DAEWOO M-150 BL2
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
BATTERY
The battery has three major functions in the electrical
system. First, the battery provides a source of energy
for cranking the engine. Second, the battery acts as a
voltage stabilizer for the electrical system. Finally, the
battery can, for a limited time, provide energy when the
electrical demand exceeds the output of the generator.
The sealed battery is standard on all cars. There are no
vent plugs in the cover. The battery is completely
sealed, except for two small vent holes in the sides.
These vent holes allow the small amount of gas pro-
duced in the battery to escape.
The sealed battery has the following advantages over
conventional batteries:

No water need be added for the life of the battery.

It is protected against overcharge. If too much volt-
age is applied to the battery, it will not accept as much
current as a conventional battery. In a conventional
battery, the excess voltage will still try to charge the
battery, leading to gassing, which causes liquid loss.

It is not as liable to self-discharge as a conventional
battery. This is particularly important when a battery
is left standing for long periods of time.

It has more power available in a lighter and a smaller
case.
RATINGS
A battery has two ratings: (1) A reserve capacity rating
designated at 27C (81F), which is the time a fully
charged battery will provide 25 amperes current flow at
or above 10.5 volts; (2) A cold cranking amp rating de-
termined under testing at -18C (0F), which indicates
the cranking load capacity.
RESERVE CAPACITY
The reserve capacity is the maximum length of time it is
possible to travel at night with the minimum electrical
load and no generator output. Expressed in minutes,
Reserve Capacity (or RC rating) is the time required for
a fully charged battery, at a temperature of 27C (81F)
and being discharged at a current of 25 amperes, to
reach a terminal voltage of 10.5 volts.
COLD CRANKING AMPERAGE
The cold cranking amperage test is expressed at a bat-
tery temperature of -18C (0F). The current rating is
the minimum amperage, which must be maintained by
the battery for 30 seconds at the specified temperature,
while meeting a minimum voltage requirement of
7.2 volts. This rating is a measure of cold cranking ca-
pacity.The battery is not designed to last indefinitely. However,
with proper care, the battery will provide many years of
service.
If the battery tests well, but fails to perform satisfactorily
in service for no apparent reason, the following factors
may point to the cause of the trouble:

Vehicle accessories are left on overnight.

Slow average driving speeds are used for short peri-
ods.

The vehicle’s electrical load is more than the genera-
tor output, particularly with the addition of aftermarket
equipment.

Defects in the charging system, such as electrical
shorts, a slipping generator belt, a faulty generator, or
a faulty voltage regulator.

Battery abuse, including failure to keep the battery
cable terminals clean and tight, or a loose battery
hold-down.

Mechanical problems in the electrical system, such
as shorted or pinched wires.
BUILT-IN HYDROMETER
The sealed battery has a built-in, temperature-compen-
sated hydrometer in the top of the battery. This hydrom-
eter is to be used with the following diagnostic
procedure:
1. When observing the hydrometer, make sure that the
battery has a clean top.
2. Under normal operation, two indications can be ob-
served:

GREEN DOT VISIBLE – Any green appearance is
interpreted as a “green dot,” meaning the battery is
ready for testing.

DARK GREEN DOT IS NOT VISIBLE – If there is
a cranking complaint, the battery should be tested.
The charging and electrical systems should also
be checked at this time.
3. Occasionally, a third condition may appear:

CLEAR OR BRIGHT YELLOW – This means the
fluid level is below the bottom of the hydrometer.
This may have been caused by excessive or pro-
longed charging, a broken case, excessive tipping,
or normal battery wear. Finding a battery in this
condition may indicate high charging by a faulty
charging system. Therefore, the charging and the
electrical systems may need to be checked if a
cranking complaint exists. If the cranking com-
plaint is caused by the battery, replace the battery.

ENGINE ELECTRICAL 1E–3
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
CHARGING PROCEDURE
1. Batteries with the green dot showing do not require
charging unless they have just been discharged, such
as in cranking a vehicle.
2. When charging sealed-terminal batteries out of the
vehicle, install the adapter kit. Make sure all the char-
ger connections are clean and tight. For best results,
batteries should be charged while the electrolyte and
the plates are at room temperature. A battery that is
extremely cold may not accept current for several
hours after starting the charger.
3. Charge the battery until the green dot appears. The
battery should be checked every half-hour while
charging. Tipping or shaking the battery may be nec-
essary to make the green dot appear.
4. After charging, the battery should be load tested. Re-
fer to “Starter Motor” in this section.
CHARGING TIME REQUIRED
The time required to charge a battery will vary depend-
ing upon the following factors:

Size of Battery – A completely discharged large
heavy-duty battery requires more than twice the re-
charging as a completely discharged small passenger
car battery.

Temperature – A longer time will be needed to
charge any battery at -18C (0F) than at 27C
(81F). When a fast charger is connected to a cold
battery, the current accepted by the battery will be
very low at first. The battery will accept a higher cur-
rent rate as the battery warms.

Charger Capacity – A charger which can supply only
5 amperes will require a much longer charging period
than a charger that can supply 30 amperes or more.

State-of-Charge – A completely discharged battery
requires more than twice as much charge as a one-
half charged battery. Because the electrolyte is nearly
pure water and a poor conductor in a completely dis-
charged battery, the current accepted by the battery
is very low at first. Later, as the charging current
causes the electrolyte acid content to increase, the
charging current will likewise increase.
CHARGING A COMPLETELY
DISCHARGED BATTERY
(OFF THE VEHICLE)
Unless this procedure is properly followed, a perfectly
good battery may be needlessly replaced.
The following procedure should be used to recharge a
completely discharged battery:
1. Measure the voltage at the battery terminals with an
accurate voltmeter. If the reading is below 10 volts,
the charge current will be very low, and it could take
some time before the battery accepts the current inexcess of a few milliamperes. Refer to “Charging
Time Required” in this section, which focuses on the
factors affecting both the charging time required and
the rough estimates in the table below. Such low cur-
rent may not be detectable on ammeters available in
the field.
2. Set the battery charger on the high setting.
Important: Some chargers feature polarity protection
circuitry, which prevents charging unless the charger
leads are correctly connected to the battery terminals. A
completely discharged battery may not have enough
voltage to activate this circuitry, even though the leads
are connected properly, making it appear that the bat-
tery will not accept charging current. Therefore, follow
the specific charger manufacturer’s instruction for by-
passing or overriding the circuitry so that the charger will
turn on and charge a low-voltage battery.
3. Battery chargers vary in the amount of voltage and
current provided. The time required for the battery to
accept a measurable charger current at various volt-
ages may be as follows:
VoltageHours
16.0 or moreUp to 4 hours
14.0–15.9Up to 8 hours
13.9 or lessUp to 16 hours

If the charge current is not measurable at the end
of the above charging times, the battery should be
replaced.

If the charge current is measurable during the
charging time, the battery is good, and charging
should be completed in the normal manner.
Important: It is important to remember that a complete-
ly discharged battery must be recharged for a sufficient
number of ampere hours (AH) to restore the battery to a
usable state. As a general rule, using the reserve capac-
ity rating (RC) as the number of ampere hours of charge
usually brings the green dot into view.

If the charge current is still not measurable after
using the charging time calculated by the above
method, the battery should be replaced.

If the charge current is measurable during the
charging time, the battery is good, and charging
should be completed in the normal manner.
JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
1. Position the vehicle with the good (charged) battery
so that the jumper cables will reach from one battery
to the other.
2. Turn off the ignition, all the lights, and all the electrical
loads in both vehicles. Leave the hazard flasher on if
there may be other traffic and any other lights needed
for the work area.

DAEWOO M-150 BL2
BATTERY LOAD TEST
1. Check the battery for obvious damage, such as a
cracked or broken case or cover, which could permit
the loss of electrolyte. If obvious damage is noted, re-
place the battery.
Caution: Do not charge the battery if the hydrometer
is clear or light yellow. Instead, replace the battery. If
the battery feels hot or if violent gassing or spewing
of electrolyte through the vent hole occurs, discontin-
ue charging or reduce the charging rate to avoid inju-
ry.
2. Check the hydrometer. If the green dot is visible, go to
the load test procedure. If the indicator is dark but
green is not visible, charge the battery. For charging a
battery removed from the vehicle, refer to “Charging a
Completely Discharged Battery” in this section.
3. Connect a voltmeter and a battery load tester across
the battery terminals.
4. Apply a 300-ampere load for 15 seconds to remove
any surface charge from the battery.
5. Remove the load.
6. Wait 15 seconds to let the battery recover, and apply
a 270-ampere load.
Important: The battery temperature must be estimated
by touch and by the temperature condition the battery
has been exposed to for the preceding few hours.
7. If the voltage does not drop below the minimum
listed, the battery is good and should be reinstalled. If
the voltage is less than the minimum listed, replace
the battery. Refer to “Battery Specifications” in this
section.
GENERATOR OUTPUT TEST
1. Perform the generator system test. Refer to “Gener-
ator System Check” in this section.
2. Replace the generator if it fails that test. Refer to
“Generator” in the On-Vehicle Service section. If it
passes the test, perform the on-vehicle output
check which follows.
Important: Always check the generator for output be-
fore assuming that a grounded “L” terminal circuit has
damaged the regulator.
3. Attach a digital multimeter (a), an ammeter (b), and
a carbon pile load (c) to the battery (d) and the gen-
erator (e) of the rehicle.
D102E301
Important: Be sure the vehicle battery is fully charged,
and the carbon pile load is turned off.
4. With the ignition switch in the OFF position, check
and record the battery voltage.
5. Remove the harness connector from the generator.
6. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position with the
engine not running. Use a digital multimeter to
check for voltage in the harness connector “L” termi-
nal.
7. The reading should be near the specified battery
voltage of 12 volts. If the voltage is too low, check
the indicator “L” terminal circuits for open and
grounded circuits causing voltage loss. Correct any
open wires, terminal connections, etc., as neces-
sary. Refer to “Charging System” in this section.
8. Attach the generator harness connector.
9. Run the engine at a moderate idle, and measure the
voltage across the battery terminals. The reading
should be above that recorded in Step 4 but less
than 15 volts. If the reading is over 15 volts or below
the previous reading, replace the generator. Refer to
“Generator” in the On-Vehicle Service section.
10. Run the engine at a moderate idle, and measure the
generator amperage output.
11. Turn on the carbon pile, and adjust it to obtain the
maximum amps while maintaining the battery volt-
age above 13 volts.
12. If the reading is within 15 amps of the generator’s
rating noted on the generator, the generator is good.
If not, replace the generator. Refer to “Generator”
in the On-Vehicle Service section.
13. With the generator operating at the maximum out-
put, measure the voltage between the generator
housing and the battery negative terminal. The volt-
age drop should be 0.5 volt or less. If the voltage
drop is more than 0.5 volt, check the ground path
from the generator housing to the negative battery
cable.
14. Check, clean, tighten, and recheck all of the ground
connections.

GENERATOR SYSTEM CHECK
When operating normally, the generator indicator lamp
will come on when the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion and go out when the engine starts. If the lamp oper-
ates abnormally or if an undercharged or overcharged
battery condition occurs, the following procedure may
be used to diagnose the charging system. Remember
that an undercharged battery is often caused by acces-
sories being left on overnight or by a defective switch
that allows a lamp, such as a trunk or glove box lamp, to
stay on.
Diagnose the generator with the following procedure:
1. Visually check the belt and wiring.
2. With the ignition switch in the ON position and the en-
gine stopped, the charge indicator lamp should be on.
If not, detach the harness at the generator and
ground the ‘‘L’’ terminal in the harness with a fused,
5-ampere jumper lead.
If the lamp lights, replace the generator. Refer to
“Generator” in the On-Vehicle Service section.

If the lamp does not light, locate the open circuit
between the ignition switch and the harness con-
nector. The indicator lamp bulb may be burned out.
3. With the ignition switch in the ON position and the en-
gine running at moderate speed, the charge indicator
lamp should be off. If not, detach the wiring harness
at the generator.

If the lamp goes off, replace the generator. Refer to
“Generator” in the On-Vehicle Service section.

If the lamp stays on, check for a short to ground in
the harness between the connector and the indica-
tor lamp.
Important: Always check the generator for output be-
fore assuming that a grounded ‘‘L’’ terminal circuit has
damaged the regulator. Refer to “Generator” in the Unit
Repair section.
