I had my wife help me with the camera this time since there were quite a few steps. :0)

The blue tool I show in the video is called a "battery terminal cleaner", and you can find them at any auto parts store, although they may look a little different than mine.
You could also use a wire brush, but this is specifically meant for batteries.

I mention that a battery will last 6 to 12 years, and have had a few comments on that.
I have had batteries last 12 years, but there are lots of different factors for how long your battery will last. On average I would say it is probably closer to 6 years in my experience. (Climate is a huge factor, so you may only get 3 years in certain environments).

Interstate makes a great battery in my opinion.
