2. I PUT VASELINE AROUND THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS and my battery lasted 6 years. I dont really drive that particular car much either. I'd say vaseline is all you need. That particular battery usually only lasts 3 years. Life is simple but ppl insist on complicating everything.

3. Hello Sir, my 2010 Subaru Forester battery gets low all the time. Firstly, the engine light, blinking cruise light, and traction light were on, then showed it to a mechanic, he got these codes on OBD P0851 and P0335 he changed the new neutral switch, but the lights came back on in a day or two. Then I checked myself for the P0335 crankshaft sensor, it is working. I drive the car very little; my car battery keeps getting discharged around 10 on the multimeter, then when I drive the car a little, it goes to 12.7 and when the car is started it shows me 14.4. Plus, when my battery is charged properly around 12.7 those lights go off, when it starts going down, these lights come back. Plus, I checked for the drain, and the reading showed me on the negative terminal -0.13 so is something taking the battery power, or the battery is not good? Please guide. Thanks, a lot.

4. Well, it's about time you didn't red line your engine. 5 K is even taking it pretty high. Try to keep it under 3k to prolong your engine's life.

5. Great tips 👍🏽

6. Question if you take the battery out of the car how do you save all the stored memory in the computer??

7. $140.00 I wish. Here in UK my battery was $250.00 for AGM

8. Kilmer.Your are a legend!!

9. Another tip is get rid of the STEEL HOLD DOWN BRACKET. I will conduct discharge from post to post over time, shortening battery life. Replace it with heavy plastic or wood.

10. You should of used these tricks on your electric bike !

11. I put insulation my 1000 CCA battery, it lasted 7 years, the heat & cold wears them out. I notice all asian cars get corrosion on the terminals, could it be the steel terminals?

12. What about distilled water in freezing temperatures?

13. And don't trust the local auto parts store, I had trouble starting and I went to Autozone and they said my battery was good but my alternator was sketchy. Luckily my Ram was still under warranty and the dealership said it was the battery and replaced it and that solved the issue!

14. It's 2023. The battery for my ram 1500 was $250.

    So how do you clean and spray the bottom and inside?
    Guess it doesnt really matter as long as the top looks good.

16. My pet peeve is batteries that don't have a lifting handle. On my car they are extremely difficult to remove because the battery has to be lifted straight up and there is no room to insert a hand or fingers.

17. Scotty reminds me of my Dad. Tie his hands and he couldn't say a word. 😅

18. Makesure you get theright trickler charger: some just keep charging, and it boils your battery dry.

19. For long lasting batteries, NOTHING BEATS AGM batteries! AGM stands for absorbent glass mat; instead of a liquid electrolyte, it's a gel. You can let them sit for weeks, and your bike will still start up. I've only used them in bikes, not my cars yet. But yeah, AGM batteries hold their charge very well.

20. Great guy,…gives very helpful information that even an experienced mechanic can learn from.

21. Dude! Your awesome! Thanks for every tip ive learned from ya!
