2004 Ford Ranger Car Batteries Parts Q&A

• Q: What Precautions Should Be Taken When Working with Car Batteries to Prevent Personal Injury and Ensure Safety on 2004 Ford Ranger?

  A: Working with batteries requires proper ventilation because they produce explosive gases that risk personal injuries therefore always keep away flames and sparks and lighted substances from the battery area. The front or side air bag supplement restraint system (SRS) components along with all components near front or side air bag sensors require a back up power supply depletion before installation or repair because accidental deployment may result in harm to personnel. A complete battery power depletion process begins with disconnecting the ground cable and waiting 60 seconds or more while disconnecting all auxiliary batteries and supplemental power systems. Batteries contain sulfuric acid and therefore it's crucial to maintain distance from eyes and skin and to protect your eyes when in physical proximity to battery operations. Follow immediate water flush of acid-affected skin for 15 minutes followed by a trip to medical care. Swallowing acidic substances should prompt a quick call to medical services without delay. Lifting a battery requires the use of a battery carrier together with opposite-corner lifting to stop acid leakages caused by excessive end-wall pressure. Start by disconnecting battery cables then proceed to take out the heat shield until both the bolt and battery hold down come off. Reverse the removal steps to perform installation while understanding that vehicle drive behavior will probably display unusual symptoms before it learns the adaptive strategy following battery connection and disconnection. Driving time may be needed to achieve proper adaptions.
