If a battery does not need any make-up water at all
over a considerable time of operation, an
undercharged battery condition may be caused by
poor cable connections or a too low voltage regulator
setting.
5.5.3.5 Periodic battery service
– Keep the battery clean and dry.
– Keep the electrolyte level at 10 to 15 mm above
the plates or at the indicated level; top up with
distilled water only. Never overfill, as this will
cause poor performance and excessive corrosion.
– Record the quantity of distilled water added.
– Keep the terminals and clamps tight, clean, and
lightly covered with petroleum jelly.
– Carry out periodic condition tests. Test intervals
of 1 to 3 months, depending on climate and
operating conditions, are recommended.
– If doubtful conditions are noticed or malfunctions
arise, keep in mind that the cause may be in the
electrical system, e.g. loose terminals, voltage
regulator maladjusted, poor performance of
generator, etc...
