TESTING
Test 1 – Battery Test (12 and 24 VDC)
To test the 12 VDC accessory system voltage using a digital
multimeter, record the voltage before and during cranking. A
voltage reading of 12 volts or less before cranking may
indicate a charging system fault. A drop of 4 volts or more
indicates the battery is failing.
Test the 12 VDC starting batteries connected in series for 24
volts using a digital multimeter, record voltage before and
during cranking. A voltage reading of 24 volts or less before
cranking may indicate a charging system fault. A drop of 8
volts or more during cranking indicates a failing battery.
