BATTERY TESTING PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check the battery cables.
Remove the negative cable, then the positive cable.
Check for dirty or corroded connections.

Q: Are the battery cables dirty or have corroded

connections?
YES :

Clean the battery cables. Then go to Step 2.

NO :

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the battery post.
Check for loose battery post.

Q: Are the battery posts faulty?

YES :

Replace the battery. Then go to Step 4.

NO :

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the battery case.
(1) Remove the hold-downs.
(2) Check for broken/cracked case.

Q: Is the battery case faulty?

YES :

Replace the battery.

NO :

Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check the open circuit voltage.
(1) Turn headlights on for 15 seconds.
(2) Turn headlights off for two minutes to allow

battery positive voltage to stabilize.

(3) Disconnect the battery cables.
(4) Read open circuit voltage.

Q: Is open circuit voltage 12.4 volts or more?

YES :

Go to Step 6.

NO :

Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Battery charging
With 5 amp from the current voltage, charge the bat-
tery by referring to the Graph 1.

Q: Is open circuit voltage 12.4 volts or more?

YES :

Go to Step 6.

NO :

Replace the battery.

STEP 6. Check the load test.
(1) Connect a load tester to the battery.
(2) Load the battery at the recommended discharge

rate (See LOAD TEST RATE CHART) for 15
seconds.

(3) Read voltage after 15 seconds, then remove

load.

(4) Compare the measured value with the minimum

voltage (See LOAD TEST CHART).

Q: Is the voltage higher than minimum voltage?

YES :

The battery is normal.

NO :

Replace the battery.
