NOTE:
Since MF batteries are sealed, it is not possi-
ble to check the charge state of the battery by
measuring the specific gravity of the electro-
lyte. Therefore, the charge of the battery has
to be checked by measuring the voltage at the
battery terminals.
1. Remove:
●
Battery cover
2. Disconnect:
●
Battery leads
(from the battery terminals)
CAUTION:
First, disconnect the negative battery lead
1
, and then the positive battery lead
2
.
3. Remove:
●
Battery
4. Measure:
●
Battery charge
Measurement steps:
●
Connect a pocket tester 1 to the battery
terminals.
Tester positive probe
→
battery positive terminal
Tester negative probe
→
battery negative terminal
NOTE:
●
The charge state of an MF battery can be
checked by measuring its open-circuit
voltage (i.e., the voltage when the positive
terminal is disconnected).
●
No charging is necessary when the open-
circuit voltage equals or exceeds 12.8 V.
