  2. Yes, only in batteries that require maintenance.
  3. Yes, in all batteries.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, in all batteries.

Yes, on all batteries. Although a maintenance-free battery does not need topping up, dirt and salts still build up on its terminals and, with moisture, drain the battery. Clean the terminals and protect them with petroleum jelly or grease.
