Think about it: you could have the rest of the car in perfect condition, but if the battery won't fire up your ride, you're out of luck.
You can eliminate many battery problems by making certain that the connections are tight and everything is clean without any corrosion buildup.If your battery still needs servicing (most modern batteries no longer need servicing) check the fluid level - but be sure to check it when the battery is fully charged.
Especially in warmer weather, overfilling can start the corrosion process sooner which will eventually cause starting problems.One of the neat tricks you can use to help prevent corrosion build-up is to place some silicone sealer at the base of the post and then coat the post itself and the cable with some extra grease or Vaseline.
This will help prevent outgassing from the battery onto the cable connection which triggers corrosion.Enhancing Battery Performance and Extending Battery LifeThe modern automobile, truck, or SUV demands more power than ever before.
The demand for batteries is such that fewer than one-third will still be in use after four years.One of the leading causes of battery failure can be attributed to sulfation eighty percent of the time.
Here's the chain of events: as the battery is being used, sulfur molecules are discharged from the battery acid.
