Electrolyte Level Inspection (MF Openable Battery only)
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Check that the electrolyte level lies between the "UPPER" and the "LOWER" lines.
- If the electrolyte level is below the "LOWER" line, add water until the level of electrolyte comes up to the "UPPER" level.
- Remove the cell caps (A) and then carefully add distilled or purified water to bring the level of electrolyte in each cell to the "UPPER" line.
- Put the cell caps back on the battery.
- Charge the battery to mix the water and residual acid in the battery.NOTE:
- Never use the water with impurities or additives to fill the battery cells. It will reduce the life and performance of the battery.
- Do not overfill the battery cells. It may result in an "overflow" of the acid electrolyte and cause corrosion on adjacent metal parts, performance deterioration and shortening the life span.
- Make sure the cell caps are installed securely before charging the battery after filling the battery cells.
