4. Never put any part of your body over a battery when charging, testing or jump-starting the engine
(You know which body parts you treasure most, but you probably want to keep them all.) As previously mentioned, batteries have been known to explode, caus

New Battery Technology makes lithium-ion batteries last 20 years Japanese Eamex researchers have discovered a technique that could dramatically extend the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries. The new approach keeps the tin inside the battery intact for much longer despite the strain caused by charging and recharging. By absorbing much of the stress through a new alloy in the tin-coated resin, the tin and the electrode structure are more stable and could last for as long as 20 years.
The figure is based on an assumption of about 10,000 complete recharges, or
Car battery protection and installation tips (part 2) Size matters: Batteries come in many sizes. Determine yours when replacing it as you want the same size as the one your vehicle came with. Bigger is not better.
