Visual Inspection

Visual Inspection


CAUTION!
Battery plugs must always be securely threaded when charging, measuring voltage and performing load measurements.


Before taking measurements, such as, for example open-circuit voltage or specific gravity, or performing the battery load test, you should visually inspect the battery.


This inspection is intended to determine


NOTE:
- Whether the battery casing is damaged. Damage to the casing can allow acid to escape from the battery.
- Whether the battery terminals (battery cable connections) are damaged. Damage to battery terminals can keep them from making secure contact with the cable connections. This can cause a cable fire and interfere with the function of the electrical system.
