Current Draw Test: Example

With a 60 Ah battery, the charge current must be greater than 6 A 5 minutes after charging begins.

-- Fully charge the Battery -A- if the charge current is higher than 10% of the nominal capacity.

-- Let the Battery -A- sit for two hours and then perform the battery load test, refer to BATTERY LOAD TEST .

If the charge current is less than 10% of the nominal capacity (less than 6 A for a 60 Ah battery) five minutes after starting the charging, then replace the Battery -A-, refer to BATTERY, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .

-- In warranty and Goodwill cases, fill out the battery test sheet and keep it with the Battery -A-.
