Quick Battery Test
A. Charge the Vulcan in a known good charge rack for 12 hours, or until the Green LED
lights.
B. Remove the Vulcan from the charge rack.
C. Place a multimeter into the DC Volts position.
D. Place the red meter lead onto the positive (red) battery terminal and the black meter
lead onto the negative (black) battery terminal.
E. The voltage should measure above 6.5 Volts.
F. If the voltage is less than 6.5 Volts, the battery will need to be replaced.
G. If the voltage is 6.5 Volts or greater, place the battery under load by running the Vulcan
with a six-watt bulb for 10 minutes. Leave the Vulcan ‘on’ during the following test.
H. Re-test the battery as described in Step C above.
I. The voltage should measure between 6.0 Volts and 6.4 Volts.
1. If the voltage is less than 6.0 Volts, the battery will need to be replaced.
2. If the voltage is 6.0 Volts or greater, the battery is probably usable. If the customer’s
complaint is short run time, proceed to the run time test below.
Run Time Test
A. Charge the Vulcan in a known good charge rack for 12 hours, or until the Green LED
lights.
B. Remove the Vulcan from the charge rack.
C. Turn the Vulcan ‘on’ and note the run time. Also observe the lamp intensity.
1. Run time is the time from when the Vulcan is turned on to the point where it
becomes no longer usable.
2. Nominal run times and charge times are listed below.
Lamp Option
Run Time Charge Time (AC) Charge Time (DC)
3 watt spot
6.75 hrs. 12.0 hrs. 10 hrs.
6 watt spot
3.75 hrs. 12.0 hrs. 10 hrs.
8 watt spot
2.75 hrs. 12.0 hrs. 10 hrs.
