Battery Maintenance

To get the best service from a battery:

•

Keep it securely mounted.

•

Keep the top clean and dry.

•

Keep terminals and connections clean,
tight, and coated with petroleum jelly
or terminal grease.

•

Rinse off spilled electrolyte
immediately with a solution of water
and baking soda.

•

If the vehicle will not be used for an
extended time, disconnect the battery
cables.

▼

Inspecting Electrolyte Level

A low level of electrolyte fluid will cause
the battery to discharge quickly.

Inspect the electrolyte level at least once a
week. If it’s low, remove the cap and add
enough distilled water to bring the level
between the upper and lower level
(illustration).

Don’t overfill.

Examine the specific gravity of the
electrolyte with a hydrometer, especially
during cold weather. If it’s low, recharge
the battery.
