Is there any convenient car problem? Well. Nobody
would say that. Every time you encounter one
problem, the other seems less troublesome thats
it! Take the example of your car battery. When it
conks off, you get frustrated. But that doesnt
resolve the problem. If the problem has happened
for the first time, then you may give the battery
a chance. If it occurs again, then it is the time
to change your car battery in Adelaide.

Testing The Car Battery
First, you need to get the right tools.

• You need a multimeter to check the battery
  voltage. You can buy it from the local market
  effortlessly. An analog device is cheap
  conventional, but you can go for a digital
  model.
• Locate the battery. Where it is placed, depends
  on the make and model of your car. In some cars,
  it is visible and conveniently located. In some
  cars, it is tucked under a plastic cover.

• Once you find it, turn off the vehicle. Check
  the voltage of the battery using a multimeter.
  Set it to DC voltage. Put the black lead on the
  negative terminal and red on the positive one.
  Read the voltage. Usually, a reading of 12.66 or
  more indicates full charging and anything below
  12.05 indicates the battery is not charged at
  all. These are ballpark figures. You must check
  the battery manual or vehicle manual.
• If the reading is more than 12.45 volts, then
  you can rely on it. If it is below that, then you
  must charge the battery and monitor its voltage
  intermittently.

Charging The Car Battery
Dont think that charging a car battery is just a
matter of hooking it to a charger. It is a
complex task that requires specialization and
practice. You must know the ins outs of it. You
must know which terminal to remove first which
one to be hooked up on the charger. How long
should it be hooked to the charger depends on
various things.

Jumping A Battery
Switch off everything in your car. Remove the
negative or grounded cable first (the black one).
Now remove the positive or power cable (the red
one). check the terminals. They should be clean
and without any deposit. Now bring the charge.
Keep it in the off position. Now connect the
positive cable to the positive terminal and the
negative cable to the negative terminal. Set the
timer, appropriate charging voltage, and start
charging. It will take up to twelve hours to
charge it fully.
