Visually inspect the indicator eye on the top of the battery. If the indicator eye is black in color, charge the battery.

Perform a battery load test using a load tester. This test evaluates the battery's ability to operate the starter and other accessories during heavy amperage draw.

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 for safety, including a face shield or safety goggles, baking soda, petroleum jelly, battery post or cable cleaner, treated felt washers, a puller, and rubber gloves. 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 or lighting matches near it and charge the battery in a ventilated area. Remember that the electrolyte contains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid, so avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothes, and wear protective safety glasses. Check the external condition of the battery for any torn or damaged rubber protectors, corroded or loose connections, cracks in the case or cover, or loose hold-down clamps. Some models have a battery condition indicator on top, which can help identify a low-charge battery condition. If corrosion is present, remove the battery for cleaning by loosening the cable clamp bolts and sliding them off the terminals, then disconnect the hold-down clamp bolt and nut. Clean the cable clamps thoroughly with a battery brush or terminal cleaner and a solution of warm water and baking soda, being careful not to let the solution enter the battery. Clean the terminals and top of the battery case with the same solution, wearing safety goggles and rubber gloves. Inspect the battery carrier and metal brackets for corrosion and clean or sand them as necessary. Reinstall the battery, ensuring no parts or wires are on the carrier, and install specially-treated felt washers around the terminals. Coat the terminals and cable clamps with petroleum jelly or grease to prevent further corrosion, and tighten the nuts on the cable clamps, installing the negative cable last. Install the hold-down clamp and nuts, being careful not to overtighten them. Check the battery tray and hold-down clamp bolts for tightness and ensure no parts remain in the tray when reinstalling the battery. 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 only a few miles between starts. Avoid using a charger rated more than 1/10th the amp/hour rating of the battery, and reserve rapid boost charges for emergency situations. The average time to charge a battery is typically 12 to 16 hours.
