It is vital :
• to ensure that there is no sulphation on the
terminals,
• to clean and grease the terminals if necessary,
• to check that the nuts are correctly tightened
on the terminals. Incorrect contact could cause
starting faults or charging faults which could
cause sparks, making the battery liable to
explode,
•to check the electrolyte level.
Batteries with sets of removable plugs:
• remove the cover by hand or by using a tool
(stiff spatula),
• check that the electrolyte level in all the cells is
well above the level of the separators,
• if necessary, use demineralised water to top up
the level.
Note: certain types of battery have translucent
bodies which allow the level of the electrolyte to
be seen.
Never add electrolyte or other products to the
battery.
A - CHECKING
Check and ensure that:
• the battery tray and cover are not cracked or
split,
• the top of the battery is clean,
• the terminals are in good condition.
