6D1–2 ENGINE ELECTRICAL (X22SE 2.2L) Battery General Description There are six battery fluid caps on top of the battery. 1. There is no need to add water during the entire service life of the battery. 2. The battery protects itself against overcharging. The battery will refuse to accept an extensive charge. 3. The battery is much less vulnerable to self discharge than a conventional type battery. Diagnosis 1. Visual Inspection Inspect the battery for obvious physical damage, such as 2. Hydrometer Check There is a built–in hydrometer (Charge test indicator(1)) a. BLUE RING OR DOT VISIBLE(5) – Go to Step 4. 3. 061RX001 3. Fluid Level Check The fluid level should be between the upper level line(2) a. CORRECT FLUID LEVEL – Charge the battery. 061RX001 4. Voltage Check 1. Put voltmeter test leads to battery terminals. a. VOLTAGE IS 12.4V OR ABOVE – Go to Step 5. below. 2. Determine fast charge amperage from specification. (See Main Data and Specifications in this section). a. VOLTAGE IS ABOVE 16V AT BELOW 1/3 OF AMPERAGE RATE – Replace battery. b. VOLTAGE IS ABOVE 16V AT ABOVE 1/3 OF AMPERAGE RATE – Drop charging voltage to 15V c. VOLTAGE IS BETWEEN 12V AND 16V – Continue charging at the same rate for an d. VOLTAGE BELOW 12V – Replace Battery. 5. Load Test 1. Connect a voltmeter and a battery load tester across the battery terminals. 2. Apply 300 ampere load for 15 seconds to remove surface charge from the battery. Remove load. 3. Wait 15 seconds to let battery recover. Then apply specified load from specifications (See Main Data |
