1. Check the specific gravity of the
battery fluid using a hydrometer. If the
specific gravity is too low, the battery
should be charged.

1. Check the terminals for looseness,
cracks and corrosion. If there are
cracks at the terminal, have inspection
and replacement performed at an
Isuzu Dealer.
2. If a terminal is found to be corroded
and coated in white powder, wash
this away with warm water and then
wipe fully dry. Excessively corroded
terminals should be polished using a
wire brush or sandpaper.
3. When you have finished cleaning the
terminals, apply a thin layer of grease
and securely connect the battery
cables, taking care to ensure that they
are tight.
See "When the Battery Goes Flat"
regarding steps to be taken should
the battery be completely discharged.
