GENERAL INFORMATION

See preceding DANGER and WARNING statements.
Gasoline vehicles are equipped with 12-volt, low-maintenance batteries that requires infrequent watering. When
changing a 12-volt battery in any gasoline-powered vehicle, the same size battery with adequate amperage ratings
should be used as a replacement.
A group 70, side-post battery (CCI P/N 1012328), with a 650 cranking amp rating at 32 °F (0 °C) (500 CCA at 0 °F
(-17.8 °C)) and a reserve capacity of at least 105 minutes is recommended. The group 70 classification indicates
battery size: 8-1/4 inches W x 6-1/2 inches D x 7-1/4 inches H (21.0 cm W x 16.5 cm D x 18.4 cm H). It is important to
use the proper size to ensure that the battery clamp will fit correctly.

TESTING THE BATTERY

See Test Procedure 1 – Battery on page 11-9.
See Test Procedure 23 – Battery Test (Under Load) on page 11-31.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

1. To keep the battery in good operating condition, remove any corrosion immediately. Post connections should be
clean and tight. Any frayed or worn wires should be replaced. After all cables have been connected and properly
tightened to 144 in-lb (16 N·m), coat terminals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305) to
prevent future corrosion. See preceding WARNINGS and following CAUTION.
