Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers
BATTERY
A battery is described as two dissimilar metals immersed in an acid. If the acid
is absent or if the metals are not dissimilar, a battery has not been created.
The batteries in this vehicle are lead acid. A battery does not store electricity,
but it can produce electricity as the result of a chemical reaction which releases
stored chemical energy in the form of electrical energy. The chemical reaction
occurs faster in warm conditions and slower in cold conditions. Temperature
is important when conducting tests on a battery and test results must be
corrected to adjust for temperature differences. An older battery can perform
adequately except that its capacity is decreased. Capacity describes the time
that a battery can continue to supply its design amperes from a full charge.
A battery has a maximum life. Good maintenance maximizes the available life
and decreases the conditions that can decrease the life of the battery.
