If the car covers a small annual mileage, it is recommended to check the specific gravity of the electrolyte every three months using a hydrometer. A variation of 0.040 or more between any cells indicates a loss of electrolyte or deterioration of the internal plates. For maintenance-free Car Batteries, a battery condition indicator or voltmeter should be used. If the voltage reading is less than 12.0 volts, the battery is discharged and should be charged. Charging should be done at a rate of 3.5 to 4 amps or using a trickle charger at 1.5 amps. Rapid 'boost' charges are not recommended. Maintenance-free batteries take longer to recharge and require a constant voltage type charger. If the battery is fully discharged, it should be recharged by a professional.

If you notice corrosion on the battery, especially around the terminals, you should remove the battery for cleaning.

You should check for any damage or loose connections.

It is recommended to wait at least 90 seconds after turning off the ignition switch before disconnecting the negative battery cable.

Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal followed by the cable from the positive terminal.

Place the battery on a workbench and inspect the tray, retainer brackets, and related fasteners for corrosion or damage.

To remove the battery, you need to loosen the clamp nut and detach the earth lead from the battery negative terminal post. Then, pivot up the plastic cover from the positive terminal and loosen the positive lead clamp nut. Finally, undo the two nuts securing the battery top clamp bar and lift it off, taking care as it may also secure the accelerator cable support bracket. Lift out the battery, keeping it level.
