BATTERY STORAGE
Disconnect and remove battery from the vehicle (see above)Check electrolyte level in each cell, add distilled water up to upper level lineCAUTION: Do not overfillThe battery must always be stored in fully charged conditionIf required, charge until specific gravity of 1.260 is obtainedCAUTION: Battery electrolyte temperature must not exceed 50C (122F)The casing should not feel hotClean battery terminals and cable connections using wire brushApply light coat of dielectric grease (PN 293 550 004) or petroleum jelly on terminalsClean battery casing and caps using solution of baking soda and waterDo not allow cleaning solution to flow into the battery, otherwise it will destroy the electrolyteRinse battery with clear water and dry well using clean clothStore battery on wooden shelf in cool dry placeSuch conditions reduce self-discharging and keep fluid evaporation to minimumDuring the storage period, recheck electrolyte level and specific gravity readings at least every 40 daysAs necessary, keep the battery at its upper level line and near full charge as possible (trickle charge)
