5.7.1 INSPECT BATTERY
Battery is shown as the right figure:
1. Inspect in cold weather
In cold weather, if the battery's electrolyte has been frozen, neither recharge the battery, nor use
the other power supply to start the engine, this would cause the batteries on fire; melt the battery
electrolyte prior to starting, and inspect whether there is any leakage.
2. Inspect the battery shell
Do not add more power if the battery case cracks or leaking battery acid, identify the reason then
replace the battery.
3. Inspect the liquid level of battery
The installed battery is of maintenance-free type, without the necessity to add the battery
electrolyte (distilled water) to the battery cell. When the charging indicator turns gray, it shows that
the electrolyte is insufficient, probably due to leakage or the failure of charging system. Must find
out the fault and replace the battery.
4. Inspect the charging state
Inspect the charging status by reviewing the indicating inside the device.
1) Green: Normal.
2) Black: Charging is not sufficient.
3) Pale: No longer available and cannot charge.
5. Inspect the battery terminals
1) The battery has the terminals broken cannot be recharged, investigate the reason before
replace the battery;
2) When there are any oxide surfaces over the terminals, please remove the oxide surfaces and
clean the terminals before charging.
