once a month. Fill to the manufactur-
er’s recommended level when neces-
sary.

Ordinary tap-water contains minerals
harmful to a battery, and should not be
used for topping-up.

state of charge. Installing a voltmeter
will help you monitor your battery.

month or more, remove the battery
from the boat and store it in a cool,
dark place.
Completely recharge the battery

ity of the fluid at least once a month
