How to maintain your car battery and regular maintenance method

With low temperatures, the car’s electrical storage is affected, namely the battery. Therefore, we sometimes find that we do not manage the march when we want to move in the morning in the winter. Hence,
the common mistakes must be avoided, which are :Low battery fluid level. Overcharging, which results in acid deficiency. Not installing the battery terminals. The temperature rises when the alternator is overcharged. Reducing the use of the car leads to a lack of battery charge, and from here results in the marcher exerting an effort because the battery has a large internal resistance. The battery has expired and has not been used over the years.
The battery must be maintained periodically, especially in the winter, to keep it in good condition, as follows:

1. Install the battery in its place well.
2. Regularly filling the battery with distilled water in case it is decreasing if it is acidic, but if it is dry, it must be checked with the alternator every once in a while.
3. Monitoring the density of the acid once a month.
4. Protection of the ends (snips) and poles from rust.
5. When cleaning the battery or traveling for a long time, suitable keys must be used to remove the straw to preserve the battery.
6. Clean the tips and electrodes with sodium carbonate or ammonia
7. Install the clamp well, then grease it .
8. Ensure that there is no ground contact with the chassis, such as the car touching the street lighting poles, for example.
9. Not insisting on starting the movement when the engine refuses to run or start because that will consume the battery a lot.

We recommend that you follow some important measures to extend the life of the battery, which are: First, the battery life must be known before purchase and the warranty periods. Secondly, choosing the appropriate battery for the size of the car is done according to the electricity that the alternator produces, whether it is 50 amps or 60 amps of electricity, and so on. Third, not to install a battery larger than charging the alternator , because in this case it does not compensate for the sufficient charging of the battery.
Fourth, not to put water from the tap inside the battery when the acid water drops inside it, because tap water contains quantities of minerals and carbonates that interact with sulfuric acid and lead inside the battery, which reduces the lifespan of the battery. Fifthly, when the lamp on the car dashboard is lit, which always appears with the oil lamp when the car is started, this does not mean that there is a malfunction in the battery, but rather it may be a malfunction in the alternator , which is the reason for lighting this lamp. Sixth and finally, it is advised not to empty the battery water during travel for a long time, because the liquid is formed as a result of the reaction of dilute sulfuric acid with lead, but the battery is kept in its place with one of the battery dealers and distributors to keep it in the proper way by recharging it every 15 days on the charging device designated for that.
