TEST PROCEDURE 7 – BATTERY STATE OF CHARGE TEST
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. See additional WARNING on page 5-1.
1. With the batteries fully charged, disconnect the DC charger plug for approximately 20 seconds and then
reconnect it. The ammeter should jump to a reading between 12 and 14 amps and then taper to below
5 amps within 15 minutes.
2. If the charger does not taper to below 5 amps within 15 minutes, batteries may not be receiving a full
charge and the onboard computer should be checked.
See Test Procedure 2 – Onboard Computer on
page 5-15.
NOTE:
Batteries near the end of their useful lives may not allow the battery charge current to taper below
5 amps.
See Section 13 – Batteries in the appropriate maintenance and service manual.
TEST PROCEDURE 8 – CONTINUITY
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. See additional WARNING on page 5-1.
Fuse
1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.
2. Remove the charger cover.
3. Disconnect the DC cord black wire from the fuse and position it so it does not touch any metal part of the
charger
(Figure 5-18, Page 5-24)
.
4. Using a multimeter set for 200 ohms, place the red (+) probe on one fuse terminal and the black (–) probe
on the other fuse terminal. The tester should indicate continuity. If the tester does not indicate continuity,
then the fuse has failed and must be replaced.
