How to Change a Dead Car Battery
Replacing the battery of your car may sound a bit easier, but then it can be a mind scrabbling process if you really do not know how to do it. Once you are completed with it, doing for the first time, you would not face any kind of problem if you need to replace the dead battery of your car for the next time. But, on the other hand, you have to make sure that you perform the replacement of the dead battery of your car very cautiously or you could injure yourself if the current is still running inside the battery.
Before you mistakenly assume that the battery of car has gone dead, it is better that you recharge it. At times it needs to be recharged to come at the operating level again. For this, you may have to charge the battery by connecting its terminals to another battery. On the contrary, if this does not work, try a charger of the battery and should be left to get charged. In case, if this even does not gets the battery working, this is the time when you have to consider that the battery of the car is comprehensively dead. Moreover, time has come for you to get a new battery for your car and that too one which comes with a specified warranty.
When changing the battery of the car comes into the picture, ensure that the bonnet of the car stands upright and is not jerking so that it does not fall upon you and hurt you badly. You may have to go through the manual of the car as well in order to ensure that what kind of grounding mechanism is used inside your car. Thereafter, you have to unscrew the screws that are there on the clamps of battery. This would let you to separate the cables of the terminals from the battery. In case you locate that the system stands to be negative, it then implies that you need to remove the negative terminals first. On the contrary, if the system stands to be positive, you need to remove the positive terminals first.
Besides this, a car is equipped with a battery strap that keeps the battery exactly in its place and prevents any kind of sagging of the battery under the bonnet. Apart from this, you need to place the screws and the bolts very carefully so that when you are fitting a new battery inside the car, they do not get misplaced. Hence if you are completed with extracting out all such components, you would not face slightest of the problem in pulling the battery out. But, since the battery stands be a little heavy you have to exercise care while pulling it out.
Inserting a new battery would be done by following the same procedure. Place it in the exact position and fasten it with the strap so that it does not sag. Connect the terminals watching the positives and the negatives and ensure that you check it by starting the car.
