REPAIR
1. Battery condition
Do a polarisation test (Refer to paragraph 2) if you find these defects
on the battery (after a removal that was not scheduled or before regular
maintenance):
- The polarity of the cells is incorrect
- The battery open voltage is less than 21 V.
Do an added test (Refer to paragraph 3) if you find these defects on the
battery (during regular maintenance or general overhaul):
- The voltages at the end of the charge are too low
- The voltage during the charge is too high
- The capacity is not sufficient
- The water consumption is incorrect.
2. Polarisation test
- Charge the battery at 1.6 A for 1.5 hour.
- Keep the battery in the "open circuit" condition for 1 hour.
- Measure the open voltage of every cell.
If the cell open voltage is 0 V (or opposite). do an added test (refer
to paragraph 3). Then repair.
If each cell has an open voltage that is more than 0 V, charge the
battery (Refer to one of the procedures given in "DESCRIPTION AND
OPERATION",
paragraph 2.A (21, for a fully discharged battery).
