The choice of battery |
| |
* Choose a suitable battery according to
kinds of automobile and when especilly change battery,
it is |
| |
good using same type as battery used
by car maker. |
| |
* Battery should be fitted with the carrier
of car and battery of bigger capacity should be used in
case that |
| |
automobile has the equipments of heater,
airconditioner and other accessories required electricity
from |
| |
battery. |
| |
* In this case, charging system of a generator
and regulator should be checked for the existence and/or
|
| |
nonexistence of abnormal condition at a
special treatment shop. |
| |
|
The method of removing old battery |
| |
* When taking terminal off, remove the "ground"
terminal first. |
| |
* This precaution is to avoid damage to
wiring and the battery by accidental "grounds"
with tools. |
| |
* Inspect the battery tray for possible
damage caused by loss of acid from the old battery. |
| |
* The tray and its holddowns should be mechanically
storage and free from corrosion. |
| |
* Corrded parts and cable terminals
may be cleaned with water (to which some backing soda
has been |
| |
added) by scrubing with a wire brush and
corroded parts should be dried. |
| |
|
The method of installation new battery |
| |
* After check the condition of carrier of
car connector parts, put the carrier with considering
the terminal |
| |
position of battery. |
| |
* The battery should levelly rest in the
tray. Make certain there is no foreign substance such
as loose nut |
| |
or stone lying in the bottom of the tray,
because the battery damaged by them causing loss of acid
and |
| |
failure. |
| |
* The "grounded" cable should
be connected to the battery lastly. check proper battery
polarity with |
| |
respect to the vehicle specifications.
"ground" polarity is usually indicated. |
| |
* "Reversed" polarity may cause
serious damage to electrical system. Note that the positive
tapered post |
| |
is large than the negative post. |
| |
* The cable terminals should be cleaned
before connecting them to the battery. After the connections
|
| |
have been made, apply a thin coating
of high temperature grese on the post and cable terminals
to retard |
| |
corrosion. |
| |
* Never hammer cable terminals onto battery
posts. |
| |
* The cover, undercover post connections
or post to cover connections could be severely damaged.
|
| |
* Whenever a new battery is installed, a
check of the electrical system is recommended. |
| |
* Check to see if starter, alternator and
voltage regulator are operating within specifications.
|
| |
|
The Check of electric circuit |
| |
¢º The check of
battery connection |
| |
* Chexk the joining condition of the negative
post of battery and the earth cable of automobile. |
| |
* The condition of battery post and cr cable
is normal if the indication of battery tester is over
12v when |
| |
negative post of a voltmeter or battery
tester is connected with chassis or an engine, and positive
cable |
| |
of them is connected with positive post
of battery. |
| |
|
| |
¢º The check of
electrical circuit leakage |
| |
* Arter take car negative cable off, connet
negative cable of voltmeter or battery tester with negative
post of |
| |
battery, and connect car negative cable
with positive cable of voltmeter or battery tester. |
| |
* At this time, if the indicator show 0
volt, a electric leakage circuit to discharge battery
is composed. |
| |
So, seek leakage cause and treat it. |
| |
|
| |
¢º The check of
charging circuit |
| |
* Normal
: When start engine
and keep it under the condition of no delivering or receving
power (open |
| |
circuit rotation, abt 2,500rpm), charging
ramp is off or the indicator of amperemeter is to be close
to "0" |
| |
after it waver to "+" direction
violently. |
| |
* Abnormal
: If charging ramp is not off or the indicator of amperemeter
is to be close to "-" direction |
| |
after start engine and keep it under open
circuit rotation of abt 2,500rpm, check the loosened condition
of |
| |
fan belt, setting voltage of regulator and
a generator condition etc. |
| |
|
| |
If the indicator of amperemeter
keep continuously its condition after the indication waver
to "+" direction |
| |
violently when start engine
and keep it under open cir-cuit rotation of abt 2,500rpm,
check whether a |
| |
setting voltage of regulator
is high or battery is over-charged. |
