● If the reading drops below 6.5 V, slow charge the battery by connecting a battery and charge at five amps for no more than 24 hours ( or until the indicator shows full charge, or the specific gravity of the electrolyte is at least 1.250). Then test load capacity again.

  • If the voltage stays above 9.6 V, the battery is OK; clean its terminals and case, and reinstall it.
  • If the voltage still drops below 6.5 V, the battery is not good; replace it.
