Battery Handling and Storage

Battery

Batteries should be stored in a cool, dry place (27 °C) away from direct sunlight. MF batteries are sealed to prevent acid leakage. However, tilting the battery at an angle of 45 degrees may cause acid to leak out through the vent holes on the sides. Therefore, batteries must always be stored in an upright position. Do not place any liquids or objects (such as conductors) on top of the battery. It is extremely dangerous to use tools such as hammers on the battery terminals when connecting cables to an installed battery.

Battery Installed in the Vehicle

When storing the vehicle for a long period, be sure to remove the battery fuse from the fuse box to prevent natural discharge. If the vehicle is stored with the battery fuse connected, start the engine to charge the battery within one month from the start of vehicle storage. If the vehicle is stored with the battery fuse removed, start the engine to charge the battery within three months from the start of vehicle storage.
