 Wash

Underneath the vehicle as well as the outside of the vehicle
Rinse corrosion, dirt, grass, etc. from top of batteries
Rinse between batteries and vehicle frame.
Do not use a pressure washer on inside or outside of vehicle.

 Battery Water Levels

Check water levels monthly, bi-monthly or weekly depending on frequency of use.
We recommend distilled water in batteries.
Only fill when needed - do not over fill.
Only fill after vehicle has been fully charged
*If levels are low or empty, the battery plates will dry out and batteries will no longer take a full charge.
*If levels are overfilled, the battery acid will overflow and will cause corrosion.

 Charging
