Batteries
DIAGNOSTICS
1-3
SYMPTOM: SHORT BATTERY LIFE
Possible cause
Remedy
Wrong type of battery chosen (for example, in
the case of tail lifts)
Install Super Heavy Duty or semi-traction battery
Often too deeply discharged
Intermediate charging with rectifier
No recharging after deep discharge
(white deposits)
Always charge the battery after deep discharge
SYMPTOM: BATTERY HOT DURING OPERATION WITH EXCESSIVE WATER CONSUMPTION
Possible cause
Remedy
Overloading, or charging voltage too high
Check the charger (voltage regulator)
SYMPTOM: BATTERY HAS EXPLODED
Possible cause
Remedy
Fire or sparks during or just after charging
Ensure good ventilation and exercise due
caution as regards fire and sparks
Short-circuiting by tools
Be careful where tools are put down
Internal defect (loose connection)
Replace the battery
SYMPTOM: DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR AND/OR DIODES (RADIO AND OTHER
POLARITY SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT NOT WORKING)
Possible cause
Remedy
Reversed battery polarity, or incorrect charging
Discharge the battery and charge in the correct
direction
If necessary, replace the battery
SYMPTOM: BATTERY IS INACTIVE (NO VOLTAGE)
Possible cause
Remedy
Internal open circuit
Replace the battery
Battery very deeply discharged
Charge the battery and test it; replace if
necessary

1.2 SERVICE LIFE
The service life of a battery is significantly
shortened if it is used ‘cyclically’.
This means that the batteries are used a lot
without their being charged.
For example when using a tail lift, cab heater,
microwave oven and a cooler box.
This is why batteries in commercial vehicles and
vehicles used for international transport often fail
prematurely (within 1.5 years).
The battery must be charged whenever the
voltage measured across the battery falls below
12.5 V. If the battery is not charged, the
‘sulphating’ process will begin.
This is a chemical reaction in the battery that
produces lead sulphate. Lead sulphate adheres
to the battery plates and can cause
short circuiting between the plates, reducing the
capacity of the battery.
However, most lead sulphate breaks down when
the battery is recharged.
If a battery is used (discharged) while it is not
being charged by the alternator, short circuiting
between the battery plates will occur sooner.
This reduces the capacity and consequently the
service life of the battery.

2. ALTERNATOR
2.1 FAULT-FINDING TABLE
SYMPTOM: ALTERNATOR NOT PRODUCING POWER WHEN IDLING
Possible cause
Remedy
Open circuit in connection 15 on alternator
Repair connection 15
Connection 15 on alternator short circuited to
earth
Repair connection 15
Internal defect
Replace regulator
SYMPTOM: ALTERNATOR WARNING (YELLOW)
Possible cause
Remedy
Open circuit in ‘S’ connection
Measure the regulated alternator voltage with as
many consumers as possible switched on and
with the engine turning above idling speed
Open circuit in ‘L’ connection
Check/repair wiring
Open circuit in connection 15
Increase the engine speed to approx. 1500 rpm.
If voltage is still present, check connection 15 on
the alternator
Voltage difference between ‘B+’ and ‘S’
connections is greater than 2.5 V
Check all contacts between alternator and
batteries (contact resistances). Internal battery
resistance too high.
Voltage too low
<16 V
Check alternator drive. Check wiring on contact
resistances
Check regulated voltage
Open circuit in voltage regulator
Replace voltage regulator
SYMPTOM: ALTERNATOR VOLTAGE HIGH (RED)
Possible cause
Remedy
Voltage too high
>31 V
Measure voltage
Internal defect
Replace regulator/alternator
