Magic Eye Indicator

Magic eye indicator NRMA Batteries have a Magic Eye Indicator' to indicate the state of charge of your battery. You are able to see at a glance when you should have your battery replaced so you should never be caught out with a flat battery.

 

How to avoid a flat or dead battery

  • Don't leave lights or accessories on
  • Drive your vehicle regularly to prevent it from losing its state of charge
  • Try to take a steady 1hour drive each week
  • Have the charge rate of your battery checked at every service
  • Keep your battery case clean
  • Inspect the battery terminals regularly to ensure they haven't loosened during driving vibration
  • Have your engine serviced regularly as poor engine condition can overload the battery

Car Battery Safety Tips

  • Metallic objects should not be placed on top of the battery
  • Keep flames or sparks away from the battery at all times
  • Never add acid to cells and keep acid away from eyes, skin, clothing or any other material which may become damaged. If contamination occurs, use large amounts of water to neutralise and flush acid away
