    BATTERY SYSTEM ______________________________________________________________________________________________ WARNING! Use extreme caution when working with batteries. Sulfuric acid in batteries can cause severe injury if allowed to contact skin or eyes. Explosive hydrogen gas is vented from inside the batteries through openings in the battery caps. This gas can be ignited by any electrical arc, spark or flame.
  • Page 38: Battery Testing

    BATTERY SYSTEM ______________________________________________________________________________________________ BATTERY TESTING A battery problem is usually recognized by the machine operator, as a decrease in the machine’s running time. This condition is usually caused by one (or more) “dead cell” in the battery system- that is, one (or more) cell that is putting out less voltage than the other cells.
