The check of electrolyte volume |
| |
Check it with using battery tester. If no
battery tester, measure it with checking the sp.gr of
battery. |
| |
The check by battery
tester: |
| |
After connect positive cable of tester with
positive post of battery and negative cable of tester
with negative |
| |
post of battery, and rest capacity indicator
according to capacity of battery to test, check the condition
of |
| |
electric volume during turn switch on for
5 second. |
| |
The result is as under. |
| |
¡Ü Green - normal |
| |
¡Ü White - slight discharge |
| |
¡Ü Red - abnormal |
| |
|
| |
The check by sp.gr: |
| |
the sp.gr of electrolyte is down proportionately
in accordance with a discharged volume of battery. |
| |
T/fore, the remained capacity
(charged volume) of battery can be calculated by check
sp.gr with using |
| |
the hydrometer. |
| |
And at this time, as mentioned on table
5-4, the conversion of sp.gr is needed according to different
|
| |
temperature departed form standard one (25¡É).
The following box shows discharged volume and |
| |
remained capacity (volume) in accordance
with sp.gr. |

The check of electrolyte level |
| |
Eletrolyte level is to be low due to its
evaporation resulted form an electric decomposition of
water |
| |
because charge and discharge are continuing
during battery is served. |
| |
T/fore, check the acid level form time to
time and fill battery with distilled water to upper lever
if its level |
| |
is down under lower level. At this time,
never use electrolyte (surfuric acid diluted with water). |
| |
|
|
The check of Terminal |
| |
The terminal of battery can be corroded
or discolored by electrolyte or a generated gas. |
| |
If check it, clean terminal by using fine
sand paper or wire brush. |
| |
The corrosion of terminal causes that electric
current does not flow smoothly even when the connectors
|
| |
are tight or the explosion by spark is happened.
Also, any corroded cable should be cleaned. |
| |
|
|
The check of condition of battery installation |
| |
Check whether battery is correctly placed
in carrier and clamp is strongly fastened in order to
press all |
| |
parts equally. |
| |
If it is loose, battery is damaged. |
