Preventing Damage to Battery

Battery or batteries often called a source of electric power in the car. Accu also need good care, as well as the engine for vital functions. Without the support of the prime batteries, magneto ignition as a trigger operation of the machine will be hard driven cars. And with good care, the lifetime of the batteries can be maximized up to two years of use. Here are tips that can be a maximum age of the batteries.
 
1. Turn off your electronic devices. When finished using the car, turn off the first
advance a variety of car electronics accessories, such as a car outside lights, cabin lights, air conditioning, and audio device before turning off the engine contacts. With this behavior, age of the batteries will be longer because the electrical currents are not sucked in vain.
 
2. Clean the battery terminals. Keep the battery terminals positive pole and negative pole is always clean and dry to prevent rust. If there is corrosion on battery terminals, although only a thin layer of rust, may reduce the ability of batteries to send or receive an electrical current. And if the acid salt formed in the terminal battery, the terminal off and then wash with hot water. However, if formed rust, clean using a wire brush or use a special cleaning fluid such as WD40. Keep in mind, do not occasionally use a liquid such as WD40 to clean the parts made of plastic, because it will make the plastic becomes brittle. Instead, use special cleaners such as Contact Cleaner, to clean the plastic socket.
 
3. Check the battery water. Note the volume of water to keep the batteries as needed. Never lacking or excessive. Lack of water can cause cell damage accu batteries. This can lead to reduction of supply of electric current generated. In addition, the defective battery cell does not lead to accu perfectly capable of storing electricity. And if the filling of water in excess batteries, electrochemical processes can lead to overheating of the batteries.
 
4. Make sure the battery position is firmly in place. When the placement of loose batteries, car vibrations can damage the inside of the battery, thus shortening his age. Try not to have rust on the car battery holder. Clean with a wire brush or cleaning fluid when there is corrosion on the battery holder.
 
5. Resting batteries. If your car is not used in quite a long time, remove the negative battery terminal to battery condition awake. Hours of system memory, audio, alarm, central lock and will continue to work if the battery still attached. As a result, the batteries will run out of electrical power. Because the batteries still issued despite the electrical energy of electronic devices in cars not currently in the process of usage.
