Loose battery terminal - Trailblazer AT

battery terminals do not magically loosen.
either the terminal was not tightened properly, or battery acid ate up some of the metal...
and no, AT and battery terminal are not related.

Kung loose terminals tapos may mga kulay green na deposits kang nakikita sa paligid ng terminals ay mahihirapan ngang mag start yan. ang best remedy dyan ay linisin mo muna at tanggalin ang mga green deposits using steel brush at liha. Kulapulan mo ng grasa ang terminal para di na mag karoon uli ng corrosion.

Pag ayaw mag start, wag agad i-rule na battery for replacement agad. Check double check ang battery connection. Learned the culprit several times by experience.

the battery needs a little attention too. at least everytime you have the bonnet open, check the battery connections for tightness and cleanliness. both the terminals and the battery top needs to be free of dirt and liquids. if you have a voltmeter, check the voltage drop between the battery post and the battery clamp on the same pole by placing a considerable load, e.g. the starter motor. while an assistant cranks the engine, measure the voltage drop across the connections both on the positive and the negative side of the battery. the voltage drop should be no more than 0.5VDC.
if the battery has vent caps and is designed to be topped off with battery distilled water, check for the electrolyte specific gravity. the S.G. of a fully charged battery should be between 1.260 up to 1.265 at our ambient temperatures
