Check for the following:
‹› Battery housing damage. Electrolyte can leak out if the housing is damaged.
‹› Battery posts (battery cable terminals) damaged. Proper contact of connections is not ensured if battery posts are damaged. This may then result in
cable burn-out and electrical system malfunctions.
‹› Battery's original sealing plugs fitted. The sealing plugs must be fitted with an O-ring. Only use sealing plugs of same type (same as original
equipment) if originals are lost or damaged.
