ACDelco Flooded PowerSports Batteries
Charging Instructions:
New Battery Testing:
When checking the condition of a new battery prior to installation,
ACDelco recommends only measuring open circuit voltage (OCV).
ACDelco recommends a minimum installation OCV of 12.4volts.
1. Batteries that fall below 12.4 volts should be recharged, prior to
installation.
2. The battery should be tested with a known, good Digital Volt Ohm
Meter (DVOM).
3. When testing side terminal or top stud batteries, always use Lead
(Pb) terminal adapters. Make sure the terminal adapter makes
good contact with the Lead pad of the battery or inaccurate
readings will result. Basic hand tools may be needed to ensure
the terminal is tight.
4. Never use steal bolts/nuts/washers, etc., when testing a side
terminal battery.
5. Never clamp the tester's leads directly to the threads when
testing a top stud battery with a conductance tester.
Charging Instructions:
