Battery Storage
When the vehicle is placed in storage for three months or more, the
battery should be removed, stored out of the sun in a cool, dry place
and tested monthly. Before reusing, take the battery to your dealer for
testing and recharging.
Power plug leads m ay need to be bent down so that the battery cover
can be installed.
Replenishing Battery Fluid (Conventional Battery)
A poorly maintained battery will
deteriorate rapidly. Check the battery
fluid l evel often. The fluid level should
be kept between the upper and lower

Battery Charging (Sealed Battery)
The following battery charging instructions apply only to the

instructions before proceeding with the installation of this battery.
The YUASA activated, s ealed battery is already filled with electrolyte
and has been sealed and fully charged at the factory. Do not ever pry
the sealing strip off or add any other fluid t o t his battery.
The single most important thing to maintaining a sealed battery is to
keep it fully charged. Since the battery is sealed and the sealing strip
cannot be removed, you must use a voltmeter or multimeter to measure
DC voltage.
