YES A. Visual Check A1.0 Warranty Period START HERE Is battery within warranty period? NO REJECT CLAIM YES Has the battery been correctly fitted to the correct vehicle? YES NO REJECT CLAIM Premature failure due to incorrect fitment is NOT a manufacturing defect A2.0/A3.0 Damage Does the battery leak? Any indication of white sulphation around engine compartment? YES Has the battery casing or terminal been damaged? YES Ascertain cause of damage to prevent recurrence REJECT CLAIM Physical damage is NOT a manufacturing defect NO NO Has the battery been overfilled by customer? NO ACCEPT CLAIM Replace under Terms and condition of warranty A1.1 False Claim Check battery labels are originals (check label edge damage) NO Suspect claim Investigate further REJECT CLAIM if clear evidence of fraud False (Fraudulent Claim) is NOT covered by Guarantee * it is advised to always write unique battery serial number eg YB00123456 (back label) onto proof of purchase at point of sale Battery Testing YES A4.0 Overdischarged & overcharged Are the end walls of battery swollen? YES Battery most likely to be sulphated due to being left in discharged state REJECT CLAIM Sulphation is NOT a manufacturing defect NO Testing Choice B1 B1 Digital Tester (Conductance Tester) B2 Conventional testing (Hydrometer and Acid gravity measurement) 176
B1.Testing the Battery B1 Using Recognised Digital tester - Batteries without removable vent plugs We recommend that a test is carried out with a recognised digital tester, for example Midtronic or Bosch Type 121 tester In the absence of specialised testing equipment perform a high rate discharge test (go directly to Procedure B2 ) B1 If testing battery on vehicle, you must remove surface charge With engine off, switch on lights for 1 minute then switch off all electrical loads and leave for 2 minutes prior to testing Before testing, ensure battery terminals are clean and tester leads are in good condition MIDTRONICS BOSCH Leave to stand for 4 hour minimum Choose the correct SAE testing mode Select the SAE CCA rating shown on the label of battery* * For Marine, Leisure Batteries use 4x 20 hour rating Choose the correct SAE testing mode Select 90% of SAE CCA rating shown on the top label of battery* * For Marine, Leisure Batteries use 4x 20 hour rating Leave to stand for 4 hour minimum RECHARGE BATTERY Press the Test Key Typically Midtronics reading are reduced by 4A for every °C loss in temperature Latest models - automatically adjust for temperature. For Earlier Midtronic 415 tester use * key Press the Test Key *Note Data differs considerably from Midtronic tester, hence reason for use of 90% rating for testing suspect warranty batteries Use arrow keys to adjust for temperature RECHARGE BATTERY RESULTS RESULTS GOOD BATTERY Battery is fully charged and ready to use REJECT CLAIM GOOD BATTERY Battery is fully charged and ready to use REJECT CLAIM GOOD + RECHARGE Charge battery then ready for use REJECT CLAIM GOOD + RECHARGE Charge battery then ready for use REJECT CLAIM CHARGE + RETEST Charge battery and test again If same results appear after charging then REJECT CLAIM* CHARGE + RETEST Charge battery and test again If same results appear after charging then REJECT CLAIM* REPLACE BATTERY Battery has lost performance due to external factors REJECT CLAIM** BAD CELL BATTERY Battery is defective => ACCEPT CLAIM Replace under warranty terms and conditions If repeated failures from one fleet customer, further investigation of battery overdischarge is required TEST NOT POSSIBLE / CHECK CONNECTION No display - check tester leads contact Check Voltage with digital multimeter as battery could be deeply discharged Switch off all electrical consumers when testing a battery fitted to a vehicle. Multimeter OK , but not Midtronics, then disconnect battery from car and retest NO DISPLAY Despite GOOD CONTACT and RECHARGING Check Voltage with digital multimeter If Voltage = 0 volts ACCEPT CLAIM REPLACE BATTERY / UNSERVICEABLE Battery has lost performance due to external factors Is Start capability less than 60% then REJECT CLAIM** (using 90% of label rating) REPLACE BATTERY / CELL SHORT CIRCUIT Battery is defective => ACCEPT CLAIM Replace under warranty terms and conditions If repeated failures from one fleet customer, further investigation of battery overdischarge is required TEST NOT POSSIBLE / CHECK CONNECTION No display - check tester leads contact Check Voltage with digital multimeter as battery could be deeply discharged Switch off all electrical consumers when testing a battery fitted to a vehicle. Multimeter OK , but not Midtronics, then disconnect battery from car and retest NO DISPLAY Despite GOOD CONTACT and RECHARGING Check Voltage with digital multimeter If Voltage = 0 volts ACCEPT CLAIM Recommended Equipment A voltage meter to check Open Circuit Voltage A recognised brand digital tester (eg Midtronics) A variable high rate discharge tester to check/confirm the batteries ability to start the vehicle A hydrometer to check acid specific gravity and condition A good quality charger to enable discharged units to be recharged Battery Testing Note * The battery has been subjected to excessive charge/discharge whilst in use.This may be a malfunction of the vehicle charging system, as a result of excessive electrical consumers, infrequent vehicle usage or extreme operating conditions (eg Mini cabs service or delivery vehicles) These are not Manufacturing Defects. ** The battery can no longer deliver performance compatible with the original specification, the battery has lost performance due to outside factors, overcharging, undercharging, deep cycling, wear and tear. These are not Manufacturing Defects. YUASA - The world's leading battery manufacturer 177
