The correct sequence for removing a car battery is: 1. Park the car on a level surface and turn off the engine to cut power; 2. Use a screwdriver to remove the battery cover; 3. Disconnect the battery cables, ensuring to remove the negative terminal first, followed by the positive terminal; 4. Remove the battery securing bracket; 5. Install the new battery in reverse order, making sure to connect the positive terminal first, then the negative terminal when reattaching the cables. A car battery, also known as an automotive battery, is primarily used for starting the engine, powering vehicle lighting, audio systems, and other electronic components. If the battery is depleted or malfunctions, it can affect the car's ability to start normally. During routine maintenance, it's important to periodically charge the battery. Additionally, the car should be started periodically, and after turning off the engine, avoid using electronic devices to preserve battery life.
