2002 Ford Ranger Car Batteries Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What Safety Precautions Should Be Taken When Servicing Car Batteries on 2002 Ford Ranger?

  A: Proper care during battery service requires certain safety steps due to explosive gas emissions which might result in personal injuries thus avoid all types of flames and sparks near the battery alongside wearing protective eye gear and face shields and ensuring good ventilation. Front or side air bag component repairs or installations need the back up power supply to become empty when the battery ground cable gets disconnected for at least one minute along with any auxiliary battery and power supply disconnection if present to stop accidental deployment and avoid possible injury. Sulfuric acid inside batteries requires you to maintain safe usage distances from children and prevent skin or eye contact while always using protective eyewear for battery area work and avoiding clothing contact with battery acid. When acid touches your body you should flush the site with water continuously for 15 minutes then get medical help immediately. Swallowing acid needs an urgent call to a doctor. Lifting batteries requires using opposite-hand corner support or battery carriers because excessive force against the walls can make acid leak from the vent caps. The process of battery removal starts by disconnecting cables followed by removing the heat shield and unfastening the bolt and battery hold down. Reverse the steps followed for removal to install the replacement battery unit. The vehicle needs to drive after battery disconnection and reconnection to complete adaptive learning since it will show unusual driving behavior during this period.
