3. Be certain that battery terminals and posts are clean
and that the battery cable terminals are tight.
Dirty or loose battery connections can
create high electrical resistance and permit arcing.
4. If corrosion is present around terminal connections,
remove and wash with ammonia or a solution of
1/4-pound baking soda added to one quart of warm
water. Ensure the vent caps are tight to prevent
solution from entering the cells.
5. Pour clean water over the battery and surrounding
area to rinse away the solution.
6. Check vent cap breather openings to ensure they
are clear.

The alternator supplies electrical power to electronic
controls and charges the battery. Its built-in regulator
controls voltage output. (Figure 5-30)
