Automotive Battery: They are not all created equally

There are simple things in your car that can cause complicated repairs.  The battery is one of them.   The first thing to remember is that not replacing the battery until it won’t start the car can be a mistake.  The second thing is that replacing it with an inexpensive battery can cost you considerably more than you saved. 
In summary, batteries can start to seep battery acid around the terminals or around the top of the battery.  This battery acid is then wicked up the battery cables.  The battery acid corrodes and will increase electrical resistance in the cables that come in contact with the acid.  With late model vehicles, even the smallest increase in resistance can create havoc in your computer systems and the way your vehicle runs.  Once this havoc surfaces, you will likely not only need to replace the battery but the cables or wiring harness that has suffered damage.

    1. Thanks for the information. I have checked my car's battery and found the hard way that rechargeable AA batteries are no longer created equals. I say "no longer" because they used to be created equal. I'm not talking about the capacity which has always varied, but rather the voltage output. Round Rock Towing

  5. Car batteries requires maintenance just like any other parts. It needs outside cleaning and proper charging. Today, batteries don't require refilling with electrolyte as they are already built in with that liquid.
