Lead-acid Battery Maintenance
To get the best service from a lead-acid battery:
-
Keep it securely mounted.
-
Keep the top clean and dry.
-
Keep terminals and connections clean, tight, and coated with petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
-
Rinse off spilled electrolyte immediately with a solution of water and baking soda.
-
If the vehicle will not be used for an extended time, disconnect the lead-acid battery cables and charge the lead-acid battery every 6 weeks.
