Battery maintenance
The battery is a low-maintenance type, and during normal use in
temperate climates, will not require topping-up.
If it is necessary to top-up the electrolyte, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the battery from the car and stand it on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the vent caps and add distilled water to each cell,
raising the level of the electrolyte until it is approximately 25
mm above the minimum level marked on the side of the battery.
Care Points .........
On older batteries, prevent
corrosion of the battery lead
clamps by liberally smearing
the battery terminals with
petroleum jelly (e.g. Vaseline).
