eye), checking<br />

WARNING!<br />

Prior to handling or servicing<br />

batteries, read, understand and<br />

observe the Warning and Safety<br />

Measures for lead-acid batteries<br />

Page 27-4 .<br />

Identification<br />

Battery cell caps -2- covered with<br />

plastic foil.<br />

Charge indicator -1- displays<br />

electrolyte level and charge<br />

condition.<br />

Notes:<br />

As the charge indicator is located<br />

in a single cell, the indication is<br />

only valid for that cell. An exact<br />

assessment of battery condition<br />

should always be confirmed by<br />

performing battery test Page<br />

27-30 .<br />

If the charge indicator on<br />

batteries in excess of 5 years old<br />

are colorless, DO NOT attempt<br />

to top and/or recharge battery.<br />

Battery must be replaced.<br />

Air bubbles that occur normally<br />

during battery charging (even<br />

during vehicle operation) may<br />

adversely affect charge indicator<br />

reading. To obtain an accurate<br />

reading, gently tap the charge<br />

indicator with a screwdriver<br />

handle or rock the vehicle in<br />

order to displace any possible air<br />

bubbles that have formed.<br />
