| Use this step-by-step checklist to check the status
of the battery. |
| |
 |
Damages to the external surface (i.e. cracks) of
the battery can cause leakage of battery fluid, which
can cause corrosion in the car. A dirty battery surface
can also cause discharge and therefore, should be kept
as clean as possible.
| |
 |
| |
 |
 |
Green:
Battery is properly charged and ready
for use. |
|
Black:
Battery is discharged. Charge the
battery until the |
| |
hydrometer
turns green. |
|
Clear:
Low battery fluid. Inspect the charging
system and replace |
| |
the battery. |
|
|
| |
 |
| After turning off the car engine,
the car should be allowed to rest for at least
1 hour before measuring the voltage. |

※ The voltage (OCV) which it follows in remains
dosage with general fact, is identical in the
product of all types and it is not applied.
|
 |
| Visit the nearest dealer to check.
|
| |
|
|
Check the color in the hydrometer. |
|
Measure the voltage (OCV). |
|
Check for additional corrosion, mileage. |
|
Check the battery name, manufactured date. |
|
Check for any damages on the battery surface.
|
|
Check the terminals. |
|
Check the battery fluid level. |
