If the terminals are severely cor-
roded, clean them with baking soda
and water. Then use a wrench to
loosen and remove the cables from
the terminals. Always disconnect the
negative (

) cable first and recon-

nect it last. Clean the battery termi-
nals with a terminal cleaning tool or
wire brush. Reconnect and tighten
the cables, then coat the terminals
with grease.

If you need to connect the battery to
a charger, disconnect both cables to
prevent damage to the car’s
electrical system.

The battery gives off explosive

hydrogen gas during normal

operation.

A spark or flame can cause the

battery to explode with enough

force to kill or seriously hurt you.

Wear protective clothing and a

face shield, or have a skilled

mechanic do the battery

maintenance.
