Check the level and specific gravity of battery electrolyte every three months. The electrolyte level should be 10-15mm higher than the battery lead plate, and the specific gravity should be above 1.24g/cm³. If the vehicle is not used for a long time and the temperature is low, it is best to remove the battery and put it into a warmer room. Every time the vehicle travels 5000km, it should check whether the clamp between the electrode post and the wire of the battery is loose and whether the battery works normally.
