BATTERY ANALYSIS
(Meter Reading After 10 Seconds with Load Switch On)
LOAD TEST | BATTERY CONDITION |
Good (Green) | Battery capacity is OK. Battery may or |
| may not be fully charged. Check spe- |
| cific gravity of battery to determine state |
| of charge, check for electrical drain or |
| possible charging system trouble. Re- |
| charge battery to full level. |
Weak or Bad, But Needle Remains Steady (Yellow or Red)
Battery capacity is not satisfactory. Bat- tery may be either defective or not fully charged. Check specific gravity to de- termine which condition exists. If charg- ing does not bring specific gravity to full charge level, battery should be replaced.
Weak or Bad, | Battery may be defective or very run |
But Needle | down. Release load switch and note volt |
Remains Failing | meter reaction. Voltage recovery to 12 |
(Yellow or Red) | volt or above within seconds indicates |
| defective battery. Slow voltage recovery |
| indicates run down condition. For best |
| results, check specific gravity. |
