▼Inspecting Electrolyte Level
A low level of electrolyte fluid will
cause the battery to discharge quickly.
1. Upper level
2. Lower level
Inspect the electrolyte level at least
once a week. If it is low, remove the
caps and add enough distilled water to
bring the level between the upper and
lower level (illustration).
Do not overfill.
Examine the specific gravity of the
electrolyte with a hydrometer,
especially during cold weather. If it is
low, recharge the battery.
▼Battery Recharging
NOTE
xBefore performing maintenance or
recharging the battery, turn off all
accessories and stop the engine.
xTo disconnect the battery, remove
the negative lead first. Install it last
when connecting the battery.
xBe sure to remove the caps before
recharging the battery.
xDo not quick-charge the battery.
xIf the battery quickly discharges
because, for example, the lights
were left on too long with the engine
off, slow-charge it as required by
battery size and charger capacity.
xIf the battery gradually discharges
because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge it
as required by battery size and
charger capacity.
▼Battery Replacement
Contact an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) for a battery replacement
purchase.
