Most batteries in modern cars are maintenance free. This means that under normal operating conditions you do not need to top it up with battery water. Even so, taking care of your battery is essential – especially if you want to get the most out of it.
Here’s how:
• Perhaps the battery is not maintenance free, in which case use only approved battery water for topping up in the event of water loss – do not overfill.
• Keep the battery clean and dry to prevent corrosion and ensure the battery can deliver maximum power. Zip along to your nearest Battery Centre for free expert assistance.
• Loose connections result in loss of power, so keep the terminal posts and cable connections clean and tight.
• When jump-starting a vehicle, always follow the specific battery manufacturer’s guidelines and check that the clamps are correctly tightened to the battery terminals.
• If you don’t use your car for prolonged periods, prevent the battery from self-discharge by connecting the battery to a battery charger.
• At least once a quarter, get the battery tested for free at your nearest Battery Centre.
