Car Battery and Auto Battery FAQs

At Battery Giant, we want our customers to be happy with their car battery purchase. We achieve this by providing our customers with all the information they need regarding automotive batteries and car batteries. Below are basic car battery and auto battery FAQs to help answer any of your general questions.

Q: How does a car battery or an automotive battery work?
A: A car battery or an automotive battery works similar to other common batteries. Car batteries store energy in a chemical form that can be released on demand as electricity. Each car battery or auto battery cell consists of positive plates, negative plates and an electrolyte solution. Car batteries produce electricity because of the chemical reaction between these elements.

Q: What should I consider when purchasing a replacement car battery or replacement auto battery?
A: There are three important factors to consider when buying replacement car batteries or replacement auto batteries. While shopping for a replacement car battery, it is critical to consider size, power and warranty. Although it is recommended to consult the automobile manufacturer's recommendations in attaining the correct replacement car battery or replacement auto battery, below are some general factors to consider while selecting a replacement car battery.

Make sure the replacement auto battery or replacement car battery will fit and work correctly. Check the specifications of the existing automotive battery, as well as the physical dimensions of automotive battery. The auto battery specs will provide the information you need to target applicable auto batteries. Two critical specs you need when shopping for a replacement auto battery or replacement car battery is voltage (or power) and size dimensions. This will allow you match the correct automotive battery with that of your vehicle. Next, you need to consider the auto battery or car battery warranty period. We recommend choosing replacement car batteries with a warranty period that best fits your needs.

Q: What causes replacement automotive batteries for cars to fail?

A: There are several factors that contribute to the failure of replacement automotive batteries for cars. Excessive heat causes corrosion, which can dry out the replacement car battery cell. This is probably the number one reason for replacement car battery and auto battery failure. Extreme cold weather can sometimes put a heavier drain on replacement car batteries as well as most automotive batteries. This is also a common contributor to replacement car battery and auto battery failure.

Also, if a car battery is not securely held down, vibrations can shed the active material from the car battery plate grids. This will cause depreciation in a typical car battery or automotive battery. Overcharging a car battery may cause overheating. Although typically a prolonged process, overcharging auto batteries can eventually cause an auto battery or a car battery to depreciate. Other possible factors that can cause a car battery or auto battery to fail include corroded terminals, sulfation due to inactivity, or electrical shorts in the automotive battery itself. These are just some of the common causes of car battery and auto battery failure. Car batteries can vary in composition, which can influence how a car battery depreciates.

Q: What is the best way to store a replacement car battery or replacement auto battery during the off season?
A: Before storing a replacement car battery or replacement auto battery, make sure it is fully charged. Remember that fully charged car batteries will usually not freeze, but a discharged replacement car battery or auto battery can freeze. Test your replacement car battery and charge the car battery if necessary. It also might be wise to purchase an automotive battery maintainer. After a full car battery charge and test, now you are ready for replacement car battery storage. It is important to store a replacement car battery or a replacement auto battery in a cool, dry and well ventilated area out of the reach of children or pets. Check the charge level of a replacement car battery or replacement auto battery every 30-45 days. A trickle charge using an automotive battery maintainer or low amperage charge overnight might be necessary for some replacement car batteries depending on their age and composition. Also a good replacement car battery storage precaution is to check the fluid level inside the car battery. If the fluid level is low inside the replacement car battery or replacement auto battery, add distilled water.

Q: How do you properly charge a car battery or automotive battery?
A: Proper charging of a car battery or an automotive battery is important. While the automotive battery charger or automotive battery maintainer is still unplugged, connect the leads to the proper (+)(-) terminals. Wiggle the car battery connectors to ensure a good connection. Adjust the settings on the auto battery charger for correct voltage and amperage. Now you can plug in the automotive battery charger and turn it on. While charging car batteries in a well-ventilated area, periodically check on the car battery for any obvious signs of charging malfunctions. Make sure that while charging car batteries or auto batteries that there are no signs of overheating. If the replacement car battery is too hot to touch or if the replacement car battery is gassing profusely, turn the automotive battery charger off immediately. Once the car battery is fully charged, turn the charger off, unplug it from the wall and unhook the auto battery charging cables. Always use caution when charging car batteries and auto batteries.

Q: What can I do to help preserve the life of a car battery or an auto battery?
A: Follow these guidelines every 3-6 months to help extend the life of a car battery or an auto battery.

Check the car battery for cleanliness - If the car battery tray is dirty or corroded, first remove the car battery cables, followed by the car battery unit. Wash the car battery tray with a water and baking soda solution. Flush the car battery tray with water and thoroughly dry it off. If necessary, further clean the car battery or auto battery with a brush or a special terminal cleaning tool. It is also safe to wash most car batteries and auto batteries with the baking soda and water solution. Be sure that the car battery or auto battery vent caps are on tight (if the car battery is not sealed) to prevent anything from entering into the automotive battery cells. Clean car batteries, in a clean tray, will ensure the best connection.
Check the auto battery hold down brackets - Make sure the brackets holding the auto battery to the frame are secure. Excessive vibration may cause premature failure in automotive batteries. If the automotive battery brackets are loose, tighten them and spray them with a corrosion preventative spray. This will keep the corrosion on auto batteries from rebuilding.
Check the car battery case - The condition of the car battery case can indicate if you have a problem. If the car battery case is swollen on the sides (concave) there is probably a charging system problem. If the car battery case is cracked, the car battery should be replaced. These car battery problems are non repairable. In these incidences, it is recommended to replace the car battery or auto battery immediately.
Check fluid levels within the car battery or automotive battery - Remove the vent caps and check on the fluid level inside the car battery or automotive battery. If you see fluid, the car battery is most likely fine. While looking in the cell of a car battery, if you see an exposed lead plate, distilled water should be added. Be careful not to overfill the car battery or automotive battery cells. As with most auto batteries, the fluid level in a car battery or automotive battery should stop approximately 1" under the top of the car battery caps.
