Battery and Charger
MERGE 11-13
Chapter 11
The discharge test is the most difficult and time-consuming test. Please use battery discharge tester.
Procedures for discharge test
1. Ensure that the battery is fully charged and that the liquid level of electrolyte in battery compartment
is normal.
2. Connect the tester with the positive (
+
) terminal of battery No.1 and the negative terminal of battery
No. 6
(see Fig 11-9).
3. Inspect and take down the temperature of electrolyte of the battery pack. Inspect the second
compartment of each battery (the second one from the positive terminal).
4. Reset the discharger and restart the tester.
5. Sixty minutes after the discharge of the battery, set the discharger at function 3 and measure the
voltage of the battery pack. In the subsequent test, measure the voltage every ten minutes. Measure
with the multimeter the voltages of all batteries when the voltage of the battery pack is higher than
the shutoff point (42.0V) by 5V. Be accurate to 0.01V and measure and take down the voltages of
all batteries.
NOTE: When the shut-off voltage is reached, the tester will shut off automatically.

Discharge test result presentation
1. In case the discharge time is not less than 60 minutes, the problem is not with battery.
2. In case the discharge time is relatively short (shorter than 60 minutes), the battery should be
replaced with one of 6.7V.
