| Check the Battery -A- with inspection
window (magic eye) „3 colors“ |
WARNING | Risk of injuries! Pay attention to the warning notes and security
norms → Chapter. |
|
| General information on the inspection window
(magic eye): |
| Valid for all batteries with the index „1J0“, „5Z0“, „5U0“, „000“. |
| The inspection window (magic eye) supplies information on
the charge and the level of electrolyte in the Battery -A-. |
| –
| Before carrying out a visual check, lightly and carefully
tap the inspection window with a screwdriver handle. |
| By doing this, any air bubbles that may distort are reading
will be eliminated and the color code of the window will be more accurate. |
Note | t
| Especially when a Battery -A- is
recharged, that is, even when the Battery -A- is charged during driving, air bubbles can form under the inspection
window. These bubbles change the color indication in the inspection
viewing glass. |
| t
| Since the inspection window is located on a single Battery -A-cell, the code refers only to this
cell. An exact evaluation of the condition of the battery is only
possible when a charge test is carried out on the battery -A- → Chapter. |
| t
| The inspection window may be located in different positions
on the Battery -A-. |
| There are three different color codes: |
| t
| »Green« the Battery -A- is sufficiently charged. |
| t
| »Black« the battery -A- is partly charged, charge condition < 65% or flat; the battery -A- needs charging. |
| t
| »Colorless or yellow« the electrolyte level
is too low; the Battery -A- needs replacing. |
