Check of a condition of the battery, care of it and charging

Address also to materials of the Head of System of electric equipment of the engine.

The battery is in a water-collecting compartment, between a motive compartment and a windshield.

The provided service life of the battery is reached only if it is always rather charged.

When using of the car mainly at short distances or at the long parking, we recommend to a thicket to carry out an inspection of battery zaryazhennost degree.

Tools and materials necessary at service of the battery

1 — the Front board / goggles — during removal of traces of corrosion by a rigid brush the crystallized acid particles easily can get to eyes.
2 — Baking soda — water solution of baking soda is used for neutralization of traces of corrosion.
3 — Acid-free vaseline — greasing of plugs of the battery will help to avoid development of corrosion in the future.
4 — the Adaptation for cleaning of plugs of batteries / tips of wires — a special form brush nozzles from a rigid wire will help to smooth out effectively plugs of the battery and terminal clips.

5 — the Impregnated felt washers — installation of such washer directly under a terminal clip will allow to avoid corrosion development.
6 — the Stripper — sometimes clips of wires are put on plugs very densely and do not give in to removal even a full otpuskaniye of fixture.
7 — the Adaptation for cleaning of plugs of batteries / tips of wires — despite constructive difference from mentioned in point 4, is intended for performance of the same tasks.
8 — Rubber gloves — it is not necessary to underestimate the importance of this protectant — do not forget that the battery contains sulfuric acid!

Check and leaving

During the work with the battery it is necessary to undertake certain security measures. At banks of the battery always there is extremely a flammable hydrogen therefore do not allow approach to the battery with the lit cigarette or other types of naked flame at all. Electrolyte of the battery represents solution of sulfuric acid which at hit in eyes or on open sites of a body causes serious injuries. Besides, acid corrodes clothes and paints. At shutdown of the battery always the first disconnect a weight cable, and connect it in the last turn!

Corrosion of plugs of the battery is usually shown in the form of light, friable powder

The wire detachment from the battery plug by means of a key - sometimes when corrosion destroyed a nut, for this procedure is required special flat-nose pliers (always the first disconnect and the last connect a weight wire!)

Irrespective of adaptation type for cleaning the pure, brilliant surface of the plug has to be result always

When cleaning tips of wires it is necessary to remove all traces of corrosion (the internal part of a tip has the conicity repeating a battery plug form therefore do not remove too much material)

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Care of the battery is very important procedure allowing to avoid stops in way because of its discharge. Performance of procedure of service requires the corresponding tool.

Before service procedure always at first switch off the engine and switch-off all electric devices, then disconnect a weight cable from the battery.

If the radio receiver of your car is equipped with system of protection against theft, make sure that you gathered the correct code before a battery detachment.

Usually cars are equipped with the batteries which are not demanding special leaving. It is possible to uncover cans and to add the distilled water. Latest models can be equipped with the batteries which are not demanding leaving which are completely sealed.
