BG battery post protectors...

Is this the first time you have ever changed a battery? This battery 101 knowledge.
Btw, you don't need all that chemical spray cleaner chit. Just a shop rag, and elbow grease is fine. Don't forget to use those battery post wire brush tools so you have a nice clean terminal connection.

battery has been replaced twice at Sears with the dieHard
last time was in 2o15 and perhaps 2oo6 before that
it looks like they put these type of post pads down to prevent ANY corrosion on the posts, all they are is dirty caked with dirt cannot tell of any corrosion caked materials
 
I only buy deka's when replacing a battery now. Seems most of the other lead acid brands no longer are as good as they use to be.
 
we shall see about that, tacoJoel
U are likely spot on there with that
the battery in my rig at 9yrs of age is likely on its last legs
hopefully we can hold out until the next AAP special deal for perks members and get all kinds of goody goodies
 
only the time will tell...
Truck will be 33 yrs of aged then
Perhaps over half a million miles also with another pilot bearing
 
battry is shot... it just stopped working as normal and was done for in a short day
now will not even illuminate the courtesy lights when the door is open!
...lasted nearly 9.5 years
 
It's pretty rare to find long lasting lead/acid batteries these days. Many manufactures in the auto industry have gone to AGM 12 volt batteries which of course are more expensive, plus you need to modify your vehicles charging circuit for these batteries to last longer, if your vehicle originally came with a lead/acid battery. I've been told most lead/acid batteries these days are remanufactured so don't expect the service life to be as long as ones manufactured years ago.
At any rate Deka made by East Penn is as good as any lead/acid battery out there, especially for the money.
