Battery Inspection
Batteries should be carefully inspected on a regular basis in order to detect and correct potential prob-
lems before they can do harm. Following is a guideline of what to look for:
1. Examine the outside appearance of the battery. Replace any damaged batteries.
• Look for cracks or bulges in the container. Batteries with cracked or bulged/distorted contain
-
ers must be replaced.
• Replace the battery if the posts appear to be loose or moveable.
• The top of the battery, posts, and connections should be clean and free of dirt, fluids, and
corrosion. If batteries are dirty, refer to the “Battery Cleaning” section below for the proper
cleaning procedure.
• Batteries that smell of sulfur (like a rotten egg) must be replaced.
2. Any fluids on or around the battery may be an indication that electrolyte is spilling, leaching, or
leaking out. Leaking batteries must be replaced. Fluid on top of the battery may indicate over-
charging or overfilling of the battery—see “Filling Procedure” below.
3. Check all battery cables and their connections.
• Look closely for loose or damaged parts.
• Battery cables should be intact.
Broken or frayed cables can be extremely hazardous.
• Replace any cable that looks suspicious or exhibits chaffing wear.
4. Tighten all wiring connections to the proper specification. Make certain there is good contact
with the terminals.
5. Make sure the battery is secure in the hold-down.
