Cleanliness of the battery and, in particular, its upper surface is especially important, since it accumulates on the dirt layer easily forms conductive tracks which lead to self-discharge of the battery. Cleanliness is important not only for the service of the battery, as well as for maintenance-free batteries, which, despite its name, is not completely unattended.
Check the tightness of the connection terminals of the battery (A), and the integrity of the insulation of the wires (B).
