Jeep 5080706AA Battery-Storage

You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 5080706AA fits your vehicle.

Ensure that the battery tray and hold-down clamp fasteners are in good condition.

Perform an open-voltage circuit test using a voltmeter to check the battery's voltage, which should be at least 12.4 volts.

Slow-rate charging with a one or two-amp battery charger is recommended for restoring a deeply discharged battery or maintaining the charge in infrequently driven vehicles.

Replace the battery.

Handle the battery electrolyte, which contains corrosive sulfuric acid, with care to prevent contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Never ingest it.

Replace the battery.

Look at the indicator eye on the top of the battery (if equipped). A green indicator eye means the battery is 75 to 100 percent charged, black indicates 0 to 75 percent charged, and clear or bright indicates low electrolyte level. Maintenance-free batteries with clear indicator eyes should be replaced, while low-maintenance batteries with removable cell caps can have distilled water added to the correct level. Perform an open-voltage circuit test using a voltmeter to check the battery voltage, ensuring the surface charge is removed for accurate measurement. A fully charged battery should have at least 12.4 volts. Charge the battery if the voltage is lower. Perform a battery load test with a battery load tester to assess the battery's ability to handle heavy amperage draw. A fully functional battery should not drop below 9.6 volts during the test.
