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 bat-
tery. Charge at the recommended rate and time giv-
en in Charging or until all cells specific gravity is
H. Using the table below, determine the minimum
voltage for the cell temperature reading:

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
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.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when us-
ing a battery tester.
A. Check the voltage across the battery terminals
prior to testing the battery. If the voltage is less than
12.4
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 battery terminals are free of corrosion.
D. Measure the temperature of the center cell.
E. Connect a battery load tester to the battery termi-
nals following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Connect a digital multimeter to the battery terminals.
F. Apply a test load of one half the Cranking Perfor-
mance (see Battery Specifications) rating of the bat-
tery for 15 seconds.
G. Take a voltage reading at 15 seconds, then re-
move the load.
