Cleaning
Batteries seem to attract dust, dirt, and grime. Keeping them clean will help one
spot trouble signs if they appear and avoid problems associated with grime.
1. Check that all vent caps are tightly in place.
2. Clean the battery top with a cloth or brush and a solution of baking soda and
water.
When cleaning, do not allow any cleaning solution, or other foreign matter to
get inside the battery.
3. Rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth.
4. Clean battery terminals and the inside of cable clamps using a post and clamp
cleaner.
Clean terminals will have a bright metallic shine.
5. Reconnect the clamps to the terminals and thinly coat them with petroleum jelly
(Vaseline) to prevent corrosion.
6. Keep the area around batteries clean and dry.
CAUTION!
Battery acid from cleaning batteries can damage vehicle, driveway or
garage floor.
