Battery maintenance is important. Checking the condition of a battery at regular
intervals will help insure its proper operation. Here are some recommendations for
checking and servicing batteries:
Note:
These instructions apply only to batteries which are not
maintenance-free batteries. Do not open or break seals on
maintenance-free
batteries.
1. Keep the battery mounted securely. Vibration causes early failure of many
batteries.
2. Check the electrolyte level of the auxiliary batteries at regular intervals.
Keep each cell filled to just above the plates with distilled water. Once the
plates have dried out, they cannot be reactivated, and the capacity of the
battery is reduced in direct proportion to the area of plate surface that has
become dry. This kind of damage can occur quickly; usually it can
happen overnight. If the fluid level is low, simply add distilled water.
3. Keep the battery clean. Corroded terminals make poor contact and do
not allow the chassis alternator or the converter to bring the battery up to
full charge. Battery sulfation occurs when the battery has been standing
in a discharged condition over a long period of time, or when the battery

DO NOT SHORT ACROSS THE BATTERY
TERMINALS. The spark could ignite the gases. Do
not wear metal jewelry or a watch when working on
a battery.
Before doing ANY work on electrical system,
disconnect battery cable and the 120 volt power cord.
Do not reconnect the cables until all work has been
completed. This will avoid the possibility of shorting
or causing damage to electrical components or
shock to the servicing person.
Battery electrolyte is a corrosive, poisonous, sulfuric
acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, clothing, or any
painted surface.
BATTERIES CAN EXPLODE! Always wear splash
proof safety glasses when working near batteries. Do
not smoke or expose any battery to electric sparks
or flame. Batteries, when charging or discharging,
generate hydrogen. Hydrogen and air is a very
explosive mixture.
Sulfuric acid in the batteries can cause severe
injury or death. Sulfuric acid can cause permanent
damage to eyes, burn skin and eat holes in clothing.
Always wear splash-proof safety goggles and
gloves when working around the battery. If battery
electrolyte solution is splashed in the eyes, or on
the skin, immediately flush with clean water for 15
minutes. In case of eye contact, seek immediate
medical treatment. Never add acid to a battery once
the battery has been placed in service. Doing so
may result in hazardous splattering of electrolyte
solution.
