It occurred to me that we haven't discussed the battery maintenance yet. As probably all know Murano is equipped with “old” style battery, which requires frequent maintenance. Here is how the battery looks: MO battery
Now how to maintain it (curtousy of hfelknor who posted it on the other forum):
Distilled water.
Often this is around the house anyway as it is used in steam Irons to assure long life.
IF you need to add water (Quite common) pick up the water in the Turkey Baster!
It actually can be much smaller than a Turkey Baster, but I find eye droppers too small. Seems like a chicken baster would be about right.
Slowly add water.
And if you accidentally overfill, take the OLD Cloth and soak up the spill, and throw away the cloth immediately. Wash your hands immediately.
If you splash a little of the acid/water on your clothing, you will end up with holes there, so wear old clothes.
When finished, put the caps back on "hard finger tight".
It's much easier than it sounds.
When this battery goes bad, replace with a Maintenance Free battery of the appropriate size.
A word of warning:
BE SAFETY CONSCIOUS!
