Remove the battery cover before performing

battery maintenance.

qBattery Maintenance

To get the best service from a battery:

l

Keep it securely mounted.

l

Keep the top clean and dry.

l

Keep terminals and connections clean,

tight, and coated with petroleum jelly

or terminal grease.

l

Rinse off spilled electrolyte

immediately with a solution of water

and baking soda.

l

If the vehicle will not be used for an

extended time, disco nnect the battery

cables and charge the battery every six

weeks.

qInspecting Electrolyte Level

A low level of electrolyte fluid will cause

the battery to discharge quickly.

Upper level

Lower level

Inspect the electrolyte level at least once a

week. If it's low, remove the caps and add

enough distilled water to bring the level

between the upper and lower level

(illustration).

Don't overfill.

Examine the specific gravity of the

electrolyte with a hydrometer, especially

during cold weather. If it's low, recharge

the battery.
