Always perform regular maintenance on your car's battery to ensure that you can always depend on it when starting the vehicle, but take safety precautions. Some of the tools and items that should be available include; eye protector such as goggles or face shield, baking soda, petroleum jelly, battery post/ cable cleaner, felt washers treated with red oil, puller and rubber gloves. When working with a battery make sure you turn off the engine and disconnect the negative terminal cable. Batteries produce hydrogen gas which is very explosive and flammable hence avoid sparks in order not to ignite this gas near the battery or charge it in a well ventilated area. The electrolyte in a battery is sulfuric acid an extremely poisonous corrosive substance so wear safety glasses to protect your eyes and avoid any contact with skin/clothing. Inspect for external damage, loose connections or corrosion especially around terminals; remove if corroded then clean the battery. Use a brush with baking soda solution to clean both clamps and terminals of cables before greasing them with petrolatum jelly. Additionally, check if there is any need for cleaning of plastic carrier where batteries are placed after removing them from their original positions. Use treated felt washers around the terminals coated with petroleum jelly or grease before reinstalling clamps (ensure that last one is connected last). Keep in mind however not to overtighten clamps as well as nuts while installing hold-down clamp . While charging batteries take off cell caps if present then cover the holes ,disconnect negative cable properly attach charger correctly . Observe whether hydrometer reading changes during charging; regularly check specific gravity up using hydrometer. For instance some have built-in hydrometers on top indicating by color that they are fully charged while others can be verified through use of digital voltmeter whereby 12.6 volts indicates full charge among other things.

Be safe when maintaining your vehicle's battery. This means that the engine must be turned off and the negative battery terminal disconnected. Always find a well-ventilated place to position yourself because among the other things you will be handling is sulfuric acid in the battery. While doing so, one should put on safety glasses as well as gloves for personal protection. Check for external problems like corrosion or loose connections and clean with a baking soda solution and use a brush designed for batteries. You need to see that your battery tray and clamp are in good condition. Rinse with a baking soda solution to remove the corrosions. After finding any damaged parts, they should be primed and then painted. Do not use high-amperage chargers or rapid boosts; instead employ a slow-rate trickle charger for discharges and maintaining charge.

Carefully lift out the heavy battery, and if available, use a battery strap to make the process easier.

Conduct an open voltage circuit test using a digital voltmeter after removing the battery's surface charge.

If necessary, cover any metal parts damaged by corrosion with a zinc-based primer and paint. Ensure the battery tray is in good condition, and the hold-down clamp fasteners are tight.

Charge the battery before proceeding.

Yes, that is correct
