• Note the electrolyte level. Levels that are too low or
too high may cause poor performance, as covered in
the section entitled “General Information”.
• Check for loose cable connections. Correct as
required before proceeding with tests.
Instrument Test
A number of suppliers have approved testing equipment
available. These testers have a programmed test
procedure consisting of a series of timed discharge and
charge events, requiring approximately 2 to 3 minutes,
that will determine the condition of the battery with a
high degree of accuracy. When using these testers, the
procedure recommended by the tester manufacturer
should be followed. Batteries should not be charged prior
to testing as doing so may alter the test results. If a tester
is not available for testing, the “Specific Gravity Cell
Comparison Test” may be used or an alternate method,
but with a sacrifice in testing accuracy.
NOTE: New energizers which have become
completely discharged over a relatively long
period of time, such as during vehicle
storage, should be tested by the hydrometer
method. Energizers discharged to this degree
cannot be accurately tested using equipment
requiring load capability comparison tests.
Full Charge Hydrometer Test
This test should be used only on Energizers which test
good with testing equipment or “Specific Gravity Cell
Comparison Test” but which subsequently fail in service.
• Remove the Energizer from the vehicle, and adjust
the electrolyte level as necessary, by adding
colorless, odorless, drinking water.
• Fully charge the Energizer at the Slow Charging
rate as covered in the section entitled “Charging
Procedures”.
• Measure the specific gravity of the electrolyte in
each cell and interpret as follows:
Hydrometer Reading Less Than 1.230—Full charge
hydrometer readings less than 1.230 corrected for
temperature indicate the Battery is defective and
should be replaced.
Hydrometer Readings Above 1.310—Full charge
hydrometer readings above 1.310 corrected for
temperature indicate that the cells have been
improperly filled (activation) or improperly serviced.
Poor service and short Battery life will result.
Load Test
In addition to the instrument test and full charge
hydrometer test, the following load test may also be
performed to check the condition of the battery.
NOTE: Equipment to perform this test may
be procured from local suppliers of testing
equipment.
To begin, charge the battery, if necessary, until all cells
are at least
1.200
specific gravity.
1. If unable to obtain specific gravity 1.200 @ 80°F. in
all cells, replace battery.
2. If able to obtain a specific gravity of 1.200 or more
@ 80°F. in all cells, remove the vent caps and
connect a 300 amp. load for 15 seconds.
a. If smoke occurs in one or more cells, replace the
battery.
b. If smoke does not occur proceed to step 3.
3. Place a thermometer in one cell and apply a
specified load from chart No. 1. Read the voltage at
15 seconds with load connected, then remove load
and read electrolyte temperature. Compare temper
ature and voltage readings with chart No. 2.
a. If reading is less than voltage on chart No. 2,
replace battery.
b. If reading is same as or greater than voltage on
chart No. 2, fully charge, clean and return
battery to service.
