What are the signs that a car battery needs replacement?
1 Answers
Car batteries need replacement when they have insufficient charge or are faulty. Battery maintenance methods include: 1. Charge promptly when the ammeter indicates low charge; 2. Adjust electrolyte density according to regional and seasonal standards; 3. Add distilled water or special replenishing fluid when electrolyte is low; 4. Limit engine cranking to 5 seconds maximum per attempt; 5. Start the vehicle periodically if the battery remains unused for extended periods; 6. Regularly check that the battery vent holes remain unobstructed; 7. Inspect battery terminals for oxidation; 8. Examine all electrical circuits for aging or short-circuiting.
