Checking Battery
1. Physical check
−
clean if necessary.
a. Corrosion
b. Dirt
c. Terminal and clamps
(secure
−
good conditions)
2. Bring battery to full charge.

Checking 12 V Battery Cells
(Lead Acid, Wet Cell, With Fill Caps)
CHECK ALL CELLS AF-
TER CHARGING
USE TEMPERATURE
COMPENSATED
HYDROMETER
REPLACE IF READINGS
ARE BELOW 1.225 OR IF
CELLS VARY BY MORE
THAN .50
DO NOT EXCEED CHARGE RATE OF 1/10 AMPERE
FOR EVERY AMPERE OF BATTERY RATING. Consult
battery manufacturer for charging recommendations.
Overcharging may cause battery failure.
a. Use a taper charger (automatically reduces charge
rate).
b. Fill battery cells with distilled water or tap water
(unless maintenance free type) after charging (for
batteries that have been in service). NOTE: If bat-
tery gets “hot” to the touch or is spitting acid (gas-
sing) excessively, unplug charger periodically.
3. With battery fully charged, check specific gravity read-
ings (unless maintenance free type) of each cell with a
Battery Hydrometer and record readings (Fig. 28).
All readings should be above 1.250 (compensating for
temperature). If specific gravity readings varied .50 or if
ALL cells read less than 1.225, replace battery.
