General Information
See preceding DANGER and WARNING statements.
Gasoline vehicles are equipped with 12-volt, low-maintenance batteries that requires infrequent watering.
When changing a 12-volt battery in any gasoline-powered vehicle, the same size battery with adequate
amperage ratings should be used as a replacement.
A group 70, side-post battery (CCI P/N 1012328), with a 650 cranking amp rating at 32 °F (0 °C) (500 CCA at
0 °F (-17.8 °C)) and a reserve capacity of at least 105 minutes is recommended. The group 70 classification
indicates battery size: 8-1/4 inches W x 6-1/2 inches D x 7-1/4 inches H (21.0 cm W x 16.5 cm D x 18.4 cm
H). It is important to use the proper size to ensure that the battery clamp will fit correctly.
Testing the Battery
See Test Procedure 1 – Battery on page 11-9.
See Test Procedure 24 – Battery Test (Under Load) on page 11-31..
Preventive Maintenance
1. To keep the battery in good operating condition, remove any corrosion immediately. Post connections
should be clean and tight. Any frayed or worn wires should be replaced. After all cables have been con-
nected and properly tightened to 144 in-lb (16 N·m), coat terminals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray
(CCI P/N 1014305) to prevent future corrosion.
