1. Battery electrolyte
Reinstall caps and clean any electrolyte spillage
using a solution of baking soda and water.
A17E0LA

1. Baking soda
CAUTION: Do not allow cleaning solution to en-
ter battery interior since it will destroy the elec-
trolyte.
NOTE: It is recommended to verify the battery
charge once a month. If necessary, fully charge
battery.
SERVICING
Electrolyte Level
Skandic LT E
Since a battery has been activated (see above),
add distilled water to top up electrolyte.
BATTERY CHARGING
Tips for Charging a Used Battery
Skandic LT E
CAUTION: Prior to charging the battery, al-
ways remove it from the vehicle to prevent
electrolyte spillage.
For best results, battery should be charged when
the electrolyte and the plates are at room tempera-
ture. A battery that is cold may not accept current
for several hours after charging begun.
Do not charge frozen battery. If the battery charge
is very low, the battery may freeze. If it is suspect-
ed to be frozen, keep it in a heated area for about
2 hours before charging.
WARNING
Do not place battery near open flame.
Time required to charge a battery will vary depend-
ing some factors such as:
Battery temperature: Charging time is in-
creased as the temperature goes down. The
current accepted by a cold battery will remain
low. As the battery warms up, it will accept a
higher rate of charge.
State of charge: Because the electrolyte is near-
ly pure water in a completely discharged bat-
tery, it cannot accept current as well as elec-
trolyte. This is the reason the battery will not
accept current when the charging cycle first be-
gins. As the battery remains on the charger, the
current from the charger causes the electrolytic
acid content to rise which makes the electrolyte
a better conductor and then, the battery will ac-
cept a higher charging rate.
Type of charger: Battery chargers vary in the
amount of voltage and current that they can
supply. Therefore, time required for the battery
to begin accepting measurable current will also
vary.
