5.4 Optimizing Battery Performance

The vehicle is equipped with nine 8 volt batteries. They are located down the

center of the vehicle under the battery covers. There are several simple steps that can be
taken to achieve maximum battery life and performance.

5.4.1 Battery Watering

Make sure to fill batteries with water monthly or promptly when there is any

indicated need. The batteries must be refilled with distilled or de-mineralized water to
avoid internal damage. Electrolyte levels lower during discharge and rise during charge.

Therefore, it is mandatory that water be added to cells ONLY when they are fully
charged.

Older batteries may require more frequent watering than new batteries. (See

section

6.1.1 Battery Water Filling

for battery watering procedure)
