Don’t let a vehicle battery problem stall out your warm-weather fun. Before hitting the road for a summer trip, make sure your battery won’t let you down.
Have a trained technician perform a charging test to make sure your battery is operating correctly. The average life of a car battery is only three to five years, so if your battery is more than three years old, it’s especially important to have it checked. At the same time, the technician should perform preventive maintenance such as:
1. Inspecting the battery case, brackets and tray for corrosion. These deposits should be removed, as they interfere with the flow of electric current.
2. Inspecting brackets to make sure they
secure the battery adequately. Loose brackets will allow the battery to vibrate, shortening its
life and possibly damaging other components.
3. Tightening loose battery cables.
