Visual inspection of battery
Visual inspection of battery
Visually inspect battery before performing measurements, e.g. no-load voltage, relative density of electrolyte or battery load test.
–  Check the following:
t  Battery housing damaged? Electrolyte can leak out if the housing is damaged.
t  Battery posts (battery cable terminals) damaged? Proper contact of connections is not ensured if battery posts are damaged. This may then result in cable burn-out and electrical system malfunctions.
t  Battery's original sealing plugs fitted? The sealing plugs must be fitted with an O-ring. Only use sealing plugs of same type (same as original equipment) if originals are lost or damaged.
