Routine maintenance checks on your battery are important, so that you don't find yourself somewhere with a vehicle that won't start because it has a dead battery.  Know the signs of a worn battery before you find yourself in need of a jump start. There are signs your battery may be worn or damaged, and AutoFair will be glad to do a battery check to make sure your battery is in top shape. Various signs of battery wear that indicate the need for a checkup at AutoFair include visible corrosion around the terminals or posts, frays or cuts in the battery cables, damage on the terminals or posts, bulging or deformity in the battery casing, loose battery cables or terminals, and of course, difficulty getting your engine to start.

Corrosion at the battery terminals can prevent a car from starting, by adding electrical resistance. The corrosion is caused by an imperfect seal between the plastic battery case and lead battery post allowing sulfuric acid to attack the battery posts. The corrosion process is also expedited by over-charging. Corrosion can also be caused by factors such as, salt water, dirt, heat, and humidity in the air, a crack in the battery casing, or loose battery terminals. Inspection, cleaning, and protection with a coating are measures used to prevent corrosion of battery terminals.

Sulfation occurs when a battery is not fully charged, and the longer it remains in a discharged state the harder it is to overcome the sulfation. This may be overcome with slow, low-current (trickle) charging. Sulfation is due to formation of large, non-conductive lead sulfate crystals on the plates; lead sulfate formation is part of each cycle, but in the discharged condition the crystals become large and block passage of current through the electrolyte.

The primary wear-out mechanism is the shedding of active material from the battery plates, which accumulates at the bottom of the cells and which may eventually short-circuit the plates.
