Battery System Testing

A battery system must be inspected and tested at regular intervals. There are many reasons to thoroughly inspect a battery system:

• Battery charger settings need attention
• Faulty charging shortens a battery’s service life
• Voltages can vary so much from cell to cell that an equalizing charge is needed
• There may be corrosion on the terminal posts and at internal connections
• Leakage
• Improper ambient temperature and/or ventilation
