Summer Battery Maintenance Tips You Shouldn’t Ignore

  1. Check Water Levels

    The first method to ensure better battery maintenance is to regularly check electrolyte levels in lead-acid batteries, and top up
    with only distilled water to prevent internal damage and maintain performance.

  2. Keep It Clean & Dry

    Wipe off dust and moisture from battery terminals and surfaces to prevent corrosion, heat retention, and electrical leakage.

  3. Ensure Ventilation

    Always place the battery in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating, especially during hot summer months.

  4. Avoid Overcharging

    Too much charging can cause overheating and shorten battery life—use a smart charger with auto cut-off to stay safe.

  5. Watch for Damage

    Look out for signs like swelling, cracks, or leaks—these mean your battery is at risk and should be repaired or replaced.

  6. Do Regular Load Tests

    Monitor your battery’s backup time; if it drops, it may be underperforming and could soon fail without maintenance.
