The main electricity reserve in the vehicle is found in the Battery. This component works to meet all electrical needs in the car. If the Battery does not function optimally, it will hinder the car user and cause the engine not to start. Therefore, here are the correct ways to install a car battery when problems occur. 

1. Remove the Old Battery First

Replacing the battery to work as it should must go through several stages. The first step you need to take is to remove the old battery. 

For safety, it is best to disconnect the cables, the clamp on the negative terminal, and the bolts first. After that, continue by removing the positive terminal on the battery. It is important to remember that the disconnection should start with the negative terminal first. 

This is because if you remove the positive cable first and accidentally drop a tool on that part, it can pose a danger. One of the things that can happen is an unwanted electrical short circuit. 

Meanwhile, if you prioritize removing the negative terminal on the battery component, the electrical flow in the vehicle will be immediately cut off. Once all cables and clamps are disconnected, you should lift the battery upright so that the liquid inside the battery does not spill.
