CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
TIP
Since MF batteries are sealed, it is not possible
to check the charge state of the battery by mea-
suring the specific gravity of the electrolyte.
Therefore, the charge of the battery has to be
checked by measuring the voltage at the bat-
tery terminals.
2. Disconnect:
8battery leads
(from the battery terminals)
NOTICE
First, disconnect the negative battery lead

a. Connect a digital circuit tester 1 to the bat-
tery terminals.

Negative tester probe J negative battery terminal
TIP
8 The charge state of an MF battery can be
checked by measuring its open-circuit volt-
age (i.e., the voltage when the positive ter-
minal is disconnected).
1. Remove:
8battery box cover
Refer to “COVER AND PANEL”.
