some of the more common ones.
The average life expectancy of an automotive battery is 3 to 5 years. Still, several factors such as temperature, poor charging system, faulty alternator, and corrosion can impact that estimate. Even under the ideal conditions, chemical reactions cause batteries to malfunction, and your car will probably need a new one within a few years.
If you’re intent on recharging your car battery, you’ll need a battery charger. Connect it to the matching positive to positive and negative to negative connections. Ensure that you have the correct voltage set for the battery that you’re charging, most likely 12 volts on today’s vehicles.
With the engine off, open the hood and locate the battery. Detach the negative cable from the battery. Loosen the nut with a combination wrench. Twist and pull the end of the cable using your hand. Detach the positive cable from the battery applying the same technique. Utilizing a combination wrench, remove the battery hold-down clamp. Finally, take the battery out of the battery tray.
Undo the clamp nut and remove the battery cable from the negative terminal. Repeat the process on the positive terminal. Undo the battery hold-down clamp lift out the battery. Inspect the battery tray and clean it if necessary. Put the new battery, fitting the hold-down clamps, and securing the positive cable before the negative one.
Car batteries can support a range of voltage, depending on their condition and age. Automotive batteries are usually labeled as 12 volts, but they hold closer to 15 volts due to the power they get from the alternator.
With a multimeter, you can determine if your battery is healthy enough. You need to turn the headlights on for 2 minutes to eliminate any surface charge the battery may have. Set the multimeter to 15-20 volts and turn the lights off. Connect it to the positive and negative battery terminals. If your battery doesn’t have a voltage of around 12.6 volts, you may have a bad battery. Now start the vehicle, and look for a revised voltage over 10. If the voltage drops below 5 when the car is running, it’s too weak and should be replaced right away.
