Visual Inspection

Visual Check

CAUTION: The battery plugs must be fully tightened when charging, measuring voltage or performing load tests.

Carry out visual check of battery before performing measurements, such as no load voltage, electrolyte specific gravity or battery load test.

Performing this test establishes:
- Whether battery housing is damaged (Electrolyte can leak out if housing is damaged).
- Whether battery posts (battery cable connections) are damaged. Wiring connector contact cannot be guaranteed if battery post is damaged. This may cause a cable to spark/burn which may cause malfunctions in electrical system.
