Check for corrosion on the battery tray and clean it. To reinstall follow the reverse procedure. After that, it is necessary to drive about 5 miles for the engine management system to relearn optimal settings. If you are testing a battery, perform specific gravity checks every three months for standard and low-maintenance batteries using a hydrometer or use a battery condition indicator or voltmeter for maintenance-free batteries. If your battery is completely discharged it is better to have it charged by a dealer or automotive electrician because of the higher charge rate and need for constant supervision.
