1. To correct the electrolyte, remove the battery cell caps from the cells needing level correction. For case of cell level correction a small syringe or plastic funnel should be used. Using a small syringe, carefully idd distilled waler to bring the electrolyte to a level between the upper and lower marks. For ma-:imum battery performance and life, only distilled waler should be added, however, in an emergency situation where electrolyte level is found to be low and distilled water is not available, drinking water or a low mineral content can be used. Reinstall the cell caps.

Note:

  1. Add only distilled water to the battery, never use tap water.
  2. When replacing the battery into the compartment, make sure that the vent tube of the battery is not pinched or blocked.
  3. If unusual high rate of battery electrolyte loss is experienced, consult your Honda dealer for check of the trouble.
