Battery, checking<br />

Página 28 de 28<br />

27-33<br />

A battery is in good condition if the voltage<br />

measured by the tester during the battery<br />

test drops gradually and does not fall below<br />

a specified value. The rate of decrease<br />

varies and depends on the battery capacity<br />

and cold cranking amp rating ("cold cranking<br />

amps" is the rated ability of the battery to<br />

perform at low temperatures and with high<br />

loads i.e.: high compression engines).<br />

A battery is either faulty or in a low state of<br />

charge if the voltage measured during the<br />

battery test drops quickly and falls below the<br />

specified voltage.<br />

After performing the battery test, a faulty<br />

battery will remain below the specified<br />

voltage and may only recover very slowly<br />

over a long period of time. The no load<br />

voltage ( Page 27-27 ) is never reached.<br />

Such batteries no longer have sufficient<br />

reserve and load capacity and must be<br />

replaced.<br />
