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 such as turning off the engine and all accessories and disconnecting the cable from the negative terminal before servicing the battery. The battery produces flammable and explosive hydrogen gas, so never create a spark or light a match 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 when working near the battery and keep children away. Check the external condition of the battery for any damage or loose connections. 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. Ensure the battery tray is in good condition and the hold-down clamp is tight. Corrosion can be removed with a water and baking soda solution, and any damaged metal parts should be covered with a zinc-based primer and painted. Slow-rate charging with a one or two-amp battery charger is recommended for restoring a discharged battery or maintaining the 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.
