Battery care

Dirty battery terminals and battery surfaces
cause creepage current. This can cause the
batteries to discharge.

fuel. Cleaning agents containing fuel corrode
the battery housing.

If dirt enters the battery cell, self-discharg-
ing of the battery is increased and the battery
may be damaged.

Always keep the terminal clamps and battery
surfaces clean and dry.

Lightly grease the undersides of the battery
terminal clamps with acid-resistant grease.

cially available cleaning agents.
