Automatic watering devices such as the one included in
the Battery Maintenance Kit (P/N 25587-G01) can be
used with an approved water source. These watering
devices are accurate, easy to use and allow for rapid fill-
ing. They also maintain the correct electrolyte level with-
in the battery cells.
Fig. 24 Automatic Watering Gun
The watering device should only be used if the electrolyte level
is less than 1/2” (13 mm) above top of plates.
The electrolyte in a storage battery is an acid
solution which can cause severe burns to the
skin and eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to the
body and eyes with extended flushing with
clear water. Contact a physician immediately.
Always wear a safety
shield or approved safe-
ty goggles when adding
water or charging bat-
teries.
Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized
with a solution of 1/4 cup (60 ml) sodium bicar-
bonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1 1/2 gal-
lons (6 liters) of water and flushed with water.
CLEANING BATTERIES
When cleaning the outside of the batteries and termi-
nals, do not use a water hose without first spraying the
batteries with a solution of baking soda (sodium bicar-
bonate) and water to neutralize any acid deposits. Use
of a water hose without first neutralizing the acid will
move the acid from the top of the batteries to another
area of the vehicle or storage facility, where it will attack
the metal structure or the concrete/asphalt floor. After
hosing down the batteries, a residue will be left on the
batteries which is conductive and will contribute to the
discharge of the batteries.
To prevent battery damage, be sure that all battery
caps are tightly installed.
The correct cleaning technique is to spray the top and
sides of the batteries with a solution of baking soda and
water. This solution is best applied with a garden-type
sprayer equipped with a non-metallic spray wand. The
solution should consist of 1/4 cup (60 ml) of baking soda
mixed with 1 1/2 gallons (6 liters) of clear water. In addi-
tion to the batteries special attention should be paid to
metallic components adjacent to the batteries, these
should also be sprayed with the baking soda solution.
