Low Maintenance Battery - OCV- Open
Circuit Voltage Test
Battery voltage should be checked with a digital
multitester. Readings of 12.8 volts or less require further
battery testing and charging. See charts and Load Test.
NOTE: Lead-acid batteries should be kept at or near
a full charge as possible. If the battery is stored or
used in a partially charged condition, or with low
electrolyte levels, hard crystal sulfation will form on
the plates, reducing the efficiency and service life of
the battery.
Use a voltmeter or multimeter to test battery voltage.
