Mitsubishi Outlander: Checking battery electrolyte level
Mitsubishi Carisma / Mitsubishi Carisma Owner's Manual / Maintenance / Battery / Checking battery electrolyte level
The electrolyte level must be between the “max” and “min” marks stamped on the outside of the battery. Replenish with distilled water as necessary.
The inside of the battery is divided into several compartments; remove the cap from each compartment and fill to the “max” mark. Do not over-replenish beyond the “max” mark because spillage during driving could cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once every four weeks, depending on the operating conditions.
If the battery is not used, it will discharge by itself with time. Check it once every four weeks and charge with low current as necessary.
