Using Battery Voltage Method

  1. Inspect the battery as follows after removing the battery filler caps, checking the water level, and adding water to the appropriate level if needed:
    Step Inspection Action
    1 Measure the battery positive voltage. 12.4 V or more Go to Step 3.
    Less than 12.4 V Go to the next step.
    2 Quick charge for 30 min  and recheck voltage. 12.4 V or more Go to the next step.
    Less than 12.4 V Replace the battery.
    3 Using the battery load tester, apply load current (see battery load test current) and record battery voltage after 15 s  . Is voltage more than the specification? Yes Normal
    No Replace the battery.
