Check the water level in all the batteries.
Take off the battery cables and clean the cable end, as well as the battery post. If you notice any cable making "crunching" noises, replace it. There is corrosion in the cable. Also check the ends for corosion. If any part of the cable has a bulge in it, that's probably corrosion as well.
Clean the connection at the starter from the batteries. Be sure to disconnect the negative side of the batteries or you will be in for a big surprise :wink:
Check the water level in the batteries?????what the frack!
you mean the acid level don't you......
man you running some old "wet" batteries!!!! lead core batterie-- those haven't been used in years.
Q. Why do you check the acid level ??
A. To determine whether or not you need to add water to the solution ... thus the statement "check the water".
You can check the water in most modern batteries... unless they specify; "maintenance-free".
Unless you're running gel cells or AGMs, you have wet-cell batteries as well.
well all of my batteries are SEALED silver-cadmium batteries---no vent caps and where as I know they are "wet cell"---they are not Lead-acid//and are sealed with no way to "add water"-----which isn't recommended unless you run around with a jug of distilled water on you.
most people add--fresh electrolyte
except MacGyver---I watched him add RED WINE to some dead batteries and bring them back to life.
