How do you change the battery on a 2002 Mazda Protege?

Pop the hood. Disconnect the negative battery cable, then the positive battery cable. If you disconnect the positive first you could possibly ground out the battery with your wrench causing a short. Once those have been disconnected the car should have no power. There is a battery tie down on top of the battery that holds it in place. On one side of the battery tie down there is a bolt threaded on to a long rod that continues down to the bottom of the battery. I believe that bolt is either an 8mm or 10mm. Once that bolt has been removed the battery tie down bar can be removed and there is a black plastic box that sits around the battery and that should lift right up. Once those pieces have been removed the battery is free to be removed. Follow the same steps in reverse to install a new battery. The main thing is that when putting the cables onto the new battery put the positive on first then the negative.

1993 Acura Vigor It will not start when you turn the key you hear a click but it does not start this all started after you got your battery terminals cleaned and it cannot be jump started?

If a jump start will not start it then it is not the battery. You either have a short in the battery cable connection to the battery or the engine/starter or you have a bad starter. Test for a short in battery, battery Cables or connection. Trace where the positive battery cable connects to usually an electrical box on the inside of the engine compartment and put the positive jumper cable there while putting the negative jumper cable on a metal part of the engine (you are by-passing the battery and the battery cables completely). If it does not start now then you have a bad starter.

Why are batteries placed in a flashlight the positive terminal of one is connected to the negative terminal of the next?

Because they are connected in series. Lets say you have a flashlight that holds 2 D cell batteries. Each battery puts out 1.5 volts. Connect them in series and together they put out 3 volts. The flashlight is designed to run on 3 volts. A electronic device that uses 4 AA batteries is using 6 volts even though each battery is only putting out 1.5 volts. Connected in series you add to the voltage with the addition of each new battery.

How do you charge a 12 volt car motorcycle or boat battery with a battery charger?

red wire or clamp to positive (+) post of batteryblack wire or clamp to negative (-) post of batteryset charger to 12 volts (if more than one setting available)plug charger into wall socketlet charge for 12 hoursThere is a danger of exploding the hydrogen and oxygen gases that are given off from a fully charged battery, so remember Don't Smoke whilst doing the above!Also, it not safe or in any way good practice just to put both of the charger cables directly onto the battery terminals.This is the safe way to do it: first clip the +ve cable onto the +ve battery terminal. Then clip the -ve cable to a good "Ground" point somewhere on the vehicle's bodywork, at least a yard or a metre away from the battery.When you want to remove the cable, do this: first unclip the -ve cable from the "Ground" point; only then unclip the +ve cable from the +ve battery terminal.Doing it all that way helps to avoid sparks over the battery's air vents when you attach or detach the +ve cable from the battery.Always remember: NO SMOKING!Always for safety sake!!!!! Wear safety googles and cover exposed skin before putting any battery on a charger, with that being said be sure to put the positive(red or larger terminal) on first, then clip on the negative(black or smaller terminal) last, also to avoid sparks and possible explosion of the battery acid in your face etc. be sure the battery charger is not powered up before you hook it to the battery, in other words keep the charger unplugged before you clip up to the battery in question being charged.Also: Try to be charging in a well ventilated area to help avoid the possibility of explosive fumes meeting up with unexpected sparks Work smart, work safely!!!More detailsEach type of battery charger is different, they are not all the same.

Then with charger turned off, connect positive cable, (the red one) to the positive side of the battery. Then connect negative charger cable (the black one) to the negative, (ground) side of the battery. then select how many amps on charger u want to charge at. the lower the charging amps, the slower the battery will charge,but the slower the better, if you have the time. for eg charge at 2 amps and leave all night while charging, remove caps from battery, also you do not need to remove battery from car, but make sure ignition is off and key removed, when battery is charged remove cables black one first then red one.Read the instructions that came with the battery charger to make sure you know how your specific battery charger works.Connect the battery charger to the battery.
