Clean battery terminals and cable connections using
a wire brush. Apply a light coat of dielectric grease
on terminals.
Clean battery casing and caps using a solution of
baking soda and water.
CAUTION:
Do not allow cleaning solution to en-
ter battery.
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.
During the storage period, recheck electrolyte level
and specific gravity readings at least every month.
If necessary, keep the battery at its upper level line
and near full charge as possible (trickle charge).
Activation of a New Battery
A new battery is factory fresh dry charged. For
storage purposes, it is fitted with a temporary seal-
ing tube.
CAUTION:
Do not remove the sealing tube or
loosen battery caps unless activation is desired.
NOTE:
In case of accidental premature removal
of caps or sealing tube, battery should be given a
full charge.
Perform the following operations anytime a new
battery is to be installed.
1. Remove the sealing tube from the vent elbow.
2. Remove caps and fill battery to UPPER LEVEL
line with electrolyte (specific gravity: 1.265 at
21°C (70°F)).
NOTE:
This battery may fill slower than others
due to the anti-spill check ball design.
1. Sealing tube removed
2. Battery electrolyte
3. Upper level line
3. Allow the battery to stand for 30 minutes MIN-
IMUM so that electrolyte soak through battery
cells.
1. 30 minutes
4. Readjust the electrolyte level to the UPPER LEVEL
line.
1. Battery electrolyte
2. Upper level line
WARNING
Never charge or boost battery while installed in
watercraft.
WARNING
Failure to remove the sealing tube could re-
sult in an explosion.
