Getting the best from the Exide EC542

Holiday over, the car has sat at the airport for two weeks and the dashboard barely lights up. Note the radio code before disconnecting anything. Choosing a lower capacity than the original to save a little usually ends with a dead battery once the frosts arrive.

How lead-acid batteries work and how to look after them

Serviceable batteries have caps for checking the acid. Lead-acid suits cars and vans where simplicity and value count. Check acid levels regularly on serviceable batteries.

Five checks for a perfect fit

• ✓ 54Ah sets how long the battery can power things with the engine off.
• ✓ Cranking power on cold mornings: 500A. Big engines in harsh winters call for a generous figure.
• ✓ A different chemistry from lead-acid may need system changes.
