Battery maintenance is crucial to prevent being stranded with a dead battery. Before servicing the battery, always turn off the engine and disconnect the cable from the negative terminal. A sealed battery is standard, but if an aftermarket battery requires maintenance, check the electrolyte level in each cell and add distilled water if necessary. Ensure that the positive terminal and cable clamp are not damaged and cover the terminal completely. Periodically check the external condition of the battery for any damage. Inspect the tightness of the battery cable clamps and look for cracked or abraded insulation. If corrosion is present, remove the cables, clean them, and reinstall them. Check the battery carrier and hold-down clamp for good condition and tightness. Remove corrosion with a water and baking soda solution and coat damaged metal parts with a zinc-based primer. For charging, remove cell caps (if equipped) and cover the holes. Connect the battery charger leads to the battery posts and set the charger to 12 volts. Regularly check the battery during charging to prevent overheating. Measure the specific gravity with a hydrometer during the last few hours of charging. Some batteries have built-in hydrometers or use a digital voltmeter to check the charge.
