.
3. Wash off any corrosion around the terminals with a solution of baking soda and water (one cup per gal-
lon of water), then rinse solution from the batteries (do not allow this solution to enter the batteries). Let
the terminals dry and coat them with Battery Terminal Protector (Club Car Part No. 1014305).
4. Store in a cool, dry place. This will minimize battery self-discharge.
5. Adjust tire pressure to rated capacity.
See Section 8 – Wheels and Tires.

Drive storage charge feature will automatically charge the batteries as needed throughout storage
period. If it is not possible to charge the batteries due to the unavailability of AC power, leave them dis-
