Check and Record Battery Float Voltage
Interval Perform this procedure monthly.
Guidelines • The float voltage can be read four ways:
– at the charger
– at the battery monitor
– with a volt/ohm meter at the battery disconnect
– at the battery terminals
• Check meter accuracy and calibration periodically.
Caution
• Use extreme caution when making voltage readings to prevent
accidental grounding or shorting of leads during test operations.
Connections at the meter should be secure and free of any
possibility of touching or becoming grounded.
• Never remove connections at the meter end without first
disconnecting the test leads from the battery. Remove test lead
connections at the battery immediately after each reading is taken.
