Tech NOTE: AT ALL TIMES - Keep your battery fully charged 24/7 with a low-current maintenance charger and have the radiator/reservoir refilled annually with fresh engine coolant. This will help prevent electrical damage to the starter motor and alternator and will reduce accelerated corrosion of the cooling system & aluminum engine block components.
