CHECKING FOR LOSS OF CURRENT
Check for loss of current before you check the voltage
regulator-rectifier.
– Switch off the ignition and disconnect the ground
cable (1) from the battery.
– Clamp an ampmeter between the ground cable and
the negative pole (2) of the battery.
Setpoint value: max. 2 mA
– If the value is lower than the setpoint value, look for
power consumers.
For example:
– Defective voltage regulator-rectifier
– Creepage current in the socket connectors
DISMOUNTING/MOUNTING THE BATTERY
– see pages B2 and B6.
CAUTION: when you dismount the battery,
disconnect the negative pole and then the
positive pole. When you mount the battery,
connect the positive pole and then the negative
pole to the battery.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
– Check the charging level before you charge the
battery. To check the charging level, use a voltmeter to
measure the voltage between the battery poles (off load
voltage). Tolerance of the measuring device max. 1 %.
– For the measurement to be accurate, the battery
should not have been charged or discharged for at
least 30 minutes.
– If you cannot determine the charging level, do not
load the battery for more than 10 hours with 0.5
amperes and a maximum of 14.4 volts.
CAUTION: do not remove the locking strips.
To load, connect the battery to the battery
charger before you switch on the battery
charger.
If you are charging the battery in a closed
room, make sure it is well ventilated. The
battery
produces
charging. If the battery is charged too long or
at an excessive voltage, acid will leak through
the safety valves and the battery will lose
capacity.
Avoid quick charges if possible.
