5. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
5.1 INSPECTION
î Examine the outside appearance of the battery. The tops of the batteries and terminal connections should be
clean, dry, and free of corrosion.
î Check battery cables and connections. Replace any damaged cables and tighten any loose connections. Refer to
Section 4.5, Torque Values.
5.2 CLEANING
Check the battery for cleanliness at regular intervals and keep terminals and connectors free of corrosion. Terminal
corrosion may adversely affect the performance of the battery and present a safety hazard.
î Disconnect the battery from the charging source and the load.
î Clean the top of the battery, terminals, and connections with a damp cloth or non-metallic brush. If the battery is
extremely soiled, a household cleaner may be used.
î Dry with a clean cloth.
î Keep the area around batteries clean and dry.
6. CHARGING
6.1. INITIAL CHARGING
Due to shipping laws and regulations, your battery may be received at a partial state-of-charge. Batteries should be
given a full charge prior to first use.
6.2. CHARGING
Chargers which charge at lower voltages will not
harm the battery, but will not provide a full charge to
maximum capacity and may affect range and usable
lifespan of the battery. Chargers which charge at higher voltages
will not harm the battery, but may not provide a full charge
because the battery will shut off as soon as the voltage
gets too high and your charger may not continue to
charge the battery once it turns back on.
