Check the battery exterior
Check whether the battery is corroded
or the joint is loose or cracked or the
press tool is loose.
a. If the battery has been corroded, you
should use the liquor mixed of warm
water and soda to wash it. Smear
grease to the external joint to avoid
further corrosion.
b. If the joint connector is loose, you
should tighten the nut of the
clight—but not too tightly.
c. Tighten the lockplate until it can
keep the battery fixed in place.
Excessive tightening will damage
the battery box.
