A routine preventive maintenance program for the battery in your vehicle is the only way to ensure quick and reliable starts. Before performing any battery maintenance, ensure you have the proper equipment necessary to work safely around the battery. Precautions should be taken whenever battery maintenance is performed. Always turn the engine and all accessories off and disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery before servicing. The battery produces hydrogen gas, which is both flammable and explosive. Never create a spark, smoke or light a match around the battery and always charge the battery in a ventilated area. 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, looking for any corroded or loose connections, cracks in the case or cover or loose hold-down clamps. If corrosion is evident, 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 nut and bolt are light. Any metal parts of the vehicle damaged by corrosion should be covered with a zinc-based primer, then painted. 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 also a good way to maintain the battery charge in a vehicle that's only driven a few miles between starts. Use a one or two-amp battery charger for the safest and least strain on the battery. The average time necessary to charge a battery should be listed in the instructions that come with the charger. As a general rule, a trickle charger will charge a battery in 12 to 16 hours.
