Your car’s battery supplies power to start the car up, and as you drive, your alternator will restore its charge! Still, there will inevitably come a time where you need to take the battery out. Whether you’ve had to jump-start your car one too many times, or you’re worried about leaking battery acid, you can take the next steps with confidence at home in Edgewater. Here’s how to remove a car battery the smart way!
The shock from a car battery can kill you, so it is a must that you wear insulated work gloves. Not only that, the fluids from car batteries are corrosive, so safety goggles are also a good idea. Turn your car off as well, because running vehicles can cause a fire while you’re working with your car battery.
Take off jewelry such as necklaces and watches to prevent an accidental shock from metal parts of the battery. Get some sort of tie, such as a zip tie, to keep the battery cables in their proper place. After that, cover the positive end with a cloth once you take it off to reduce the chance of metal-to-metal contact. You should also ensure that you’re in a well-ventilated area to reduce the chance of exposure to harmful gases.
