Section 14-01: Battery | 1993 Mustang Workshop Manual |
Keeping the battery top clean and dry reduces the need for service and
extends battery life. Also, make certain the cable clamps are tightly fastened
to the battery posts. If corrosion is found, disconnect the cables and clean
clamps and posts with a wire brush. Neutralize the corrosion with a solution of
baking soda and water. After installing cables, apply a small quantity of
Premium Long-Life Grease XG-1-C or -K (ESA-M1C75-B) or equivalent to each
battery post to help prevent corrosion.
