  Q: What is the routine preventive maintenance program for the battery in your Toyota Tercel?

  A: To begin with, always turn off the engine and disconnect the negative terminal before servicing. Also, check the battery for damage, loose connections, or corroded terminals. If corrosion is present, remove the battery for cleaning with a battery brush or terminal cleaner as well as a baking soda solution. Ensure the battery tray and hold-down clamp are in good condition. Remove corrosion with a baking soda solution, and cover damaged parts with a zinc-based primer. The average charging time is 12 to 16 hours with a trickle charger.

  Q: How do you remove and replace a Toyota Tercel battery?

  A: Starting with the negative battery terminal, disconnect both cables from the battery terminals. 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. Remove the battery hold-down clamp. To remove the battery, detach the negative and positive cables, remove the hold-down strap nuts and hold-down strap, then carefully lift the battery out. Lift out the battery, but be careful as it's heavy. While the battery is out, inspect the carrier (tray) for corrosion. If you are replacing the battery, make sure to get one that's identical, with the same dimensions, amperage rating, cold cranking rating, etc. Installation is the reverse of removal.
