Check Battery Charge Level
WARNING!
• The electrolyte generates combustible gas
and presents explosion hazard. Do not
bring any fire close to the electrolyte.
• The electrolyte is a hazardous substance.
Avoid contact with eyes or skin. Should it
come into the contact with eyes or skin,
wash the affected area with plenty of water
and consult a physician.
Check the status by the colour displayed on the
meter on the top of the battery.
Fig. 5-47
The meter indications are as follows:
Green: Normal, with no problems.
Black: Charge is low. Recharge the battery.
White: Inspect the exterior.
NOTICE:
If the meter indication remains black even after
the battery has been recharged, the battery may
be at the end of its life cycle and therefore should
be replaced.
If the meter indication is white, check that the
casing is not damaged and there is no fluid
leakage. Replace if it is damaged.
Even if no exterior damage is visible, it may be
damaged internally or it may be at the end of its
life cycle and therefore should be replaced.
