Ground water has minerals in
it that can kill batteries, so don’t
use it. If there’s no other choice,
plain drinking water (not miner-
al water) can be used.
Use a battery syringe or a
battery gravity filler,
NSN
6140-00-635-3824, for precise
filling and help in avoiding
overfilling. Both are in the No.
1 Common shop set.
Tight and Right?
Make sure the caps are in
place on the fill holes. If you
need caps, ask your mechanic
for them from an unservice-
able battery.
Mixing batteries of differ-
ent types is OK, as long as
you don’t use maintenance-
free batteries with the older
style. It’s best to keep 6TLs,
6TLFs and 6TMFs together.

Control the
heat
engines
produce heat.
High summer
or desert
temperatures
just add
more heat.
“Your vehicle’s
cooling system
must
get rid
of, or control,
that heat if
you want to
operate
under those
conditions.”
However,
small
problems in the
cooling system, like
low coolant level
or cracked hoses,
quickly can turn into
big problems.
The system
will
do so,
if
it can
work as
designed.
I’m
dyin’
heah!
this weather
is just adding
more heat to
my already
warm engine!
