(2) Connect charger leads to the remote cables.
Some chargers feature polarity protection circuitry
that prevents operation unless charger is connected
to battery posts correctly. A completely discharged
battery may not have enough voltage to activate this
circuitry. This may happen even though the leads are
connected properly.
(3) Battery chargers vary in the amount of voltage
and current they provide. For the time required for
the battery to accept measurable charger current at
various voltages, refer to (Fig. 12). If charge current
is still not measurable after charging times, the bat-
tery should be replaced. If charge current is measur-
able during charging time, the battery may be good,
and charging should be completed in the normal
manner.
VISUAL INSPECTION AND SERVICE
CAUTION:
Do not allow baking soda solution to
enter vent holes, as damage to battery can result.
(1) Clean battery with a solution of warm water
and baking soda. Apply solution with a bristle brush
and allow to soak until acid deposits loosen (Fig. 14).
Rinse with clear water and blot dry with paper tow-
eling. Dispose of toweling in a safe manner. Refer to
the WARNINGS on top of battery.
(2) Inspect battery case and cover for cracks or
leakage. If leakage is present battery must be
replaced.
(3) Inspect battery tray for damage caused by acid
from battery. If acid damage is present, it will be nec-
essary to clean area with:
•
Baking soda solution
•
Wire brush
•
Scraper
(4) Clean battery terminals with baking soda and
suitable cleaning tool.
(5) Inspect cables for damage and broken termi-
nals. Replace damaged, frayed cables and broken ter-
minal.
(6) Inspect battery for proper or damaged hold
down ledge.
