Before storage, even with a maintenance charger:
-clean the terminals and case
-disconnect one clamp if you're leaving the battery for an extended time
(over a month with charger, over a two weeks without, especially in the
summer when batteries self-discharge faster) -top off any cells with
distilled or deionized water if they're in need (usually, just at the bottom
of a "collar" in each inspection port. Check with the battery manufacturer.
No plate material should be exposed.) Do NOT use tap water under any
circumstances. Check the plate color- they should be roughly uniform.
-fully charge the battery using a proper multi-stage charger with at least
several amps charging current and re-check levels.

Where can a fellow buy DI water?
