INSPECTION
Visually inspect battery casing for cracks or other
possible damage. If casing is damaged, replace
battery and thoroughly clean battery rack with wa-
ter and baking soda.
Inspect battery rack mounting.
Inspect battery posts for security of mounting.
BATTERY STORAGE
If the battery is in storage or used infrequently,
disconnect the battery cables to eliminate drain
from electrical equipment. Charge the battery ev-
ery two weeks.
For extended storage, remove the battery from
vehicle and charge to 100%. Charge the battery
every month if stored at temperature below 16°C
(60°F). If stored in a warm area, above 16°C (60°F),
charge every two weeks. Make sure battery is
stored out of reach of children.
Clean battery terminals and cable connections using
a wire brush. Apply a light coat of dielectric grease
(P/N 293 550 004) on terminals.
Clean battery casing using a solution of baking
soda and water. Rinse battery with clear water and
dry well using a clean cloth.
Store battery on a wooden shelf in a cool dry place.
Such conditions reduce self-discharging to a min-
imum.
