BATTERY TESTING

Battery testing has changed in recent years; although the three areas are basically the same, the equipment has improved.

1. Visual Inspection

2. State of Charge
    a. Specific Gravity
    b. Open Circuit Voltage

3. Capacity or Heavy Load Test

Note: This does not include the Midtronics battery tester which has a different test procedure and will be discussed later in this module.
