ELECTRICAL 11 !! WARNING: Never add acid to a battery. BATTERY CLEANING  Batteries seem to attract dust, dirt, and grime. Keeping them clean will help you spot trouble signs if they appear and avoid associated prob- lems.  Check that all vent caps are tightly in place  Clean the battery top with a cloth or brush and a solution of baking soda and water.  When cleaning, do not allow any cleaning solu- tion or other foreign matter to get inside the battery. ( Flooded batteries )  Rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth.  Clean battery terminals and the inside of cable clamps using a post and clamp cleaner.  Clean terminals will have a bright metallic shine.  Reconnect the clamps to the terminals and thin- ly coat them with petroleum jelly ( Vaseline ) to prevent corrosion.  Keep the area around batteries clean and dry.
