5.1 Service Data
Precautions
* Attentions
1. The battery can be charged and discharged, and used repeatedly. If a battery is laid aside after
discharging, its service life will be shortened and its performance is degraded. Performance of a
battery is usually reduced after about 2-
3 years’ use. Vo
ltage of the performance-reduced (capacity
drops) battery can be resumed, but the voltage will run down quickly while loading.
2. Overcharging of battery: Usually overcharging is demonstrated by the battery itself. If short
circuit occurs inside the battery, voltage or very low voltage on the terminals of the battery cannot
be inspected. If the regulator fails, it will have too high voltage on the battery and the life-span
of the battery will be shortened.
3. When the battery is laid aside for a long period, it will self-discharge and its capacitance will
drop. The battery should be recharged every three months.
5. Charging system inspection: please perform inspection in accordance with the sequence listed
in the fault diagnosis table.
6. If there is current going through the electric parts, the connector shall not be removed, or the
voltage will be very high and electronic components inside the voltage regulator will be damaged.
Set ignition switch at “Off” position and then begin your work.
7. It is not necessary to inspect maintenance-free (dry-charged type) battery. Electrolyte and
distilled water are not required to be added.
