Battery Storage
CAUTION:
Battery storage is critical for battery
life. Regularly charging the battery during stor-
age will prevent cell sulfation. Keeping the bat-
tery in vehicle for storage may lead to contacts
degradation/corrosion and case damage if freez-
ing occurs. A discharged battery will freeze and
break in area where freezing point is experi-
enced. Electrolyte leakage will damage sur-
rounding parts. Always remove battery from ve-
hicle for storage and regularly charge to keep
an optimal condition.
Disconnect and remove battery from watercraft
as explained in REMOVAL.
Check electrolyte level in each cell, add distilled
water up to upper level line.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
The battery must always be stored in fully charged
condition. If required, charge until specific gravity
of 1.265 is obtained.
CAUTION:
Battery electrolyte temperature must
not exceed 50°C (122°F). The casing should not
feel hot.
Clean battery terminals and cable connections using
a wire brush. Apply a light coat of dielectric grease
on terminals.
Clean battery casing and caps using a solution of
baking soda and water.
CAUTION:
Do not allow cleaning solution to en-
ter battery.
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.
During the storage period, recheck electrolyte level
and specific gravity readings at least every month.
If necessary, keep the battery at its upper level line
and near full charge as possible (trickle charge).
Activation of a New Battery
A new battery is factory fresh dry charged.
CAUTION:
Do not loosen battery caps unless
activation is desired.
NOTE:
In case of accidental premature removal
of caps, battery should be given a full charge.
Perform the following operations anytime a new
battery is to be installed.
1. Remove caps and fill battery to UPPER LEVEL
line with electrolyte (specific gravity: 1.265 at
21°C (70°F)).
NOTE:
This battery may fill slower than others
due to the anti-spill check ball design.
2. Allow the battery to stand for 30 minutes MIN-
IMUM so that electrolyte soak through battery
cells.
1. 30 minutes
3. Readjust the electrolyte level to the UPPER LEVEL
line.
1. Battery electrolyte
2. Upper level line
WARNING
Never charge or boost battery while installed in
watercraft.
