TIPS TO MAINTAIN A BATTERY



  • The battery should be firmly secured in the cradle. The cable clamps/Lead wire contact should be proper.




  • The top of the battery must be kept clean and dry. Petroleum jelly/ Vaseline should be applied to cable clamps and terminals. Never apply grease.
    Top up only with distilled water, maintaining the level at the max line. Never add acid.

  • Keep the vent plugs tightly closed

  • Do not allow the vent hose in the motorcycle battery to be folded, pinched or melted by the exhaust system.


  • Get your vehicle?s electrical system regularly checked. Especially the regulator voltage setting.

  • Get your battery serviced regularly from your nearby authorised Exide dealer.
