Attention:
- Do not test near fire or hot objects.
- If safety precautions are not followed, the battery may explode and cause harm to others.
1. Make sure that the battery electrolyte temperature is 15-38°C.
2. Check the battery case for cracks and leaks.
If the case is damaged, replace the battery.
3. Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell.
If the level is below the "LOWER" mark, add distilled water. After adding water, charge the battery.
4. Check the density of the electrolyte.
- Nominal density (at 20°C) — 1.25-1.29 g/cm³
5. Measure the battery voltage.
- Nominal voltage (at 20°C) - 12.7-12.9 V
Note:
- Before measuring voltage, turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" position and turn off all voltage consumers (headlights, fog lights, fan, radio, etc.).
- If the engine was running before measuring the battery voltage, stop the engine and wait 5 minutes.
6. Using a tester, check the serviceability of the fuse links and ensure that there is conductivity at their terminals.
- a) Check the strength of the battery terminals and the absence of corrosion.
- b) Make sure that the fuse links and fuses are intact.
