  Q: What tools and steps are needed for Car Batteries maintenance to avoid being stranded on Hyundai Accent?

  A: Battery maintenance is very important to avoid finding oneself stranded because of a battery that can no longer operate. The necessary tools for this procedure include a face shield or protective goggles, rubber gloves, a battery, treated felt washers, baking soda and petroleum jelly. Always turn off the engine as well as all accessories when inspecting or servicing it. On these vehicles, there is a sealed, maintenance-free battery which does not require checks on electrolyte levels or addition of water. Periodically check the condition of the external side of the battery in case it has any damage like a cracked case. Check tightness of battery cable bolts to ensure good electrical connections and look at each cable for broken or worn-out insulation and frayed conductors. If one sees corrosion around the terminals, he should remove the cables from them first; then clean them with use of a terminal brush before reinstallation. Apply some petroleum jelly or grease on the terminals to reduce corrosion problems. Ensure that your battery carrier is in perfect condition and hold down clamp is tight enough. When reinstalling it after removing a battery be sure nothing falls into its bottom part and never over tighten nuts while reinstalling hold-down clamps. To remove corrosion from carrier, batter case and surrounding areas use solution made by mixing water with baking soda together with applying it with small brush that works before rinsing it off using plenty of clean water. Any metal parts such as those damaged by rust on vehicle should first be coated with zinc based primer then painted.

  Q: How crucial are car batteries in a routine preventive maintenance program for ensuring quick and reliable starts on your Hyundai Sonata?

  A: To ensure that your vehicle battery starts quickly and reliably, a routine preventive maintenance program is essential. Before doing any repairs it's necessary to have the right equipment for your safety when working around the battery such as: face shield or safety goggles, baking soda, petroleum jelly, battery post/cable cleaner, treated felt washers, puller and rubber gloves. Safety measures should be taken while servicing the battery like turning off the engine and all accessories and disconnecting the cable from its negative terminal. Always remember that hydrogen gas emitted by the battery is flammable and explosive so never cause sparks or light matches near it moreover charge battery in a well-ventilated location. Also note that there is poisonous corrosive sulfuric acid in electrolyte; thus always remember to put on protective safety glasses when working near a battery. Look for any damage or loose connections outside of the Battery and clean up any corrosion using baking soda solution with water also you can use a terminal cleaner to scrub with a battery brush. Make sure that the tray under the battery is in good condition and that hold-down clamp bolts are tightened properly. Any corroded metal parts should be coated with a zinc-based primer followed by painting them. While charging it is better to remove batteries from vehicles so as not to spoil car paint due to escaping gases. For recharging discharged batteries or maintaining their charges slow-rate charging using one-or two-ampere charger is recommended .This will help avoid high amperage chargers or quick boost charges which may strain or damage your batteries.The time required for an average charge should be determined by instructions accompanying charger used .When being charged at rates exceeding two amperes check regularly for heating up of the batter y After last few hours of each charging cycle if cell caps are removable measure specific gravity hourly through hydrometer Sealed top batteries either contain built-in hydrometers or have to be tested by volt meters where 12-point-6 volts or higher represent a fully charged accumulator.

  Q: How to maintain your car batteries for a Hyundai Santa Fe?

  A: To ensure that your vehicle's battery starts quickly and reliably, one must have a routine PM plan in place. Before you do any battery maintenance, ensure that you have the right safety equipment. In performing battery maintenance there are some precautions to take- this would involve switching off the engine as well as all other accessories and disconnecting the negative cable of the battery. Consequently, avoid causes for sparking such as smoking close by or matches when near it and charge it in a well ventilated area since the battery emits highly flammable and explosive hydrogen gas. It is important to remember that electrolyte used in batteries contains corrosive sulphuric acid which can cause serious burns on contact with skin, eyes or clothing or if swallowed. Take necessary safety measures such as wearing protective glasses gloves and old clothes especially when cleaning cable clamps. Inspect the outside of the battery looking for corrosion, loose terminal connections, cracks or damaged rubber boots. In case there is any corrosion present remove the battery; clean the terminals: cable clamps and top of the battery using a baking soda solution and also use a terminal cleaner if necessary. Make sure that your battery tray is in good condition and clamp down bolt tightened accurately. If removed check if any part remains on tray before anything else goes wrong. Cover corroded metal parts with zinc-based primer then apply paint on them .For batteries that are discharged completely or those used at low rates slow-rate charging is recommended mostly in winter periods .Use one or two ampere (A) charger for better results because these chargers are safe on batteries .Using chargers rated above 1/10th of the batteries amp/hour rating should be avoided Remove cell caps where available cover holes with a cloth ,disconnect negative cables attach charger clamps to satheame posts connecting positive to positive &negative to negative also 12 volts for applicable charges.For high amperage chargers monitor overheating of battery's. Following usual checks, a trickle charge can be used overnight. If there are removable cell caps on the battery, specific gravity can be measured with a hydrometer for the last few hours of charging ,which is considered charged when the readings of specific gravity stabilize and electrolyte gasses start to emit. Check if your batteries have built-in hydrometers that indicate their charge status through color or use a voltmeter; fully charged ones should read 12.6 volts or higher after bringing into equilibrium by removing surface charges.
