Steps for Battery Installation

Step 1: Turn OFF the engine.

Step 2: Disconnect the negative cable followed by the positive one.

Step 3: Loosen the clamps and dismantle the battery. Avoid using a hammer on the cable terminals as it may result in damaging the lid, internal post connections or post lid insert connections.

Step 4: Place the new battery firmly in the cradle and check if the starter, alternator and voltage regulation are operating correctly.

Step 5: Connect the positive cable and then the negative cable.

Dos and Don’ts

Dos

When cleaning your battery, use a moist cotton cloth and disconnect the negative cable before the positive one. Next, tighten your clamps and apply petroleum jelly. Check the output of the voltage regulator as both overcharging and undercharging can reduce the life of the battery. Recharge your battery only at the recommended current (amps).

Don’ts

Avoid storing the battery sideways. Do not install a lower capacity battery than recommended or interfere with the current charging setting in order to quickly charge the battery as this will seriously affect the battery’s life. While charging, do not connect or remove the battery from the charging circuit while the charger is on, please wait till the display shows “Charge finish”.
