When removing a battery, disconnect the negative terminal first, then the positive terminal. The steps for battery removal are: 1. Loosen the nut on the negative terminal; 2. Disconnect the negative terminal; 3. Disconnect the positive terminal; 4. Unscrew the nut on the battery securing strap, release the strap, and remove the battery. The functions of a battery are: 1. To supply power to the starting system, ignition system, and electronic fuel injection system when starting the engine; 2. To power the vehicle's electrical equipment when the engine is off or at low idle; 3. To assist in powering electrical equipment when the generator's output is insufficient; 4. To mitigate voltage surges in the electrical system and protect the vehicle's electronic devices; 5. To store excess electricity generated by the alternator.
