Even if only one element is broken, replace
assembly.
CAUTION:
The silicon rectifier can be
damaged if subjected t o overcharging. Special
care should be taken t o avoid a short circuit
and/or incorrect connection of the positive
and negative leads a t the battery. Never con-
nect the rectifier directly t o the battery t o
make a continuity check.
E. Battery
1. Checking
a. I f battery sulfation (white accumulation)
occurs on plates due to lack of battery elec-
trolyte.
the battery should be replaced.
b. If the bottoms of the cells are filled with
corrosive material falling off the plates,
the battery should be replaced.
c. If the battery shows the following defects,
it should be replaced:
1) The voltage will not rise to a specific value
e v e n after many hours of charging.
2) No
gassing occurs in any cell
The battery requires a charging voltage of
3)
more than regulating voltage in order t o
supply a current o f 1.4A for 10 hours.
2. The service life of a battery is usually 2 t o 3
years, but lack of care as described below will
shorten the l i f e of the battery.
a. Negligence in keeping battery topped o ff with
distilled water.
b. Battery being l e f t discharged.
c. Over-charging with heavy charge.
d. Freezing.
e. Filling with water or sulfuric acid containing
impurities.
Improper charging voltage or current on new
