5. Check water level daily. Fill, if needed.
6. Keep all the battery cable connections tight.
7. Keep all the battery posts and cables clean. Clean the battery cases
with a mixture of baking soda and water solution or commercial spray
that neutralizes the acid. Spray the cases with a water displacement
chemical or a silicone. This will help break the flow of current across
the case and increases the life of the battery.
Note: The electrolyte on the surface of the case can cause:
A. The batteries to discharge faster even while sitting and have a shorter
run time.
B. The battery charger to stay on for extended periods. Thus causing an
over charge condition and shortening the life of the batteries.
