- Inspect the battery in the following procedure.
BATTERY INSPECTION
| Step | Inspection | Result | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Measure open circuit voltage of battery. | Above 12.4 V | Go to Step 3. |
| Below 12.4 V | Go to next step. | ||
| 2 | Quick charge for 30 min and recheck voltage. | Above 12.4 V | Go to next step. |
| Below 12.4 V | Replace battery. | ||
| 3 | Apply load test (see load test chart) to battery using a battery load tester and record battery voltage after 15 s. Is voltage more than specification? | Yes | Battery okay. |
| No | Replace battery. |
