Performing the Discharge Test, Continued:
3. Check and record the electrolyte temperature of the battery packs.
• V-Glide 36 volt vehicle - check center cell of each battery.
• PowerDrive System 48 vehicle - check cell No. 2 of each battery.
4. Reset discharge machine (or reset timer if using older discharge machine with 36 volt vehicle)
5. Turn the tester on.
6. When the batteries have been discharging for approximately 60 minutes, set the discharge machine to
function 3 and check voltage of the battery set. Check battery set voltage every 10 minutes from this
point through the rest of the test. As soon as the battery set voltage reaches .50 volts above shut-off
point (31.5 volts for V-Glide 36 volt vehicles, and 42.0 volts for PowerDrive System 48 vehicles), use a
VOM to measure individual battery voltages. Measure and record the voltage of each battery to the
nearest .01 volt.
Interpreting Discharge Test Results
1. If discharge time is 60 minutes or higher, the problem is not with the batteries.
2. If discharge times are low (less than 60 minutes), replace all batteries below 5.0 volts (36 V) or below
6.7 volts (48 V).
• ALWAYS WEAR FULL FACE SHIELD AND GLOVES WHEN WORKING WITH BATTERIES.
• BATTERY - EXPLOSIVE GASES! DO NOT SMOKE. KEEP SPARKS AND FLAMES AWAY. VEN-
TILATE WHEN CHARGING OR USING IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE. USE EXTREME CAUTION
WHEN USING TOOLS, WIRES, OR METAL OBJECTS NEAR BATTERIES! A SHORT CIRCUIT
AND (OR) SPARK COULD CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
• BATTERY - POISON! CONTAINS ACID! CAUSES SEVERE BURNS. AVOID CONTACT WITH
SKIN, EYES, OR CLOTHING. ANTIDOTES:
- EXTERNAL: FLUSH WITH WATER. CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
- INTERNAL: DRINK LARGE QUANTITIES OF MILK OR WATER. FOLLOW WITH MILK OF MAG-
NESIA OR VEGETABLE OIL. CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
- EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES. CALL PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
• TURN KEY SWITCH OFF, PLACE FORWARD AND REVERSE LEVER IN THE NEUTRAL POSI-
TION, AND REMOVE KEY BEFORE SERVICING.
• ALWAYS USE INSULATED TOOLS WHEN WORKING NEAR BATTERIES OR ELECTRICAL CON-
NECTIONS.
• THE TESTER WILL SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN SHUT-OFF VOLTAGE IS REACHED.
