Regularly inspect battery terminals for corrosion. Clean terminals with a wire brush and a mixture of baking soda and water if corrosion is present. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Apply a thin coat of dielectric grease to prevent future corrosion.

5.2 Battery Storage

If storing the battery for an extended period, ensure it is fully charged and stored in a cool, dry place. Periodically check the voltage and recharge if it drops below 12.5V to prevent sulfation.
