Battery Testing Procedure

Battery Testing Procedure

- COMPLY WITH ALL COMPANY POLICY AND BATTERY SAFETY RULES WHILE TESTING BATTERIES.

- Always test on the lead post for the most consistent results. Avoid tests on stainless-steel hardware or bolts - lower measures will result.

- Operating conditions, site conditions, manufacturer changes and other factors can vary test results. Retest to verify any suspect test results.

- Permanent site records should include temperature, power load, visual inspection, site condition, and battery rating, voltage, and conductance data.

- Identify each battery with clear stenciling or labeling to ensure subsequent data is correlated to the same battery.

- Testing through an Amp-type cable attachment will significantly reduce test effectiveness - TEST ON BATTERY POSTS BEFORE REPLACING.
