For maintenance-free battery (cap-less
type), you need not add water. For tradi-
tional type battery, which has water filler
caps, the level of the battery solution must
be kept between the upper level line (1)
and lower level line (2) at all times. If the
level is found to be below the lower level
line (2), add distilled water to the upper
level line (1). You should periodically check
the battery, battery terminals, and battery
hold-down bracket for corrosion. Remove
corrosion using a stiff brush and ammonia
mixed with water, or baking soda mixed
with water. After removing corrosion, rinse
with clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable
from the negative terminal of the battery to
help prevent discharge.
