BATTERIES
Flooded batteries must be refilled with
distilled water or demineralized water to avoid
internal damage.
For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the top of
the batteries clean and dry. Also, make certain the
battery cables are always tightly fastened to the
battery terminals.
If you see any corrosion on the batteries or
terminals, remove the cables from the terminals and
clean with a wire brush. You can neutralize the acid
with a solution of baking soda and water.
Caution: If you allow your vehicle to sit in
conditions of -6°C (20°F) or less with a charge
of 20% ( two bars showing on gauge) or less,
the batteries could freeze. Allowing the
batteries to freeze may cause permanent
damage to the batteries and permanently
reduce their capacity. In cold conditions, place
the vehicle in an area greater than 0°C (32°F)
and allow it to warm up before charging. Never
charge the vehicle if the batteries may be
frozen. Allow the batteries to warm above 0°C
(32°F) first, then charge.
Caution: Do not park and leave the vehicle
with discharged batteries. The batteries could
discharge to the point where damage could
occur and the battery charger will not charge.
The vehicle will have to be taken to an
authorized TH!NK dealer if this happens.
Batteries normally produce explosive gases
which can cause personal injury. Therefore,
do not allow flames, sparks or lighted substances
to come near the battery. When working near the
battery, always shield your face and protect your
eyes. Always provide proper ventilation.
