Battery Cleaning
Clean the battery casing, cables and
battery posts using a solution of baking
soda and water.
Remove corrosion from battery cable
terminals and battery posts using a
firm wire brush.
Battery top should be cleaned with a
soft brush and any grease-cutting soap
or baking soda solution.
Rinse with clear water then dry well.
Battery Inspection
Visually inspect battery casing for
cracks, leaks or other possible dam-
ages.
Discoloration, warping or raised top, in-
dicates that the battery has overheated
or been overcharged.
If the casing is damaged, replace bat-
tery and thoroughly clean battery tray
and surrounding area with a water and
baking soda solution.
CAUTION
Should the battery
casing be damaged, wear a suitable
pair of non-absorbent gloves when
removing the battery by hand.
Inspect the battery posts for security of
mounting.
Battery Storage
NOTICE
Battery storage is critical
for battery life. Regularly charging
the battery during storage will pre-
vent cell sulfation. Keeping the bat-
tery in vehicle for storage may lead
to contacts degradation/corrosion
and case damage if freezing occurs.
A discharged battery will freeze and
crack in areas where freezing con-
ditions are experienced. Electrolyte
leakage will damage surrounding
parts. Always remove battery from
vehicle for storage and regularly
recharge it to keep an optimal condi-
tion.
Clean battery terminals and cable con-
nections using a wire brush.
Apply a light coat of dielectric grease
on terminals.
Clean battery casing using a solution of
baking soda and water.
Rinse battery with clear water and dry
well using a clean cloth.
Store battery in a cool dry place. Such
conditions reduce self-discharging and
keep fluid evaporation to a minimum.
Keep battery away from dew, high
moisture and direct sunlight.
Recharge frequency depends on bat-
tery condition and storage tempera-
ture. Maintain battery as per following
table.
NOTE:
The battery must always be
stored in fully a charged state.
