For every vehicle on the road, the car battery is the most important component. If the car battery has any malfunctions whatsoever, then you will not be able to start your car. Most car owners will be facing problems sooner or later because vehicle lead acid battery has a limited lifespan.

If you have a regular battery maintenance schedule for the health of your car battery, then you can have a smooth start each and every time you want to use your automobile.

Here are some tips you can use to take care of your vehicle battery to get it working properly. When you parked your car, you should avoid keeping car headlights and other lights on for a long period of time. This will definitely drain your battery.

When the air conditioning unit in your vehicle is not required, it is best to switch it off to conserve power. If your vehicle is using a weak battery, try restraining from unnecessary honking. All these electronic components in your car will be draining on your battery bank thus sending its charge level into a low state. When a lead acid battery is discharged to a very low level, it is almost impossible to bring it back to its maximum power efficiency.

Here's a simple battery checking step you can do on a weekly basis. Check on the battery to make sure that there is no corrosion or rusting on the battery terminals. Rusting or foreign residue accumulated will cause the problems of difficult start ups because there will be a loss of surface contact between the electrical cable connectors with the battery terminals.

To prevent residue from building up, you can use a battery corrosion glue and spray it on the battery terminals. This is usually the root cause for all car ignition problems. If you find any bluish green or white powdery layers forming around the battery terminals, then you have to take necessary steps to remove it or it will cause some additional problems.
