2.3 Visual inspection of the battery
WARNING
♦ There is a risk of accident when working on the battery.
Observe the warning instructions and safety precautions
⇒ i1.3 nstructions and safety precautions when working
on the battery”, page 4 .
A visual inspection of the outer state of the battery and of the
fixed battery connections must be carried out before compre‐
hensive measurements.
During the visual inspection determine:
♦ If the battery housing is not damaged. In the event of dam‐
age to the battery housing e.g. the excess acid can lead
to severe vehicle damage (not valid for fleece batteries).
In the event of excess acid, the contaminated components
must be immediately treated with neutralizing agent or with a
detergent. Paint damage must be repaired by a specialist.
♦ If the battery terminals (connections of the battery cable) are
not damaged and if the fixed connection of the terminals
is not destroyed in the event of damage to the battery termi‐
nals.
Caution
When connecting the battery terminals, observe the work
procedure in the prescribed workshop manual ⇒ c1.5 onnec‐
tions of battery poles”, page 6 .
♦ To see whether the battery is seated properly in the vehicle,
see the assembly workflow of the battery in the associated
vehicle.
