Battery Inspection & Maintenance

Inspection

There are many tools that may help in properly caring for and maintaining
batteries. Below is a list of basic items that ACG & Trojan recommends for this
task:
Recommended Equipment:
3.) Wrench
4.) Distilled Water
5.) Voltmeter
6.) Hydrometer
Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles when
handling batteries, electrolyte, and charging your battery.
Batteries should be carefully inspected on a regular basis in order to detect and
correct potential problems before they can do harm. It is a great idea to start this
routine when the batteries are first received.
Inspection Guidelines:
1. Examine the outside appearance of the battery.
3.) Look for cracks in the container.
4.) The top of the battery, posts, and connections should be clean, free
of dirt, fluids, and corrosion. If batteries are dirty, refer to the Cleaning
section for the proper cleaning procedure.
5.) Repair or replace any damaged batteries.
2. Any fluids on or around the battery may be an indication that electrolyte is
spilling, leaching, or leaking out.
4.) Leaking batteries must be repaired or replaced.
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.
