Store the vehicle in a cool, dry place. This will minimize battery self-discharge. If the battery appears to be weak,
have it charged by a trained technician. Use an automotive-type 12-volt battery charger rated at 10 amps or
less. Check electrolyte level after charging and add distilled water if necessary. If the battery is dead, see
Using A Booster Battery (Jump Starting) on page 53.
