Guidelines for Usage, Maintenance and Safety for Lead Acid Battery

1. GOODYEAR Batteries are supplied in filled and charged condition.
2. The Battery should be firmly secured in the cradle. Please ensure that cable clamps are fitted tightly and properly on the battery terminals. A loosely held battery vibrates and bounces during running, which may cause damage to container and plates of battery.
3. Ensure positive and negative terminals are connected properly & correctly, according to the polarity. Top of the battery must be kept clean and dry all the times. Dirt and Moisture on terminals may cause loss of power & makes the battery weak.
4. Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) should be applied on cable clamps & terminals of the battery to avoid corrosion. Never apply grease.
5. The battery is maintenance free (2W & 4W), Do not attempt to open the battery or its vent plug.
6. The regulator/alternator charging voltage measured across the battery terminals must be maintained between 14.00V to 14.40volts. Excessive voltage than specified, would overcharge the battery, leading to loss of electrolyte & premature failure of battery. Lesser voltage than specified would discharge the battery and the battery would become weak.
7. Top up of distilled water is required in Inverter battery as and when required, do not let the battery drain.
8. For superior performance and maximum life of battery, it is advised to check the regulator/charging system of vehicle once in every three months for recommended output voltage. A faulty electrical system will damage the battery.
9. Recharging is necessary, in instance of the battery in discharged condition due to long idling period for more than 3 to 4 weeks.
