Section 5

3.

The individual voltage of each battery may

also be checked using a Multimeter. Connect the
Multimeter to the battery connector (

fi

g. 5.24).

Note: Refer to Battery Removal.

Compare the values to the following.
a.

12.8 VDC indicates a fully charged battery.

b.

The battery readings should be similar.

Newer batteries typically read within .1 to .2
VDC.
c.

13 VDC or more indicates an overcharged

battery, or one that has a surface charge from
being recently removed from the charger. Verify
correct operation of the battery charger if the
batteries have not recently been removed from
charge.
d.

11.9 to 12 VDC indicates a discharged

battery. Recharge as necessary.
e.

Less than 11.9 VDC indicates an excessively

discharged battery.
f.

Values larger than 13 VDC indicate either

an overcharged battery or one that has just been
removed from charge, as in this example.
