Visual Inspection
WARNING!
When charging, measuring the voltage or load testing a battery, the cell caps must always be screwed in tightly.
Before performing tests such as no-load voltage, specific gravity or the battery load tests, a visual check should be made of the battery.
The purpose of this check is to determine
-
If the case of the battery has been damaged. Damage to the case can cause acid to leak.
-
If the terminals have been damaged. Damaged terminals make it impossible to assure a good contact at the terminal. This can lead to a cable fire
and damage to the electrical system.
