8. Service & Maintenance
Batteries should be carefully inspected on a regular basis in order to detect and correct potential problems before they can do
harm. This routine should be started when the batteries are first received.
8.1 Inspection
• Look for cracks in the case
• Check the battery, terminals and connections to make sure they are clean, free of dirt, fluids and corrosion
• All battery cables and their connections should be tight, intact, and NOT broken or frayed
• Replace any damaged batteries
• Replace any damaged cables
• Check torque on terminal bolts
9. Troubleshooting
9.1 Battery Won’t Turn On
Symptom
Does the battery turn on for a short time then turns itself off?
Description
The battery is likely in a low voltage or low SOC state. Check to
see if the blue light is blinking. This indicates a low voltage or
low SOC condition.
Action
Connect to charger and turn on the battery.
Symptom
Was the battery left on or stored for extended periods of time?
Description
The battery will turn itself off at 5% SOC. If left sitting at a low
SOC, the battery may have discharged itself completely.
Action
Do not use. Replace and recycle.
10. Recycling and Disposal
Batteries must not be mixed with domestic or industrial waste. Discover’s Advanced Energy Systems are recyclable and must be
processed through a recognized recycling agency or dealer. Please contact Discover® or your servicing dealer for details.
