How Should Car Batteries Be Safely Removed and Installed on Ford Escort?

Proper attention during battery servicing is essential since the battery produces explosive gases that might hurt you thus maintain a safe distance from flames sparks and lighted objects as you also need to protect your face and eyes through proper ventilation. You should use a battery carrier or lift by opposite corners to protect the battery end walls from damage since excessive pressure could create acid leaks through the vents. Start the battery disconnect process with the ground cable then proceed to the positive cable. First extract the battery hold-down clamp (part B) followed by the battery hold-down bolt (part A) and the battery cover should be removed before taking the battery apart. Install the unit by reversing the removal procedure while inspecting and cleaning battery posts and cable clamps with a wire brush and treating all corrosion with baking soda water solution. Each battery post requires a tiny amount of Premium Long-Life Grease XG-1-C or XG-1-K which fulfills Ford specification ESA-M1C75-B or an equivalent for corrosion prevention. Driving the vehicle becomes essential to enable the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to relearn optimal performance values when battery voltage clearance results in the loss of all stored values and their resets to baseline measurements. The correct installation of the battery cover must allow the wiring harness to pass through the notch on the cover.
