1. INTRODUCTION
This publi cat ion s ets out , for t he benefit of dealers / ret ailers worl dwide, requirement s for the care and maint enance ofbatt eri es , from the vehicles hand-over to the dealer / retail er to the handover t o the cus t omer or i n t he cas e of a sparepart batt ery from i s delivery to the dealer / retail er to it s fi tment t o a cus tomer vehicle.
It appl ies t o all t ypes of 12 volt Lead Acid Bat teries us ed, whet her they are convent ional fl ooded t echnology or Abs orbedGlas s Mat (AGM) technol ogy and als o applies to bot h Pri mary and Secondary or Auxi li ary Bat teri es.
The clearl y lai d out and ill ust rat ed s ect ions guide dealers / ret ail ers t hrough each st age of the vehicl es or s pare partsreceipt , st orage, pre-del ivery and cus tomer hand-over. This publi cat ion can be us ed as a gui de to the handli ng and care ofbatt eri es in s ervi ce. It is vi tal t o appreci ate that unles s each proces s i s ri gorousl y appl ied on al l vehi cl es, t he cust omer wil lreceive a vehicl e wit h a bat tery or a s pare part bat t ery which will not provide a s at is fact ory s ervi ce life.
It is very import ant that all t est s quoted throughout this publ icat ion are adhered to. If t hey are appli ed incorrect lybatt eri es could be s crapped unneces s ari ly. Refer to the bat tery tes t ing s ect ion for detail ed informat ion.
It is equally important therefore to not e t he fol lowing key point s :
Mos t new vehi cl es leave t he factory wi th ei ther a t rans it relay i ns t alled and/or have a trans it mode programmedint o t he vehi cl e cont rol modules . The t rans it rel ay mus t be removed and t he t rans it mode di sabled (whereappl icable) us ing an approved diagnost ic sys tem, NOT MO RE T HAN 24 HOURS before t he cust omer t akes deli very.12 Volt Lead Acid Bat teries rely on i nternal chemical proces s es to create a vol tage and deli ver current. Theseprocess es and t he int ernal chemi cal s truct ure of the bat tery can be damaged i f the bat tery is allowed t o di schargeover a number of weeks / months , or is left i n a di scharged s t at e for a lengt hy ti me peri od. For t hi s reas on t hebatt ery mus t be t es ted / re-charged i f neces sary every mont h, and MUST BE re-charged after every t hree mont hperi od of st orage. Refer to the vehicle st orage manual and updat e t he vehi cl e his t ory s heet.Under no ci rcums tances should the bat tery be dis connected wit h the engi ne running becaus e under thes e condi ti onst he alt ernator can give a very high output volt age. This hi gh t rans ient vol tage wi ll damage t he electroni ccomponents in t he vehicle. Loos e or i ncompl et e bat tery connect ions may al s o caus e high transi ent volt age.On vehicles wi th conventi onal ignit ion keys , thes e mus t not be left in t he i gni ti on lock barrel when the t rans it relayhas been removed, ot herwi se qui escent current wi ll increas e and t he bat t ery wi ll discharge more rapi dl y.Two t ypes of Lead acid bat teri es are us ed; s tandard Fl ooded t ype and AGM (Absorbed Glas s Mat) or VRLA (Valveregulat ed Lead Aci d) types. AGM batt eries offer i mproved res is t ance t o cycl ing as seen i n s top st art appli cat ions .AGM Bat teries are ful ly s ealed and cannot have t he electrolyte level t opped up.

4. HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• W ARNINGS:
BATTERY CELLS CONTAIN SULPHURIC ACID AND EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES OF HY DROGEN AND OXY GEN GASES. IT ISTHEREFORE ESSENTIAL THAT THE FOLLOW ING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE OBSERVED.
Bat teri es emit hi ghl y explos ive hydrogen at all ti mes , parti cul arl y during chargi ng. To prevent any potent ial form ofignit ion occurring when worki ng in the vi ci nit y of a batt ery:
Do not s moke when worki ng near bat teri es.Avoi d s parks , short ci rcuit s or other s ources of i gni ti on in the bat tery vicinit y.Swit ch off current before maki ng or breaki ng electrical connect ions .Ensure batt ery chargi ng area i s well venti lated.Ensure t he charger i s s wit ched off when: a) connect ing t o a bat tery; b) di sconnect ing from the bat tery.Always dis connect t he ground cabl e from the bat tery terminal fi rs t and reconnect i t las t.
Bat teri es cont ain poi sonous and highly corros ive acid. To prevent pers onal injury, or damage to cl ot hing or t hevehi cl e, the foll owing worki ng practi ces s hould be foll owed when t opping up, checking el ect rol yt e s peci fi c gravit y, removal,refit ti ng or carrying bat teries :
Always wear s uit abl e prot ect ive clot hing (an apron or s imilar), s afet y glas s es , a face mas k and s uit abl e gloves.If acid is s pil led or s plas hed onto cl ot hing or t he body, i t mus t be neut ral ized immediatel y and then rins ed wi thclean wat er. A s olut ion of baking s oda or hous ehol d ammoni a and water may be used as a neut ral izer.In the event of cont act wi th the s kin, drench t he affect ed area wit h water. In the cas e of cont act wi th the eyes ,bathe t he affect ed area wit h cool clean wat er for approximat ely 15 minutes and s eek urgent medical att ent ion.If bat tery aci d i s s pi ll ed or spl ashed on any s urface of a vehi cl e, it s houl d be neutrali zed and rins ed wi th cl eanwater.Heat is generat ed when aci d i s mixed wi th water. If i t becomes neces s ary t o prepare electrolyte of a desi reds pecific gravi ty, SLOW LY pour t he concent rat ed acid i nto wat er (not wat er i nto aci d), addi ng s mall amounts of acidwhil e s ti rring. All ow t he electrol yte to cool if noti ceable heat develops. W it h t he excepti on of lead or lead-linedcont ainers , always us e non-met all ic receptacles or funnels . Do not s t ore acid in exces s ively warm locat ions or i ndirect s unli ght .
Due t o t heir hazardous content s, t he dis pos al of batt eri es is s t ri ct ly cont roll ed. W hen a batt ery is s crapped, ens ureit i s dis pos ed of safel y, compl yi ng wit h l ocal envi ronment al regul ati ons . If in doubt, contact your l ocal aut hori ty for advi ceon dis pos al faci li ti es .
5. DETERMINING BATTERY CONDITION
The t ool s used for determining the condit ion of t he bat t ery wi ll depend upon whet her i t is i nst all ed in a vehi cl e or in s parepart s inventory. Concerning an i nst all ed batt ery, procedures wil l vary if t he vehi cle i s new, or al ready in s ervice wi th a
