BATTERY TEST
|
|
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?
|
|
|
 Go to Step 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
 Go to Step 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
Recharge the battery at 5A (constant-current charging). (Refer to Table 1.)
|
|
|
Q.
Is the battery no-load voltage normal value (12.4 V or more)?
|
|
|
Go to Step 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replace the battery.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(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?
|
|
|
The battery is normal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replace the battery.
