replace the battery.
3.
Perform a high−discharge test with an adjustable
load tester.
Installation
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.
IMPORTANT: To prevent possible electrical prob-
lems, install only a fully charged battery.
1.
Make sure the ignition switch and all accessories
are off.
CAUTION
2.
Make sure the battery compartment is clean and re-
painted if necessary.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when us-
ing a battery tester.
3.
Make sure all battery cables and connection are in
good condition and that the battery hold down clamp has
been repaired or replaced.
A. Check the voltage across the battery terminals
prior to testing the battery. If the voltage is less than

VDC, recharge the battery.
Make sure battery is level and flat. Push the positive
cable connector onto positive battery post. Do not ham-
mer; this will damage the battery. Tighten bolts with two
wrenches.
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.
5.
Secure battery retainer to the battery with the wash-
er and cap screw. Do not overtighten to prevent cracking
or distorting the battery case (Fig. 34).
C. Make sure the battery terminals are free of corro-
sion.

are made.
Apply a light coat of grease on all battery posts and
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.
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.
F. Apply a test load of one half the Cranking Perfor-
mance (see Battery Specifications) rating of the bat-
tery for 15 seconds.
