Battery Cleaning

Keeping the battery (10653) 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.
