Use this brush to scrub both the battery post and the interior of the cable end clamp until bare metal is visible before reconnecting. Work in a ventilated area, as batteries can off-gas hydrogen during service. Reinstall cable connections starting with the positive terminal and finishing with the negative terminal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SOUTHWIRE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 986\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWIRE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541897675058,"sku":"986","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/95fa1520d6d12ea1a66df038ccf2adbb.jpg?v=1785887604","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwire-986-automotive-battery-metal-brush","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
