hecking the batteries on your FMTV is easy—until you get to the rear ones.
The overhang of the truck
bed makes those older kind
of batteries hard to reach.
And when it comes to
checking electrolyte levels,
it’s darn near impossible!
As a result, those rear
battery
cells
are
going
unchecked.
Pretty
soon,
they’re dry as a bone and
completely powerless.
Keep
those
batteries
in business by investing
$4 in a small inspection
mirror, NSN 5120-01-278-
8257. The mirror handle
telescopes up to 15 inches
and
includes
a

-in
mirror that swivels in any
direction.
Add a flashlight and checking those battery cells suddenly becomes easy. You can
also use the mirror to check for battery cracks and leaks.
