Ford Excursion 2001 - Battery Terminal Cleaning and Preventative Maintenance
Friday, June 05, 2009
While I was under the hood with the battery cables off for the glow plug repair, I cleaned up the terminals and did a little preventative work to keep them working properly.
Batteries oftentimes corrode because of electricity passing through dissimilar metals or the acid working its way up to the terminal, the clamp and the copper wire connection.
The best way to prevent this is to loosen the terminal clamp and clean the terminal, the clamp and any exposed copper wire with a metal brush. After tightening the clamp, coat all the exposed metal with silicone or petroleum jelly. Check it every 6 months or so and keep the clamps tight and clean. A loose cable can stop you dead in the road on a nice trip to your favorite vacation spot.
