1. Make sure of serviceability of a condition of the pallet of the battery. Check reliability of fixing of the battery on the pallet a clamping level. Corrosion traces from the pallet, a clamping level and the case of the battery can be removed by means of solution of baking soda. Upon completion of processing, carefully rinse the processed surfaces with clear water. The metal surfaces damaged by corrosion have to be covered with special primer on a zinc basis, and then are painted. |
2. Regularly (approximately time in three months) check battery charge level (see Systems of start and a charge). |
3. In case of replanting of the battery start of the engine can be carried out from the external power supply (see above).
|
Decrease in corrosion of plugs and terminal clips is promoted by processing by their acid-free vaseline. |
|
4. The battery is located in the left part of a motive compartment of the car. External survey of the battery on existence of cracks and other damages of a case/cover has to be made regularly. |
|
5. Check reliability of tightening of terminal clips of wires of the battery (A) guaranteeing quality of electric contact. Clips should not be turned freely on polar plugs of the battery. In parallel check a condition of isolation of wires (In). |
|
6. At identification on polar plugs of traces of development of corrosion in the form of powdery deposits of white color remove clips from plugs and carefully smooth out the damaged surfaces a rigid brush. Establish clips into place and strongly tighten them. |
|
|
In shops of automobile accessories it is possible to buy special devices for cleaning of plugs of the battery (it is shown in a picture). |
|
|
7. Also special rigid brushes for cleaning of internal surfaces of terminal clips are issued. |
