Battery Maintenance
WARNING:
Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dangerous, may cause severe
burns, injury, etc.. Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles when han-
dling batteries, electrolyte, and charging your battery.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Cleaning
• The exterior of the battery, the connection wires and bolts should always
be kept clean and dry. When cleaning, make sure all vent caps are tightly
in place. Clean the battery top with a cloth or brush and solution of bak-
ing soda and water. When cleaning, do not allow any cleaning solution or
other foreign matter to get inside the battery. This should be done every
week.
• Clean battery terminals and the inside of cable clamps using a post and
clamp cleaner. Clean terminals will have a bright metallic shine. This
should be done whenever necessary.
• Reconnect the clamps to the terminals and thinly coat them with petro-
leum jelly (Vaseline) to prevent corrosion.
• WARNING: Before you disconnect any battery cable from any terminal on
the battery, always remove the power by disconnecting the main battery
cable from the controller.
• Checking the terminals and nuts: The connection of the battery should al-
ways be kept in good condition. Check every week on whether any battery
cable terminal or nut has become loose in order to prevent any damage to
terminals. Check the status of the battery cable weekly. A damaged bat-
tery cable should be replaced immediately.
• Foreign matter: Do not place any objects on the battery and do not con-
nect the positive pole to the negative pole. This may cause a short circuit
and sparking.
Recharging
• As long as you use the vehicle, regardless of how long you have used it,
the battery should be recharged fully on the same day. Any delay in re-
charging will negatively affect the battery. The lead-acid battery does not
develop a memory, so need not be fully discharged before recharging.
