For maintenance-free battery (cap-less type), you need not add water. For tradi
tional type battery, which has water filler caps, the level of the battery solution must
be kept between the "UPPER" and the "LOWER" level lines at all times. If the level is found to be below the "LOWER" level
line, add distilled water to the "UPPER"
level line. You should periodically check the
battery, battery terminals, and battery hold-down bracket for corrosion. Remove
corrosion using a stiff brush and ammonia
mixed with water, or baking soda mixed
with water. After removing corrosion, rinse
with
clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery to help prevent discharge.
