Distilled water can be available easily from any petrol pump. or from the nearest battery dealer. Always remember to fill the battery with sufficient water so it can run smoothly. Each battery comes with 6 water indicators which shows when to fill the water.
  4. Always clean the battery terminal to remove carbon - When the battery is working, a layer of carbon attaches to its terminals and creates problems in working and sometimes even short-circuits. It is suggested to clean the terminal with hot water to remove all carbon.
  5. Apply petroleum jelly on battery terminal - After cleaning the battery terminal, it is advisable to apply petroleum jelly to the battery terminal to increase the life of the battery. Petroleum jelly can be available with the nearest inverter battery dealer.
