Keep a fully charged battery dormant. Keep a battery at least partially freed of sulfation and the loss of capacity.
The water level regularly. Maintain the necessary high level 1/4above plates.
Use distilled water, trace elements and / or chlorine in tap water really shorten the battery life.
Hold the top of the box clean and dry. Moisture, dirt and acid in the battery compartment, can short-circuit the battery terminals is low.
Keep the terminals and cable terminals free of corrosion. Use a brush to remove corrosion. The arms of both terminals and clamps with petroleum jelly (not grease) to prevent future corrosion.
A 12-volt battery reads about 12.7 VDC with a full charge and flat when voltage drops to approximately 10.7 VDC.
Fill the cells after loading. When completed before the expansion for the charge pump in the top of the battery electrolyte, which is a corrosive waste and reduce the level of battery acid.
