Your car’s battery starts the car up, keeps it running, and helps power all the electrical components. There may come a time where you need to remove the battery, such as when it needs to be replaced or checked for corrosion. Although this task is simple to do, it must be done carefully and properly because it can be dangerous. Auffenberg Volkswagen has the details on how to remove a car battery safely.
Be sure to put on insulated work gloves before handling a car battery. Batteries hold enough charge to deliver a deadly shock. You will also want to protect your eyes so that they don’t come in contact with corrosive materials from the battery. Do not touch the battery until the car has been shut off. If the vehicle is on, it can produce a spark and ignite flammable agents.
Here are a few other tips to keep in mind:
If the terminal is fused, a special battery cable removal tool will need to be used.
Now that the tasks above are complete, it is time to follow the steps below to safely remove your battery:
Making sure your battery is in good condition can help you to avoid a vehicle breakdown on the roads of Madison.
