    STEP INSPECTION RESULTS ACTION
    1 Measure the battery positive voltage. 12.4 V or more Go to Step 3.
    Less than 12.4 V Go to the next step.
    2 Quick charge for 30 min and recheck voltage. 12.4 V or more Go to the next step.
    Less than 12.4 V Replace the battery.
    3 Using the battery load tester, apply load current (See battery load test current below) and record battery voltage after 15 s. Is voltage more than the specification? Yes Normal
