Cleaning Battery Terminals

WARNING
Most batteries are not sold with instructions. However, warnings are frequently
displayed on the cell caps. Read them carefully.
DO NOT allow the liquid in the battery to come in contact with skin, clothes or
other possessions. It is a form of acid and harmful or damaging burns may result.
Should the liquid touch your skin, wash the area immediately and thoroughly with
cool water. In serious cases or if eye contact is made, seek medical attention
immediately.
NEVER smoke or strike a match near batteries. If the caps of the battery cells are
removed, NEVER look directly into them while charging batteries.
1. Examine battery clamps and terminals for corrosion.
2. Verify that the plastic caps are in place over the battery cell holes.
3. Clean the terminals and inside the battery clamps by using a battery cleaning tool,
wire brush, or medium grade sand paper.
NOTE: When done, these areas should be shiny, not dull.
4. Carefully dust off all metal particles.
