WARNING
All batteries contain electrolyte. Electrolyte is a sulfuric
acid solution that is highly corrosive and can cause
severe chemical burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes,
and clothing. Avoid spillage. Always wear protective face
shield, rubberized gloves and protective clothing when
working with batteries. A warning label is attached to the
top of the battery. See Figure 7-58. and Figure 7-59.
Never remove warning label from battery. Failure to read
and understand all precautions contained in warning
label before performing any service on batteries could
result in death or serious injury.
BATTERY TESTING
Voltmeter Test
See Table 7-1. The voltmeter test provides a general indicator
of battery condition. Check the voltage of the battery to verify
that it is in a 100% fully charged condition. If the open circuit
(disconnected) voltage reading is below 12.6V, charge the
battery and then recheck the voltage after the battery has set
for one to two hours. If the voltage reading is 12.8V or above,
perform the load test.
