Car Battery Removal Tips, Car, Battery, Removal, Tips

1
I remember the first time that I ever needed to
replace my car battery.
2
I was with my dad, and he wanted to make sure
that I could remove the car part if I ever was in
an area without a mechanic shop.
3
With that said I would like to share what I
learned from him in case any drivers ever find
themselves in a situation that requires them to
remove their car battery.
4
The first thing that any driver should consider
when messing with any part of the vehicle is to
consider safety.
5
With that said the driver of the vehicle should
turn off the vehicle ignition, and also wear the
necessary safety equipment.
6
No one wants to get a corrosive or possibly
poisonous substance on their hands of face
especially when this is easily preventable.
7
The next step in removing the car battery is to
determine the negative terminal on the car part.
8
With this said there is generally a black cover
over the negative terminal, and the red cap
generally means the positive terminal of the
connection post.
9
Once the terminals have been identified the
driver should grab a properly fitting socket, and
remove the nut on the negative terminal of the
battery.
10
Once that is done pull the negative connecter off
the battery.
11
The same procedure should be done with the
positive terminal.
12
Once the battery is removed the driver of the
vehicle is now able to focus on different
electrical parts of the vehicle.
13
The owner can then decide if the battery just
needs to be cleaned and then reconnected.
14
Whether the owner of the vehicle decides to
install the now clean battery or to place a new
battery the steps are the opposite order of the
car part removal.
15
This means that to properly install the battery
the owner will connect the positive terminal
first, followed by the negative one.
16
Once that is done screwing the nuts back on is
next.
17
Once that is done you are finished installing the
battery.
18
If the owner of the vehicle decided to replace
the battery or just has numerous car batteries
that need to be removed he or she can take these
extra batteries to any local car parts store in
order to properly recycle the battery.
19
In conclusion, drivers should now have a better
understanding in what is needed to safely remove
a car battery, and install a new or cleaned
battery, and also where they can recycle their
old car batteries.
