Keep the battery top clean and dry to reduce the need for service and extend battery life. Also make certain the cable clamps are tightly fastened to the
battery posts. If corrosion is found, disconnect the cables and clean clamps and posts with a wire brush. Neutralize the corrosion with a solution of
baking soda and water. After installing cables, apply a small quantity of Premium Long-Life Grease XG-1-C or XG-1-K or equivalent meeting Ford
specification ESA-M1C75-B to each battery post to help prevent corrosion.
Water Addition
Some batteries have removable vent caps and may occasionally require the addition of water. If the electrolyte level is below the level indicator in any
cell, add enough pure water to bring the level up to the indicator. In a battery without a level indicator, maintain electrolyte level at 6.3 to 12.7 mm (0.25
to 0.5 inch) above the plates. Never add electrolyte (battery acid) to the battery. This could shorten the life of the battery.
