SERVICE - Continued
7.
If a battery is removed from a vehicle and the others are still charging, measure the OCV of the other batteries
and replace with a battery of similar OCV (+ 1 VDC is acceptable) or charge the remaining batteries and
install a new battery when they have completed the charging cycle (WP 0010).
8.
Batteries are finished when charge current (amp meter on charger) drops to < 1/2 amp per battery and holds
there for three hours. For example, if four batteries are in the battery box, then overall current should be
< 2 amps. Automatic chargers will stop charging and give a screen reading of "Charge Complete". Some
automatic chargers may not fully recharge with one charge cycle; may or may not indicate a good battery.
Additional charge cycles may be required to ensure full recharge of the battery. If the OCV is unchanged in
two consecutive cycles the battery has reached its capacity. Proceed with testing.
9.
Test batteries individually; see (WP 0010).
