Preparation for Cleaning Batteries
Dirty batteries can leak current and tend to run hotter. Ultimately, this affects the
performance of your inverter/charger, resulting in inefficient inverting and
incomplete charging. Cleaning batteries when necessary is easy and safe when
you follow these instructions.
Gather what you need before beginning the procedure. The appropriate clothing,
tools, equipment, and supplies are listed as follows.
Clothing
Appropriate clothing could include old clothes, rubber boots, or old shoes. Battery
acid is highly corrosive, so wear something you can discard just in case you splash
some acid on yourself. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and eye protection.

Adjustable wrench or appropriately sized ratchet and sockets for battery
terminals
