2) Connect the load tester clamps to the terminals and proceed with the test as follows:
a. If the battery has been charged, remove the surface charge by connecting a 300
ampere load for 15 seconds.
b. Connect the voltmeter and apply the specified load.
c. Read the voltage after the load has been applied for 15 seconds.
d. Disconnect the load.
