  Q: How to checking and maintaining batteries, especially considering specific gravity, electrolyte testing, and voltage readings?

  A: If the car covers a small annual mileage, it is recommended to check the specific gravity of the electrolyte every three months using a hydrometer. A variation of 0.040 or more between any cells indicates a loss of electrolyte or deterioration of the internal plates. For maintenance-free Car Batteries, a battery condition indicator or voltmeter should be used. If the voltage reading is less than 12.0 volts, the battery is discharged and should be charged. Charging should be done at a rate of 3.5 to 4 amps or using a trickle charger at 1.5 amps. Rapid 'boost' charges are not recommended. Maintenance-free batteries take longer to recharge and require a constant voltage type charger. If the battery is fully discharged, it should be recharged by a professional.

  Q: How do you remove and replace the battery in a Toyota Yaris and Toyota Echo?

  A: Before starting work, be sure to review the safety warnings provided. To remove the Car Batteries, locate it on the left-hand side of the engine compartment, above the transmission. Loosen the clamp nut and detach the earth lead from the battery negative terminal post, ensuring it is positioned away from the battery. Next, pivot up the plastic cover from the positive terminal and loosen the positive lead clamp nut. Detach the positive lead and position it away from the battery. Undo the two nuts securing the battery top clamp bar and lift it off, taking care as it may also secure the accelerator cable support bracket. Lift out the battery, keeping it level, and optionally remove the plastic tray underneath. To refit, follow the reverse steps, ensuring the battery terminals and clamps are clean and securely tightened. Note that the battery tray itself is welded in place and cannot be easily removed.
