BAITERY INSPECTION
BATTERY VISUAL INSPECTION (1)
The battery contains a visual test indicator which gives blue
signal when an adequate charge level exists, and white
signal when charging is required.
BAlTERY VlSUAL INSPECTION (2)
Make sure ignition switch is in Off position and all battery
feed accessories are Off.
1. Disconnect ground cable from battery before disconnect-
ing (+) cable.

2. Remove battery from vehicle.
Caution
Care should be taken in the event battery case is
cracked or leaking to protect hands from the electro-
lyte. A suitable pair or rubber gloves (not the house-
hold type) should be worn when removing battery by
hand.
3. Inspect battery carrier for damage caused by loss of acid
from battery. If acid damage is present, it will be neces-
sary to clean area with a solution of clean warm water
and backing soda. Scrub area with a stiff bristle brush and
wipe off with a cloth moistened with ammonia or baking
soda in water.
4. Clean top of battery with same solutions, as described in
Step (3).
5. Inspect battery case and cover for cracks. If cracks are
present, battery must be replaced.
6. Clean the battery post with a suitable battery post clean-
ing tool.
| I L | OAD TEST | RATE CHAR | T I |
|---|---|---|---|
| 210A | 433 A | 79 minutes | 55B’24R(StMf |
| 240 A | 490 A | 123 minutes | 75026R-MF |
7. Clean the inside surfaces of the terminal clamps with a
suitable battery terminal cleaning tool. Replace damaged
or frayed cables and broken terminals clamps.
8. Install the battery in vehicle.
9. Connect (+) and (-) cables to battery in the order of
mention.
10. Tighten the clamp nut securely.
OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE TEST (3)
| LO | AD TEST CHAR | T |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum | Tempe | rature |
| Voltage | F” | c” |
| 9.6 | 70 and above | 21 and above |
| 9.5 | 60 | 16 |
| 9.4 | 50 | 10 |
| 9.3 | 40 | 4 |
| 9.1 | 30 | -1 |
1. Turn headlamps on for 15 seconds.
2. Turn headlamps off for 2 minutes to allow battery voltage
to stabilize.
3. Disconnect cables.
4. Read open circuit voltage.
5. If the open circuit voltage is under 12.4 volts. charge the
battery. (See BATTERY CHARGING)
LOAD TEST (4)
1. Connect a load tester to the battery.
2. Load the battery at 15 amp for 15 seconds to remove
surface charges.
3. Load the battery at the recommended discharge rate.
(See ROAD TEST RATE CHART)
4. Read voltage after 15 seconds then remove the load.
5. If the voltage is not maintained at the minimum voltage in
the LOAD TEST CHART throughout the test, the battery
should be replaced.
Note
The temperature is an ambient tempera-
ture of the battery that has been exposed
to for the preceding few hours.
