  • Keep terminals and connections clean, tight, and coated with petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
  • Rinse off spilled electrolyte immediately with a solution of water and baking soda.
  • If the vehicle will not be used for an extended time, disconnect the battery cables and charge the battery every six weeks.
