few hours of the charging cycle. Some batteries with sealed tops have built-in hydrometers on the top that indicate the state of charge by the color displayed in the hydrometer window. If the battery has a sealed top and no built-in hydrometer, you can hook up a voltmeter across the battery terminals to check the charge.
