How to Handle Battery

INFOID:0000000003809460

CAUTION:

• If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster battery and jumper cables, use a 12-volt

booster battery.

• After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are tightly clamped to battery terminals for good

contact.

• Never add distilled water through the hole used to check specific gravity.

METHODS OF PREVENTING OVER-DISCHARGE

The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-discharging a battery.

• The battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept

clean and dry.

• The terminal connections should be clean and tight.
• At every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.

This also applies to batteries designated as “low maintenance” and
“maintenance-free”.

• When the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of

time, disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal. (If
the vehicle has an extended storage switch, turn it off.)

• Check the charge condition of the battery.

Periodically check the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Keep a
close check on charge condition to prevent over-discharge.

CHECKING ELECTROLYTE LEVEL

WARNING:

Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with skin, eyes, fabrics, or painted surfaces. After touch-
ing a battery, never touch or rub your eyes until you have thoroughly washed your hands. If acid con-
tacts eyes, skin or clothing, immediately flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

BATTERY

• Remove the cell plug using a suitable tool.
• Add distilled water up to the MAX level.

Sulphation

A battery will be completely discharged if it is left unattended
for a long time and the specific gravity will become less than
1.100. This may result in sulphation on the cell plates.
To determine if a battery has been “sulphated”, note its voltage
and current when charging it. As shown in the figure, less cur-
rent and higher voltage are observed in the initial stage of
charging sulphated batteries.
A sulphated battery may sometimes be brought back into ser-
vice by means of a long, slow charge, 12 hours or more, fol-
lowed by a battery capacity test.

SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECK

1.

Read hydrometer and thermometer indications at eye level.

2.

Convert into specific gravity at 20

°

C (68

°

F).

Example:

• When electrolyte temperature is 35

°

C (95

°

F) and specific gravity of

electrolyte is 1.230, converted specific gravity at 20

°

C (68

°

F) is

1.240.

• When electrolyte temperature is 0

°

C (32

°

F) and specific gravity of

electrolyte is 1.210, converted specific gravity at 20

°

C (68

°

F) is

1.196.

1.

VISUAL INSPECTION

1.

Check battery case for cracks or bends.

2.

Check battery terminals for damage.

3.

If the difference between the max. and min. electrolyte level in cells is within 10 mm (0.39 in), it is OK.

Are these inspection results normal?

YES

>> GO TO 2.

NO

>> Replace battery.

2.

CHECKING SPECIFIC GRAVITY

Check specific gravity. Refer to 

PG-3, "How to Handle Battery"

.

Inspection results

Above 1.220 (Test using battery checker)>>GO TO 3.
Above 1.220 (Test using load tester)>>GO TO 5.
1.100 - 1.220 (When performing quick charge)>>GO TO 7.
1.100 - 1.220 (When performing standard charge)>>GO TO 12.
Below 1.100>>GO TO 13.

3.

CAPACITY TEST

Test using battery checker.
Is the battery usable, according to the manufacturer’s instructions?

YES

>> Ready for use. Mount battery again and check loose terminals. Also check other related circuits.

NO

>> GO TO 4.

4.

QUICK CHARGE

1.

Perform quick charge. Time required: 45 min. Refer to 

PG-107, "Quick Charge"

.

2.

Test using battery checker.

Is the battery usable, according to the manufacturer’s instructions?

YES

>> Ready for use.

NO

>> Replace battery.

5.

CAPACITY TEST

1.

Test using load tester.

2.

Check battery type and determine the specified current using the table.

Discharging Current (Load Tester)

3.

Read load tester voltage when specified discharging current flows through battery for 15 seconds.
