To prolong the life of any battery and to derive maximum benefits from it, proper maintenance of battery is necessary. This Presentation gives 6 tips on how to rightly maintain batteries.
1. Six Steps to Right Battery Maintenance
1. Insulate Your Garage
A well insulated car garage will keep your battery warm in the winter and cool in
summer.
2. Keep Batter Terminals Clean
2. Remove the clamps and clean away grease, dirt and oxidation. A filthy battery
connection will weaken the charge.
3. Insulate your Battery
If you don't have an insulated garage, you can always insulate the battery. It's a cheap
way to protect the battery.
4. Fix Your Battery Tight To The Tray
3. A loose battery rubbing against other parts of your engine or battery acid spilling
all over your motor is not good. Make sure the battery sits correctly on a clean
battery tray.
5. Save conventional energy. Buy a solar battery charger.
Solar battery chargers need no power sources as long as the sun is up.
6. Maintain the right water level in the battery.
Maintain optimal distilled water in your battery. Check water levels periodically.
