During visual inspection the following is determined.
- Is the battery case damaged?. Any vehicle parts that have come into contact with leaking acid must be immediately treated with any alkaline solution.
- Are the battery terminals damaged?. This may result in significant disruptions in the operation of the electrical system.
- You should also check the terminals for signs of oxidation of the contact surfaces and for the absence of organic contaminants (oil, etc.) on the surface of the terminals and on the battery case.
Caution: To prevent accidental short circuits caused by unwanted accidental tool contacts when working in the engine compartment, always remove the negative battery terminal first.
- To prevent damage to the battery case, its terminals should be placed on the terminals only by hand, i.e. without using force.
