TEST PROCEDURE 1 – Battery Voltage Using Multimeter
1.
Check battery pack voltage.
See Measuring Voltage of Battery Set, Section 30, Page 30-2.
2.
Normal no-load voltage should be between 50 and 52 volts for a fully charged battery set. Normal no-load voltage
of an individual battery should not be less than 0.7 volts of the other 5 batteries (for 6 x 8-volt battery set).
TEST PROCEDURE 2 – DC Plug and Receptacle
1.
Check the DC plug and the vehicle charger receptacle for damage, dirt, corrosion, bent pins or any condition that
might prevent a sound electrical connection.
See Plug and Receptacle on page 31-3.
2.
Inspect the receptacle contacts to ensure that they are not damaged and they are firmly seated within the
receptacle.
See Plug and Receptacle on page 31-3.
3.
Check the wire connections from the charger receptacle.
3.1. Verify that the 10-gauge red wire from the charger receptacle is connected to the large post of solenoid
with 6-gauge red wire
.
3.2. Verify that the 10-gauge black wire from the charger receptacle is connected to the B- terminal of controller.
