What is the Best Season to Replace a Car Battery?
1 Answers
Due to the low temperatures in winter, the failure rate of car batteries is high, so battery replacements are more common during this season. Below are the precautions for battery usage and replacement methods: Precautions for battery usage: Regularly check the electrolyte level. If it falls below the minimum level mark, replenish it immediately. Continued use in this state will not only accelerate the aging of internal components and shorten the battery's lifespan but may also cause explosions. Keep the battery away from open flames and avoid sparks caused by short circuits near the battery. When charging the battery, carefully read the warning labels and remove the battery from the machine. The battery's electrolyte, dilute sulfuric acid, is corrosive and should not come into direct contact. If electrolyte comes into contact with eyes, skin, or clothing, rinse thoroughly with clean water immediately. If electrolyte enters the eyes, seek medical treatment after rinsing with water. Perform regular maintenance and care for the battery. Battery replacement method: Open the engine hood, remove the red positive terminal of the battery, followed by the black negative terminal. Unscrew the battery's mounting screws and install the corresponding new battery. If the electrolyte level is low, replenish with distilled water or a specialized replenishing solution. During daily driving, regularly check if the vent holes on the battery cover are clear, whether the positive and negative terminals are oxidized, and inspect all parts of the circuit for aging or short circuits. If any issues are found, turn off electrical devices.
