Research has shown that charging a battery below 80 percent of its total capacity results in shortened battery and truck component life.

1. Charge Right for Truck Life

2. Research has shown that charging a battery
below 80 percent of its total capacity results in
shortened battery and truck component life. If
you want to keep your battery powerful and
your truck on the road, here are some tips for
a proper charge routine.
1. A trickle charger is best. It consists of a
power cord, a transformer and two alligator
clips. It delivers slow and steady power from
an outlet. Nix thoughts of a rapid charge.
Batteries do better with slow going.

3. 2. Clean terminals are a must. But be
careful if you see any white powder on them.
That’s sulfuric acid residue. Protect your
hands with gloves, put baking soda on a wet
cloth and wipe down the terminals, or use a
sandpaper pad.
3. Cell caps off!Caps seal the battery cells
during normal truck operation. However, when
charging occurs, the chemical process
generates gas, which if unvented, can cause
the battery to crack or explode.

4. 4. Be careful with jumper attachment.
Always remember, red wire goes to the
positive terminal (POS) and the other to the
negative (NEG). Never should the wires touch.
That would cause a spark, bad news if free
battery hydrogen is present.
