Methods of Preventing Over-Discharge

The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-discharging a battery.
^ The battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept clean and dry.
^ The terminal connections should be clean and tight.
^ At every routine maintenance,m check the electrolyte level.



^ When the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of time, disconnect the negative battery terminal. (If the vehicle has an extended storage switch, turn it off.)



^ Check the charge condition of the battery.
Periodically check the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Keep the close check on charge condition to prevent overdischarge.
