Electrical System - general notes - Edition 12.2021
Check the colour indicator of the magic eye
Note
When recharging the battery via a charger or during operation,
air locks can form under the magic eye, which can distort the
indicator regarding the battery state. For this reason before an
inspection of the battery, tap lightly and carefully on the magic
eye (for example by using the handle of a screwdriver). The air
bubbles disperse in this way and the colour indicator becomes
more accurate.
The colour indicator of the magic eye no longer gives informa‐
tion about the charge state of the battery, yet only about the
electrolyte level. An exact assessment of the charge state of the
battery is only possible using a battery tester
printerVAS 6161", page 12
The battery indicator can show two different colours:
♦ Black - Electrolyte level O.K.
♦ Colourless or bright yellow - Electrolyte level too low. Re‐
place battery.
WARNING
♦ Battery with colourless or bright yellow magic eye must
not be subjected to any test or charge under load. No
starting aid must be performed!
♦ There is a risk of explosion when testing or performing a
starting aid.
♦ These batteries must be replaced.
Note
In accordance with the guarantee, the load-dependent battery
tester with printer -VAS 5097A- is no longer used for testing
these batteries, but has instead been replaced with the stress-
free battery tester with printer -VAS 6161-.
