BATTERY: GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Always keep the battery cables and terminals free of corrosion. Check and clean these components about once a year. Keep the top of the battery clean, as film of dirt can help discharge a battery that is not used for long periods. A solution of baking soda and water may be used for cleaning, but be careful to flush this off with clear water. DO NOT let any of the solution into the filler holes. Baking soda neutralizes battery acid and will de-activate a battery cell. Batteries in vehicles which are not operated on a regular basis can fall victim to parasitic loads (small current drains which are constantly drawing current from the battery). Normal parasitic loads may drain a battery on a vehicle that is in storage and not used for 6-8 weeks. Vehicles that have additional accessories such as a phone or an alarm system may discharge a battery sooner. If the vehicle is to be stored for longer periods in a secure area and the alarm system is not necessary, the negative battery cable should be disconnected to protect the battery. Remember that constantly deep cycling a battery (completely discharging and recharging it) will shorten battery life.

A great and comprehensive repair shop manual for the do-it-yourselfer who wants to maintain or service his own vehicle.

Proper maintenance and tune-ups are the keys to the vehicle's long and trouble-free life. Studies have shown that a properly tuned and maintained vehicle can achieve better gas mileage when compared to an out-of-tune vehicle.
