    How to Take Care of Automotive Batteries

    Go to the auto parts store(www.drill-battery.com.au), and acquire some battery terminal goo, the stuff that prevents corrosion. Usually comes with a new battery. Better yet, you can purchase some battery corrosion prevention spray. It does the same thing and is easier to apply.

    Remove any rubber or plastic covers off of the battery terminals. Not the posts on top, but the terminals on the side that the cables bolt on to.

    Do you see any blue or white powder/corrosion forming anywhere? If no, put the covers back on and crack open a beer, you're done.

    If yes, you see corrosion, then you've got work to do. Remove both battery terminals with a socket wrench. Make sure you remove the NEGATIVE (black) cable first. Please watch what you're doing here. Don't short circuit the red terminal to any metal part of the engine or your going to be sorry. Just be cool when you ratchet the wrench back and forth.
