Checking the battery voltage under load

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Disconnect the battery. Negative wire must be disconnected first, and connect the last. Make sure that the top and the battery terminals are clean.

2. The digital voltmeter, measure the voltage at the battery terminals. Make sure that the voltage shown by the digital voltmeter is 12.4 V or more.

3. On 15 to connect to the terminals of the battery load input current of 300 A, and then wait for 5 minutes to stabilize the battery voltage.

4. Connect to the terminals of the battery load input current of 50% of the battery capacity, 15 to measure the voltage and disconnect the load.

5. The battery voltage varies depending on the temperature of the battery during the checking.

The temperature of the battery, ?� C	The minimum voltage,
27	9.7
21	9.6
15	9.5
10	9.4
4	9.3
-1	9.1
-7	8.9
-12	8.7
