Apply terminal grease or petroleum jelly to battery terminals to prevent rust and corrosion. This ensures uninterrupted power flow and helps extend battery life during wet conditions.
Check all clamps and cable connections for tightness and apply insulation where needed. Moisture can seep into loose points, increasing the risk of short circuits or voltage drops.
Avoid driving through deep or waterlogged areas, as splashes can reach the battery bay. Prolonged exposure to water may damage critical components and reduce battery efficiency.
After driving through rain or washing the car, wipe off any moisture around the battery and engine bay. Keeping the area dry helps maintain battery performance and prevents electrical faults.
During the monsoon, monitor your battery’s voltage and charge levels more frequently. Low charge may not always show clear symptoms but can lead to sudden failure when least expected.
Pro Tip:
Schedule a professional battery check-up at the start of the monsoon season. Early maintenance can help avoid mid-journey breakdowns and keep your vehicle running smoothly.
