B.Temperature correct each cell reading. For each 10F (5.5C) above 80F (26.7C) add 0.004 to the specific gravity reading. For each 10F (5.5C) be- low 80F (26.7C) subtract 0.004 from the specific gravity reading.

Example: Cell Temperature 100F

 

Cell Gravity

1.245

ADD (20 above 80F)

0.008

Correction to 80F 1.253

 

C.If the difference between the highest and lowest cell specific gravity is 0.050 or greater or the lowest cell specific gravity is less than 1.225, charge the battery. Charge at the recommended rate and time given in Charging or until all cells specific gravity is 1.225 or greater with the difference in specific grav- ity between the highest and lowest cell less than 0.050. If these charging conditions can not be met, replace the battery.

3.Perform a high±discharge test with an adjustable load tester.

This is one of the most reliable means of testing a battery as it simulates the cold±cranking test. A commercial bat- tery load tester is required to perform this test.

CAUTION

Follow the manufacturer's instructions when using a battery tester.

A.Check the voltage across the battery terminals prior to testing the battery. If the voltage is less than 12.0 VDC, recharge the battery.

B.If the battery has been charged, apply a 150 amp load for 15 seconds to remove the surface charge. Use a battery load tester following the manufactur- er's instructions.

C.Make sure the battery terminals are free of corro- sion.

D.Measure the temperature of the center cell.

E.Connect a battery load tester to the battery ter- minals following the manufacturer's instruc- tions. Connect a digital multimeter to the battery terminals.

F.Apply a test load of one half the Cranking Perfor- mance rating (see Fig. 25) of the battery for 15 se- conds.

G.Take a voltage reading at 15 seconds, then re- move the load.

H.Using the table below, determine the minimum voltage for the cell temperature reading.

I.If the test voltage is below the minimum, replace the battery. If the test voltage is at or above the mini- mum, return the battery to service.

Installation

IMPORTANT: To prevent possible electrical prob- lems, install only a fully charged battery.

1.Make sure the ignition switch and all accessories are off.

2.Make sure the battery compartment is clean and re- painted if necessary.

3.Make sure all battery cables and connection are in good condition and that the battery hold down clamp has been repaired or replaced.

4.Lift seat and place the battery near its compartment. Push the positive cable connector onto positive battery post. Do not hammer; this will damage the battery. Tight- en bolts with two wrenches.

5.Place the battery in its compartment and make sure it is level and flat. Tighten the battery hold±down bolts uniformly to prevent cracking or distorting the battery case.

6.Apply a light coat of grease on all battery posts and cable connectors to reduce corrosion after connections are made.

7.Connect a digital multimeter (set to amps) between the negative battery post and the negative (ground) cable connector. The reading should be less than 0.1 amp. If the reading is 0.1 amp or more, the unit's electri- cal system should be tested and repaired.

8.Connect the negative (ground) cable connector to the negative battery post.
