SulphationNBSC0003S0201A battery will be completely discharged if it is left unattended
for a long time and the specific gravity will become less than
1.100. This may result in sulphation on the cell plates.
To determine if a battery has been ªsulphatedº, note its volt-
age and current when charging it. As shown in the figure, less
current and higher voltage are observed in the initial stage of
charging sulphated batteries.
A sulphated battery may sometimes be brought back into ser-
vice by means of a long, slow charge, 12 hours or more, fol-
lowed by a battery capacity test.

SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECKNBSC0003S031. Read hydrometer and thermometer indications at eye level.

Trouble Diagnoses with
Battery/Starting/Charging System Tester
NBSC0018CAUTION:
When working with batteries, always wear appropriate eye
protection.
NOTE:
ITo ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery,
starter and alternator test segments must be done as a set
from start to finish.
IIf battery surface charge is detected while testing, the tester
will prompt you to turn on the headlights to remove the surface
charge.
IIf necessary, the tester will prompt you to determine if the bat-
tery temperature is above or below 0ÉC (32ÉF). Choose the
appropriate selection by pressing the up or down arrow button,
then press ªENTERº to make the selection.

1. Turn off all loads on the vehicle electrical system. Clean or
repair as necessary.
2. Visually inspect the battery, battery terminals and cable ends
with ignition switch in ªOFFº position.
NOTE:
The contact surface between the battery terminals, cable ends and
tester leads must be clean for a valid test. A poor connection will
prevent testing and a ªCHECK CONNECTIONº message will
appear during the test procedures. If this occurs, clean the battery
post and terminals, reconnect them and restart the test.
3. Connect the red tester lead clamp to the positive battery
terminal, and the black to the negative terminal.
SEL405X
4. The tester will turn on automatically. Using the arrow keys,
select ªIN VEHICLEº on the tester and then press the ªENTERº
key.
