Battery Care (Energizer)
Every 6000 miles-Clean terminals
and oil felt washer.
Check the fluid level in each cell of
your battery regularly. The electrolyte
level indicator in the cap of one cell
will glow if the fluid level is low. In
this case each cell should be checked.
Keep filled with distilled water to the
bottom of the split ring in the vent
tube.
Battery-Gas Warning-Since normal
battery or Energizer chemical action
generates hydrogen gas which is ex-
plosive when mixed with air, never
expose the battery to an open flame or
electric spark. Also, avoid getting
battery fluid, which is a sulfuric acid
solution, on skin, on clothing or other
fabric, or on painted surfaces. Eye
protection should be worn while work-
ing on the battery for any reason. For
maximum wattage requirements
specify a Delco Energizer at replace-
ment time.
