My Mom's battery on her 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo went bad yesterday, I tested the battery and the tester that I used said it was no good.
It took me almost 30 minutes to remove the battery, I had to remove the air box as well as tank that holds the windshield washer fluid.
So its 5:30 p.m. and my Mom wants a battery in it fast since she wants to use the car the next day, the old battery was one of those batteries you do not service, so I went to Sears and got a Die Hard Gold Battery.
With this battery I need to add water in it from time to time, the thing is that in order to check it I have to take the windshield washer fluid tank off, my Chevrolet El Camino is easy to check since there is nothing sitting on top of the battery.
So, how often do I check the battery to see if it needs any water, my Mom does drive the car just about everyday unless we have really bad weather.
Do I check it every 3 months, every 6 months, or maybe check it when I do her oil change. I am thinking that checking it once a year is kind of pushing it.
Do these batteries use more water in the spring and summer than they do in the fall and winter.
