and load test if the voltage is less than 12.6V. If the
voltage is still below 12.6V, the battery is defective.
Charging State Inspection
●The battery can be checked by measuring the battery
terminal voltage with a voltmeter [A].
●Disassemble the battery
●Measure the battery terminal voltage
*Note
○
Use a digital voltmeter which can read a decimal
place to measure the voltage
●If the reading is 12.6V or higher, no additional energy
is required; however, i
f the reading is below the
specified value, the power needs to be supplemented.
The terminal voltage and charging method are shown in
the table below:
11.5-12.6V 0.9A × 5-10h
●After the power is supplemented, the battery state is
confirmed and the charging is completed, let the battery
stand for 30 minutes and then determine the battery
state by measuring the terminal voltage according to
the following table.
Standard Judgement
12.6V or above Good
12.0-12.6V Undercharge→Repeated
Less than 12.0V Unavailable→Replacement
●During inspection, the battery shall be tested with an
avometer under the complete charging state.
●Install the completely charged battery after the engine
is heated.
●Connect the voltmeter between the terminals of
battery.
●Start the engine and increase the speed slowly to
measure the limiting voltage.
Limiting voltage/speed: 15V (5000rpm) (DCV
range)
●Check the voltage regulator when the limiting voltage
is not within the range of specified value.
Magneto
* Note
○The charge coil of magneto can be checked on the
