Battery
Maintenance
is an
important
issue.
The
battery
should
be
cleaned
using a
baking
soda and
water
mix; a
couple
of table
spoons
to a
pint of
water.
Cable
connection
needs to
be clean
and
tightened.
Many
battery
problems
are
caused
by dirty
and
loose
connections.
A
serviceable
battery
needs to
have the
fluid
level
checked.
Use only
mineral
free
water.
Distilled
water is
best.
Don't
overfill
battery
cells
especially
in
warmer
weather.
The
natural
fluid
expansion
in hot
weather
will
push
excess
electrolytes
from the
battery.
To prevent
corrosion
of
cables
on top
post
batteries
use a
small
bead of
silicon
sealer
at the
base of
the post
and
place a
felt
battery
washer
over it.
Coat the
washer
with
high
temperature
grease
or
petroleum
jelly
(Vaseline),
then
place
cable on
the post
and
tighten.
Coat the
exposed
cable
end with
the
grease.
Most
folks
don't
know
that
just the
gases
from the
battery
condensing
on metal
parts
cause
most
corrosion. |
