UNDERSTANDING YOUR VEHICLE BATTERY

Knowing the components of your car batteries will help you understand what your technician will check during a successful battery checkup. You have a case around your battery. The battery is shielded from shock and vibration by this casing.

WHAT IS INSIDE THE BATTERY?

There are two terminals visible on the top lid. One is a good thing, while the other is bad. You can discover a solution of sulfuric acid and water within the battery. Additionally, a polyethylene divider that separates the positive and negative plates will be visible. Elements are formed by stacking the plates. The components are connected to the terminal via a cast-on strap. A strong electrical connection is made as a result.

LEAVE THE INSPECTION WORK TO PROFESSIONALS

You shouldn’t open a battery case, per our advice. We only wanted to explain to you what is contained inside. This will make it easier for you to comprehend what we are doing when we check the battery in your car. Leave the inspection to the experts.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN AUTOMOBILE BATTERY INSPECTION?

The battery may be examined in only a few minutes. However, the assurance that comes with knowing that your battery is in good shape is invaluable. We’re going to look at the battery casing. We will clear away dust and debris while searching for corrosion during this phase of the inspection. We may advise that you replace the battery if we discover fractures or leaks from the top of the battery casing. We shall then examine the brackets. Again, significant corrosion is what we’re searching for. If it is, it can indicate that the battery needs to be changed. Your battery’s lifespan will be shortened and it may harm other components of your car if it is moving around while you are driving. We will now inspect the battery terminals and posts to look for corrosion. Instead of requiring you to replace the battery, our professionals will attempt to eliminate the corrosion using a specific cleaning solution. We’ll check for and tighten any loose wires. The fan belt will be checked to see if it is tight. The ability of your battery to recharge might be hampered if your fan belt is slack. It’s possible that we’ll advise you to replace the fan belt if it’s broken or damaged.

DON’T IGNORE POSSIBLE BATTERY ISSUES

Don’t disregard battery problems. According to the manufacturer’s instructions, get your battery examined. If you don’t get your battery tested frequently, you can end up needing to make a costly car electrical repair or becoming stuck at the worst possible moment.
