immediately with a solution of water
and baking soda.

Inspect the electrolyte level at least once a
week. If it's low, remove the caps and add
enough distilled water to bring the level
between the upper and lower level
(illustration).

electrolyte with a hydrometer, especially
during cold weather. If it's low, recharge
