sulphated, unscrew them, clean them, and soak the felt insulating
washers in castor oil or in neutral vaseline oil. If the vehicle is not \
in use, recharge the battery every month.
In Winter, a correct charge protects against frost. The battery
charged normally (a density of 1.25 to 1.27) resists to -50C (-58F),\
whilst a discharged battery (density 1.07 to 1.09) may burst at -5C
(23F).
Do not disconnect the leads from the terminals when the engine
is running.
Never recharge the battery without first having disconnecting
the leads from the two terminals.
