After that check the terminals and cables as a whole to identify other potential makes the life of the battery becomes shorter. If all is fine, the last step is to reinstall the cables.
Tighten the positive battery terminal first, then attach the negative cable to prevent electrical shock that can damage electronic components in the car.
After all is installed and make sure nothing is missing, you are ready start the engine to make sure the battery is properly connected.
Additional tips:
If your battery is not able to rotate the starter motor ditadai start because of the delayed process, should not impose any further because it will damage the electrical components on the starter motor.
