BATTERY TEST
TEST STEPS
STEP 1. Battery no-load voltage check
| (1)Illuminate the headlamp for 15 seconds. |
| (2)Turn off the headlamp and then leave it for about 2 minutes to stabilise the battery
voltage. |
| (3)Remove the battery cable. |
| (4)Measure the battery no-load voltage. OK: 12.4 V or more (Specific gravity 1.240) |
Q.
Does the measured voltage correspond with this range?
STEP 2. Battery charging
Q.
Is the battery no-load voltage normal value (12.4 V or more)?
STEP 3. Load test check
| (1)Connect the battery tester to battery. |
| (2)Feed a load current through the battery. (Refer to Table 1). |
| (3)Measure the battery voltage after 15 seconds and then eliminate a load current. |
| (4)Compare the measured voltage to the specified lowest voltage. (Refer to Table 2). |
Q.
Is the measured voltage higher than the lowest voltage?
