How to maintain the car battery

Battery plays an important role in the automobile use process, if it can not supply normal, car will not start running, while the car's power consumption in winter than in other seasons is much greater, and the battery is also afraid of low temperature, low temperature battery electrical capacitance is much lower than the normal temperature. So after entering the winter, special care for the battery is quite necessary, the battery life of about two years, if you use OBD Diagnostic Tool to check and timely care can prolong life.

First, external battery with a damp cloth to wipe it again, the panel, on the stigma (ie, both positive and negative poles) of dirt, oil, white powder and so easy to wipe clean the dirt caused by leakage and apply special grease to protect trailer coupling, to prevent corrosion.

The second step is to check the battery electrolyte leakage or deformation phenomenon. Some models are equipped with all maintenance-free battery, relevant or labels, do not disassemble the battery for this, if there is leakage, deformation of the phenomenon, it is best to go to the pits to solve. Maintenance-free battery life of about two years, expired on the use of Launch X431 Diagun III tool to check the battery voltage load voltage and starting performance, promptly replace if necessary.

The third step, if the car is parked in the open air or cold a few weeks do not, you should remove the batteries, stored in a warmer room, to prevent freezing damage to the rear battery self-discharge. When the ambient temperature is below minus 10 degrees, fully discharged battery will freeze, you must thaw the frozen processed before charging the battery, or directly charging may cause an explosion. If this happens, it is best to use a professional car repair small current slow charging stations.

So, in fact, battery maintenance is not difficult, you can try to use the owner Launch X431 GDS and Autel MaxiSys MS908 diagnostic tools, car to do maintenance on a regular basis, to extend its working life.
