General Description
Battery
The battery has three major functions in the electrical system.
It is a source of electrical energy for cranking the engine.
It acts as a voltage stabilizer for the electrical system.
It can, for a limited time, provide energy when the electrical
load exceeds the output of the generator.
CARRIER AND HOLD-DOWN
The battery carrier should be in good condition so that it will sup-
port the battery securely and keep it level.
Before installing the battery, the battery carrier and hold-down
clamp should be clean and free from corrosion and make certain
there are no parts in carrier.
To prevent the battery from shaking in its carrier, the hold-down
bolts should be tight enough but not over-tightened.
ELECTROLYTE FREEZING
The freezing point of electrolyte depends on its specific gravity.
Since freezing may ruin a battery, it should be protected against
freezing by keeping it in a fully charged condition. If a battery is
frozen accidentally, it should not be charged until it is warmed.
SULFATION
If the battery is allowed to stand for a long period in discharged
condition, the lead sulfate becomes converted into a hard, crystal-
line substance, which will not easily turn back to the active mate-
rial again during the subsequent recharging. “Sulfation” means
the result as well as the process of that reaction.
Such a battery can be revived by very slow charging and may be
restored to usable condition but its capacity is lower than before.

BUILT-IN INDICATOR (IF EQUIPPED)
The battery has a built-in temperature compensated indicator in
the top of the battery. This indicator is to be used with the follow-
ing diagnostic procedure. When checking the indicator, make
sure that the battery has a clean top. A light may be needed in
some poorly-lit areas.
Three types of indication which is available under normal opera-
tion are as follows.
Green Dot
Battery is sufficiently charged for testing.
Dark
Battery must be charged before testing.
If there is a cranking complaint, battery should be tested as
described in Diagnosis section. Charging and electrical sys-
tems should also be checked at this time.
Clear or Light Yellow
This means that fluid level is below the bottom of hydrome-
ter. Its possible cause is excessive or prolonged charging, a
broken case, excessive tipping or normal battery deteriora-
tion.
When the battery is found in such condition, it is possible
that high charging voltage is caused by the faulty charging
system and therefore, charging and electrical systems need
to be checked. If there is a trouble in cranking and its cause
lies in the battery, it should be replaced.
CARE OF BATTERY
1) The battery is a very reliable component, but needs periodi-
cal attentions.
Keep the battery carrier clean.
Prevent rust formation on the terminal posts.
Keep the electrolyte up to the upper level uniformly in all
cells. WARNING:
Never expose battery to open flame or electric spark
because of battery generate gas which is flammable
and explosive.
Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics,
or painted surfaces as fluid is a corrosive acid. Flush
any contacted area with water immediately and thor-
oughly.
Batteries should always be kept out of reach of chil-
dren.

Diagnosis
Battery
COMMON CAUSES OF FAILURE
A battery is not designed to last indefinitely; however, with proper
care, it will provide many years of service. If the battery performs
satisfactorily during test but fails to operate properly for no appar-
ent reason, the followings are some factors that may point to the
cause of trouble:
Accessories left on overnight or for an extended period with-
out the generator operating.
Slow average driving speeds for short periods.
Electrical load exceeding generator output particularly with
addition of after market equipment.
Defects in charging system such as high resistance, slipping
drive belt, loose generator output terminal, faulty generator
or voltage regulator. Refer to “Generator” in this “Diagnosis”
section.
Battery abuse, including failure to keep battery cable termi-
nals clean and tight or loose battery hold down.
Mechanical problems in electrical system such as shorted or
pinched wires.
VISUAL INSPECTION
Check for obvious damage, such as cracked or broken case or
cover, that could permit loss of electrolyte. If obvious damage is
noted, replace battery. Determine cause of damage and correct
as needed.
HYDROMETER TEST
The direct method of checking the battery for state of charge is to
carry out a high rate discharge test, which involves a special pre-
cise voltmeter and an expensive instrument used in the service
shops, but not recommendable to the user of the vehicle.
At 20 °C of battery temperature (electrolyte temperature):
The battery is in FULLY CHARGED STATE if the electrolyte
S.G. is 1.280.
The battery is in HALF CHARGED STATE if the S.G. is
1.220.
The battery is in NEARLY DISCHARGED STATE if the S.G.
is 1.150 and is in danger of freezing.
As the S.G. varies with the temperature, if battery temperature is
not at 20 °C (68 °F), you have to correct your S.G. reading (taken
with your hydrometer) to the value at 20 °C (68 °F) and apply the
corrected S.G. value to the three-point guide stated value. For the
manner of correction, refer to the graph showing the relation
between S.G. value and temperature.
