Battery: Testing and Inspection
Load Test
1. Connect tester (voltmeter and ammeter) (1) and battery load tester (2) across battery (3) terminals.
2. Apply proper face charge. Refer to L.T. (Load Test) described on battery caution label. For example, if it is 190 apply 190 ampere load.
3. Remove the load and wait 15 seconds to let battery recover.
4. Apply same load as in step 2). Read voltage after 15 seconds.
5. Read voltage after 15 seconds, then remove the load.
6. Check the reading value by using the table.
If the voltage does not drop below the minimum, battery is good. If the voltage does drop below the minimum, replace the battery.
Battery Load Test Voltage
NOTE: Temperature of battery will affect minimum voltage required to pass load test.
