MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Battery Storage
NOTICE
Battery storage is critical
for battery life. Regularly charging
the battery during storage will pre-
vent cell sulfation. Keeping the bat-
tery in vehicle for storage may lead
to contacts degradation/corrosion
and case damage if freezing occurs.
A discharged battery will freeze and
crack in areas where freezing con-
ditions are experienced. Electrolyte
leakage will damage surrounding
parts. Always remove battery from
vehicle for storage and regularly
recharge it to keep an optimal condi-
tion.
Clean battery terminals and cable con-
nections using a wire brush.
Apply a light coat of dielectric grease
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 in a cool dry place. Such
conditions reduce self-discharging and
keep fluid evaporation to a minimum.
Keep battery away from dew, high
moisture and direct sunlight.
Recharge frequency depends on bat-
tery condition and storage tempera-
ture. Maintain battery as per following
table.
NOTE:
The battery must always be
stored in fully a charged state.

Charging a Battery
WARNING
Never charge or boost the battery
while installed in the watercraft.
WARNING
Always wear safety glasses and
charge the battery in a ventilated
area. Never charge or boost a bat-
tery while installed on a vehicle.
Do not open the sealed caps dur-
ing charging. Do not place battery
near an open flame.
NOTICE
If the battery becomes
hot to the touch, stop charging and
allow it to cool before continuing.
NOTE:
Sealed VRLA batteries have an
internal safety valve. If battery pres-
sure increases due to overcharging,
the valve opens to release excess pres-
sure, preventing battery damage.
Carry out a battery
UNLOADED VOLT-
METER TEST
as described in this sub-
section, then proceed as described
here.
An automatic charger is the fastest and
most convenient way for error-proof
charging.
When
using
a
constant
current
charger, charge battery according to
the chart below.
