Avoid overdischarge. Overdischarge will shorten the life of battery. You must avoid driving until the very moment that a vehicle can no longer move. Avoid overcharging. Overcharging will cause the short life of the battery. The battery must be charged by proper method. Avoid over-heating of the battery. Always keep the temperature of the electrolyte Keep the electrolyte level Electrolyte level gradually lowers during service. When the electrolyte level decreases, fill in purified water at once. Use of fire strictly prohibited. Since hydrogen and oxygen are released through the vent plugs of the...
