Cleaning the Battery Contacts
Routinely clean the battery contacts, possibly as part of the preventa-
tive maintenance cycle, to remove buildup of foreign material on the
contacts.
Use the following to clean the battery contacts:
• Cotton swab wetted with Isopropyl Alcohol (70% minimum)
NOTE: Do not use an alcohol formulation that contains components
other than alcohol and water.
OR
• Pre-moistened alcohol swab
1. Using a swab wetted with alcohol, rub the entire battery contact
for a minimum of 10 back and forth cycles (20 total wipes over the
contact).
2. Using a clean surface of the swab, repeat process for second battery
contact.
3. Using a clean swab wetted with alcohol, rub each battery contact
again, a minimum of 4 back and forth cycles (8 total wipes over the
contact).
4. Allow the contacts to dry completely before use.
