Battery Test
Use a multimeter to measure the voltage between the
battery terminals.

Charging System Test
This is a simple test used to determine if a charging sys-
tem is functioning. It will tell you if the charging system
has an output, but not its capacity.
Start the engine and run at high idle (3200 RPM). Allow
the battery to charge for at least 3 minutes. Record the
battery voltage.
Use a digital multimeter set to DC volts. Connect the
positive (+) multimeter lead to the positive battery post
and the negative (--) multimeter lead to the negative bat-
tery post. Keep the test leads connected to the battery
posts and record the battery voltage.
After running the engine for at least 3 minutes, battery
voltageshouldbeatleast0.50volthigherthaninitialbat-
tery voltage.
An example of a charging system that is functioning:
NOTE: Upon starting the engine, the battery voltage
will drop and then should increase once the engine is
running.
At least 0.50 volt over initial battery voltage.

NOTE: Depending upon the condition of the battery
charge and battery temperature, the battery voltage will
increase at different rates as the battery charges.
