Visual Inspection
Visual Inspection
Visually inspect battery before performing measurements, e.g. no-load voltage, specific gravity of electrolyte or battery test.
CAUTION:
-
Prior to handling or servicing batteries, read, understand and observe the Warning and Safety Measures for lead-acid batteries.
-
Always wear suitable protective clothing.
-
Check for the following:
-
Battery housing damage. Electrolyte can leak out if the housing is damaged.
-
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.
-
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.
