Autumn time: battery hug time. The season is just ending. And it was a great classic season!
Now every ride can be the last ride of the season. And then what happens time and time again: with the idea that one more top day is coming, the classic will be put down and ...
Autumn breaks loose. It rains. It's storming. Winter is coming. Frost snow, rain, Elfstedentocht. And plenty of brine.
And then it is happy again spring and we notice that the battery of our classic has given up the ghost. And that 'OEPS! Moment' makes up for the first quarter for all battery sellers. Because you are not the only one.
Therefore:
* Couple. even if you think it is best to have a great day, the battery terminals will come loose.
* Clean the poles and give them a lick of acid-free vaseline
* Check the fluid level in the cells.
* Secure the battery to the dropper or to such a modern battery massage device as a Ctek or Accumate.
If that beautiful, very last fall day still comes, then you will be ready to ride again. And if it does not come, it will save you the purchase of a new battery when the spring starts again.
