Visual inspection

Attention:
The battery caps must always be firmly screwed on for charging, voltage measurement and load measurement.

Visually inspect battery before performing measurements, e.g. no-load voltage, specific gravity of electrolyte or battery load test.

Such inspection is designed to establish:

◆ Whether battery casing is damaged.
A damaged casing can result in electrolyte leakage.
◆ Whether battery posts (battery connections) are 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.
