Practical advice for cars and vans

A second car that only comes out at weekends tends to have a tired battery by the end of winter. Fit the plastic terminal covers back after tightening the clamps. Forgetting to tighten the hold-down lets the battery rattle loose.

Care tips for lead-acid batteries

Each cell in a flooded battery produces about two volts. A wet-cell battery copes well with high engine-bay temperatures. Pour in only distilled water, and only once the charge has finished.

Check before ordering

• ✓ Built with lead-acid technology: if your vehicle or system was set up for another chemistry, check the charging settings first.
• ✓ Will it fit? The Exide EC605 measures 270 × 173 × 222 mm, so compare length first, then width, then height with the lid or bonnet closed.
• ✓ Plus pole position: positive on the left-hand side. Mixing up orientation is the most common reason a battery of the right size will not connect.
