If your battery dies during your drive through Sidney, MT, you can recharge it if you have a battery charger. Here's what you should do.
- Turn off all electronics in your vehicle and remove the battery if necessary.
- Remove the battery cables. Start with the negative cable, which is almost always black with a "-" sign on it. When you remove the positive cable, keep it away from the negative cable.
- Clean the battery terminals with a terminal cleaning brush and a cleaning solution. You can use a commercial solution or make some yourself with baking soda and water.
- Make sure that your battery charger is powered off, and connect it to your battery. Always start by connecting the positive cable to the positive terminal first, then connect the negative cable.
- Turn on your charger and wait for your battery to charge. If you're not sure how long it takes to charge your batter, check your owner's manual or consult us at Action Auto. Otherwise, start with the lowest charging rate to stay on the safe side.
