BATTERY ANALYSIS
(Meter reading after 10 seconds with load switch on)
Battery Condition
Load Test
Battery capacity is good. May or may not
be fully charged. Check the state of charge
OK
by checking Specific Gravity (SG) with a
(green band)
hydrometer. If SG is less than full charge, check
for possible charging system trouble. Recharge
battery to full level.
Battery capacity is unsatisfactory. Battery
may be defective, or partly discharged. To
determine which, check SG. If SG is over 1.225,
the battery is considered defective. If SG is
Weak or Bad
below 1.225, recharge battery and re-test. If
(needle steady)
difference in cell to cell SG is greater than
0.025 (2 points), cell trouble may exist. If
charge does not bring SG to full charge level,
then battery is either sulfated, or has lost its
active material.
Battery may be defective (i.e., a bad cell). For
a quick check, release load switch, and note
volt meter reaction. If voltage recovers to its
Weak or Bad
full potential after only a few seconds, the
(needle failing)
battery is probably defective. If the voltage
recovers slowly, the battery may only be very
run down. For more accurate results, check SG
and follow above procedure.
