8.2 Battery
When the battery charge warning light on the instrument cluster
comes on, the battery is not normally charging. If the warning light
comes on while driving, turn off all unnecessary electrical devices
and have the system checked by a Mahindra Dealer or Mahindra
Authorised Service Centre.
Battery Maintenance
• Make sure the terminal connections are securely tightened
• If the terminals are corroded, clean them with a wire brush or
sand paper
• The battery terminal should be disconnected only when the
ignition key is removed from the key cylinder. Disconnecting the
terminal with the key in the “ON” or “ACC” position may cause a
sudden change in voltage and damage various electrical systems
• Check the battery for any cracks, damages or leaks. Replace it if
necessary. To remove any battery fluid on the battery surface,
wear rubber gloves and wipe the fluid out with a wet-soapy cloth
• The battery has acid that can burn you. And its gas can
explode. You can get serious injuries if you are not careful.
Keep naked flames, sparks and smoking items away from
the battery
• Loosely connected battery terminals can set up sparks.
These sparks can cause a fire with flammable gas.
Therefore, tightly connect the terminals
• At night, if you need to check the engine room, do not use a
lighter, but only use a battery-powered flashlight
• Because the battery electrolyte is very strong acid, avoid any
direct contact of the battery electrolyte on your skin or
vehicle’s body. If the acid contacts your skin, thoroughly wash
your skin with fresh water and see your doctor. Do the same
on your vehicle
• Wear eye protection when working with a battery. If working
in a closed area, keep good ventilation
• If you disconnect the battery terminal when the engine is
running, electrical systems could be damaged
