electrolyte level of the battery. It should be between the
maximum and minimum level. If the electrolyte level is
below the minimum level, add only distilled water upto the
maximum level by removing the filler caps.
Clean the battery throughly, apply petroleum jelly to the
battery terminals to prevent it from
corrosion.
While connecting the terminals, observe the correct
polarity. Connect the red wire to the ‘ + ’ positive terminal
and black wire to the ‘ – ’ negative terminal of the battery.
Once the battery is charged initially, never add diluted sulphuric
acid. Use only distilled water for topping up. Never add tap water.

battery charge by shorting the terminals.
Always connect the positive terminal first and then negative to avoid
