Battery Care

Your battery is the heart of your vehicle, which is why you must take adequate care of your battery to prolong its life, as well as the performance of your vehicle. How can you do that? Just follow our battery maintenance tips below:

Battery Handling

Be extremely careful while handling battery acid. If electrolyte is spilled on clothing or skin, wash with plain water and neutralise with a solution of baking soda and water. Electrolyte splashed into eyes can cause serious damage. In the event of such an accident, splash affected eye with clean and cold water for at least 5 minutes. Take medical advice.

Battery Recycling

Don’t let your used battery fall into the wrong hands

Lead, a major component in all batteries, if not handled with care after use, can become hazardous and seriously harm the environment and the people around. When smelted in open furnaces, by unauthorised smelters, scrap lead particles escape into the air. Unchecked, they infect workers, permeate the soil and contaminate groundwater, pollute all organic life: vegetation, fish, meat, poultry, livestock and human beings in the process.

How To Jump Start Your Vehicle

Turn off all electrical loads, check vehicles – no part should be touching each other and gear should be in neutral position.

Ensure that vehicle battery and battery for jump-starting have the same declared voltage (say 12V).

Vehicles should have the same terminal earthed. If not, refer to manufacturers’ instructions. Make sure that cables are not frayed or damaged.
