Battery: Service and Repair
Methods of Preventing Over-Discharge
CAUTION:
If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster
battery and jumper cables:
-
Use a 12-volt booster battery.
-
After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are tightly clamped to battery terminals for good contact.
-
Never add distilled water through the hole used to check specific gravity.
The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-discharging a battery.
-
The battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept clean and dry.
-
The terminal connections should be clean and tight.
-
At every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.
-
When the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of time, disconnect the negative battery terminal. (If the vehicle has an extended
storage switch, turn it off.)
-
Check the charge condition of the battery. Periodically check the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Keep a close check on charge condition to
prevent overdischarge.
