BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Before any battery maintenance is done, make sure batteries and charger are
disconnected and unplugged from wall outlet to avoid shock.
Keep battery terminals and surface clean and dry.
1.) To dissolve battery corrosion, mix a solution of baking soda and water. Brush solution carefully
over battery. Do not allow solution to enter battery cells.
2.) After drying, use a wire brush to clean terminal posts and cable connections.
3.) After all wires are connected, thoroughly apply a coating of grease to battery terminals to help
maintain a good connection and prevent further corrosion.
4.) Check for worn or loose cables and replace if necessary.
5.) Check fluid level in batteries every 10 charges (lead acid batteries only).

sparks around the batteries.
