battery cells. When operating at ambient temperatures above
90˚F (32˚C), check the electrolyte level more frequently.
[MC21340(ALL)05/96]
If the level of the electrolyte in a cell of the battery is low, add
distilled water until the proper level in each cell is restored.
Plain tap water will work; but if it is “hard water” having a
high mineral or alkali content, the life of the battery may be
reduced and the frequency of maintenance required on the
battery will increase.
