Hello everyone!
The weather was as cold as ice I woke up this morning to the extent i was having goosebumps all over my body.
I decided to assist to drive my mum to the market as to get some foodstuffs for the house.
As i attempted to start the engine of our pathfinder jeep 2003 model, i got to observe the battery was flat due to the fact that it’s been a while the Vehicle left the house and needed some more charge to enable the engine to start and run.
So therefore, i had to borrow the battery of the other car (Toyota Corolla 2002 model). Here it is below
I had to borrow the battery just to start and run the engine for the pathfinder jeep and returned it back while the engine was still running because once the engine is running and you fix in a flat battery, it charges the battery.
(1) was the flat battery that needed some charge to start the engine
(2) was the charged battery which i borrowed to start and run the pathfinder engine.
So all this was how i made the battery come back to life.
For some who don't who have difficulties in changing a battery or have no idea on how the replacement of a battery is done, with this post i can guarantee you of any vehicle battery replacement. The processes of replacing a battery are as follows;
For removing the flat battery
- Remove the negative cable from the negative terminal(the one with the minus sign).
- Remove the positive cable from the positive terminal(the one with the plus sign).
If you are using a tool like a wrench, make sure the metal doesn’t contact the terminal as it will spark.
Loosen the battery hold-down, connectors and fasteners that holds the battery in place.
Lift the battery out. Put the battery to the side in a safe spot.
For Adding the charged battery
- Clean the clamps and battery terminals from any corrosion/dirt. You can make use of a brush and some water with baking soda.
- Put the battery into the holder to hold-down the battery.
- Reconnect the positive terminal.
- Reconnect the negative terminal.
Hope this post reaches you well and helps a lot.
Thanks for your time and have a lovely day ahead. 🤗
