Battery

• An automotive battery is a type of rechargeable
  battery that supplies electric energy to an
  automobile.
• It is charged back by the alternator.

4
Purpose

• A battery supplies power to the starter and
  ignition system to start the engine.
• A battery also supplies the extra power necessary
  when the vehicle's electrical load exceeds the
  supply from the charging system.
• Supplies power to the electrical systems when
  engine is not running.

Battery

• Automotive batteries acts as a voltage stabilizer
  in the electrical system.
• An automotive battery converts chemical energy
  into electrical energy

Battery

• Hot weather shortens battery life more than cold.
• Heat causes battery fluid to evaporate.
• Battery failure happens more in the winter, due
  to cold starts, which puts more strain on the
  battery.

Battery

• SPECIFIC GRAVITYSpecific gravity means exact
  weight.
• A "Hydrometer" or a "Refractometer" compares the
  exact weight of electrolyte with that of water.

Rating

• Battery are rated in both cold cranking amps and
  reserve capacity.
• Cold Cranking Amps is the amount of amperage a
  battery can supply at 0 Degrees while maintaining
  9.6 volts for 30 seconds
• Reserve capacity The amount of time a battery
  can supply 10 volts at 25 amps when not being
  charged  reserve capacity is a battery's ability
  to sustain a minimum vehicle electrical load in
  the event of a charging system failure

12
Service of a Battery.

• Heavy corrosion can cause starting problems.
• Disconnect negative battery terminal
• Use baking soda and water to clean corrosion

13
Charging a battery.

• When charging a battery always connect the
  positive cable first and the negative cable last
• When removing battery cables disconnect the
  Negative cable first and the Positive cable last.
• Reason being, everything metal on the car is
  negative

Battery life

• Usually between 3-5 years, but varies.
• While draining the battery to a zero charge will
  not "kill" it, it will reduce the potential
  battery life every time it is drained.
• When you store your vehicle for long periods of
  time, disconnect the battery at the terminal
  connections.
• if your battery has fluid reservoirs, you must
  keep these filled

16
Battery life

• Over charging of battery, by vehicle charging
  system or battery charger.
• Undercharging of the battery, due to fault or
  stop and go traffic.
