A few examples of troubleshooting battery problems should clarify the procedure.
Example 1
Car No. 68 was suspected of having a bad battery due to its performance. As a result, the battery charger
test was performed. After a full charge, the battery charger ammeter read 8.0 amps. Next, the on-charge volt-
age test was performed and the following results were recorded:
V-Glide 36 volt Vehicle
PowerDrive System 48 Vehicle
*Battery No. 3 appears to be suspect. Batteries No. 1 and No. 4 are also suspect. Next a hydrometer test
should be conducted on all batteries.
Hydrometer test results were as follows:
V-Glide 36 volt Vehicle
PowerDrive System 48 Vehicle
*After the hydrometer test, it appears that battery No. 1 is the problem.
