A dead battery is no fun for any driver in Mountain Home, AR. Ultimate Ford has prepared a few tips that will help you charge your battery the right way. With a little preparation, you may be able to avoid a frustrating breakdown.

Many drivers today choose to invest in portable battery chargers. These small units can be easily stored in your trunk, and they can be inexpensive. The downside is that some of them can take a few hours to produce a satisfactory charge. Even so, they come in handy when you can't find someone to give you a boost.

Begin by making sure your charger is off before you connect the leads. The red lead goes to the positive terminal, the black to the negative. Once the cables are connected, turn on the charger to the slowest rate. Don't forget to set the timer before you leave the charger to do its work.
