ELECTRICAL

LOAD TEST

CAUTION
To prevent shock or component damage, remove spark
plug high tension leads and connect securely to engine
ground before proceeding.
A battery may indicate a full charge condition in the OCV
test, but still may not have the storage capacity
necessary to properly function in the electrical system.
For this reason, a battery capacity or load test should be
conducted whenever poor battery performance is
encountered.
To perform this test, use a load testing device that has an
adjustable load. Apply a load of three times the ampere-
hour rating. At 14 seconds into the test, check battery
voltage. A good 12V battery will have at least 10.5 volts.
If the reading is low, charge the battery and retest.
