ELECTRICAL
Battery
Maintenance
Refilling
a
Low
Battery
The
normal
charge/discharge
cycle
of
a
battery
causes
the
cells
to
give
off
hydrogen
and
oxygen.
These
gases
are the
ingredients
of
water.
Because
of
the
loss
of
these
gases
and
the
lowering
of
the
electrolyte
level,
it
will
be
necessary
to
add
pure,
clean
distilled
water
to
bring
the
fluid
to
the
proper
level.
After
filling,
charge
the
battery
to
raise
the
specific
gravity
to
the
fully
charged
(1.270
or
greater)
position.
Off-season
Storage
To
prevent
battery
damage
during
extended
periods
of
non-use,
the
following
basic
battery
maintenance
items
must
be
performed:
•
Remove
battery
from
machine
and
wash
case
and
battery
tray
with
a
mild
solution
of
baking
soda
and
water.
Rinse
with
lots
of
fresh
water
after
cleaning.
NOTE:
Do
not
get
any
of
the
baking
soda
into
the
battery
or
the
acid
will
be
neutralized.
•
Using
a
wire
brush
or
knife,
remove
any
corrosion
from
cables
and
terminals.
•
Make
sure
electrolyte
is
at
proper
level.
Add
distilled
water
if
necessary.
•
Charge
at
a
rate
no
greater
than
1/10
of
the
battery's
amp/hr
capacity
until
the
electro
lyte's
specific
gravity
reaches
1.270
or
greater.
•
Store
battery
either
in
machine
with
cables
disconnected,
or
store
in
a
cool
dry
place.
NOTE:
Stored
batteries
lose
their
charge
at
the
rate
of
1%
per
day.
They
should
be
recharged
to
a
full
charge
every
60
to
90
days
during
a
non-use
period.
If
stored
during
the
winter
months,
the
electrolyte
will
freeze
at
a
higher
temperature
as
the
battery
dis
charges.
The
chart
below
indicates
freezing
points
by
specific
gravity.
Charging
Procedure
Charge
the
battery
with
a
charger
no
larger
than
1/10
of
the
battery's
amp/hr
rating
for
as
many
hours
as
needed
to
raise
the
specific
gravity
to
1.270
or
greater.
A
WARNING
The
gases
given
off
by
a
battery
are
explosive.
Any
spark
or
open
flame
near
a
battery
can
cause
an
explosion
which
will
spray
battery
acid
on
anyone
close
to
it.
Battery
acid
will
cause
burns
to
skin.
In
case
of
contact
with
battery
acid,
wash
the
affected
area
with
large
quantities
of
cool
water
and
seek
immediate
medical
attention.
