Basically equipped battery is main
tenance free type. If your vehicle is
equipped with the battery marked
with LOWER and UPPER on the side,
you can check the electrolyte level.
The electrolyte level should be
between LOWER and UPPER. If the
electrolyte level is low, it needs to
add distilled (demineralized) water
(Never add sulfuric acid or other
electrolyte). When refill, be careful

cent components. And do not overfill
the battery cells. It can cause corro
sion on other parts. After then
ensure that tighten the cell caps. We
recommend that you contact an
