With a sufficiently long battery life, many motorists still think about buying a new one. This issue becomes especially relevant on the eve of winter cold weather.
Instructions
Step 1
Remember that there are three types of batteries: serviceable, low-maintenance, and maintenance-free. The first type allows the car enthusiast to replace the block of plates of one or more cans if a short circuit has occurred. But hardly anyone will do this. Maintenance-free instruments are designed to operate in near-ideal conditions and are therefore best avoided.
Step 2
Most of the batteries are low-maintenance, which have holes located on the cover and filler plugs. This type will allow you to top up with distilled water in order to raise the density of the electrolyte. When choosing a rechargeable battery, go to the store that is reputable and has been engaged in this kind of activity for several years. Be sure to take the warranty and service center addresses.
Step 3
Pay attention to the manufacturer, which plays an important role in the selection. After that, look at the documentation of your car and select the battery that the manufacturer of your car recommends to you. In this case, you will receive a device with a long service life at a minimum cost. The main parameters of storage batteries are capacity, starting current.
Step 4
Please inspect it carefully before purchasing. Currently, fakes are widespread, which can be distinguished by the following features. The manufacturer and date of manufacture must be indicated on the battery case. Each storage battery has a technical data sheet. Do not be alarmed that you will not be given instructions - its presence is optional.
Step 5
Ask a store to check the battery charge status. Then take the warranty card. During subsequent installation, lubricate the output terminals with special technical grease and firmly fasten the wire connectors to them.
