BATTERIES
Batteries contain acid that can be harmful. Therefore, special care must be taken
when handling.
Testing and Water Level
Each battery should measure at least 12.8V fully charged. Before charging,
ensure the water level for each cell of the batteries is at least slightly above the
plates as shown below. If any battery cannot be charged to this level, ensure
the water level is where it should be, per the instructions below. If the water
level is good and the battery(ies) still will not hold 12.8V or higher, check the
specific gravity for each cell.
1.
Open the vent caps and look inside the fill wells.
2.
Check electrolyte level; the minimum level is at the top of the plates.
3.
If necessary add just enough water to cover the plates at this time and
replace the vent caps.
4.
Put batteries on a complete charge before adding any additional water (refer
to Raise vehicle slightly and remove jack stands and lower vehicle.
Charging below).
6.
Once charging is completed, open the vent caps and look inside the fill wells.
7.
Add water until the electrolyte level is 1/8" below the bottom of the fill well.
8.
A piece of rubber can be used safely as a dipstick to help determine this
level.
9.
Clean, replace, and tighten all vent caps.
Replacement
Each battery in the system should be the same make and model. Replacing a
battery with one of a different rating may hinder vehicle performance and fail
prematurely.
To remove one or more batteries:
Water level above this point
before charging.
