Battery Maintenance Tips
Mercury Elite 220Ah Tall Tubular Battery
- Battery top should always be kept clean and dry.  Always use moist cotton cloth only. Never use woolen / Silk or Synthetic cloth as it can create a spark.
- Apply Protection Jelly (Vaseline) externally over the terminals and cable clamps to avoid corrosions. Â Never apply grease. Terminal corrosion, dirt, and moisture causes loss of power and makes the battery weak.
- The electrolyte level should be maintained as per the level indicator on the battery during installation or while topping up. Â Do not top up with acid/electrolyte/ mineral water or tap water.
- Water loss will happen during usage. Â Check your battery regularly and maintain the electrolyte level within the band as per marks indicated.
- Match charger to the battery

- Charging current (A) 10% of C20 capacity with maximum champ voltage of 14.5V
