    Battery Information
    SMCS - 1401

    Personal injury can result from battery fumes or explosion.

    Batteries give off flammable fumes that can explode. Electrolyte is an acid
    and can cause personal injury if it contacts the skin or eyes.

    Prevent sparks near the batteries. Sparks could cause vapors to explode.
    Do not allow jumper cable ends to contact each other or the engine.
    Improper jumper cable connections can cause an explosion.

    Always wear protective glasses when working with batteries.

    The 1U-7297 Coolant/Battery Tester (Fahrenheit) or the 1U-7298 Coolant/Battery Tester (Celsius) are
    available for testing the condition of the battery fluid and for checking the freezing point of the coolant.
    These testers are optical refractometers. The optical refractometer will automatically compensate for
    temperature. The readings are correct without adjustment for temperature.

    The temperature of the battery affects the battery's cranking power. When the battery is too cold, the battery
    will not crank the engine, even though the engine is warm. Keeping the battery warm will maintain at least
    70 percent of the battery's cranking power. When possible, keep the batteries warm. Batteries may be stored
    in a warm environment or the battery compartment can be heated.

    Whenever the engine operates below the normal rpm, the batteries may not be recharged. Whenever an
    engine is not being operated in cold weather, use a battery charger to keep the battery charged. A full
    charge prevents the battery from freezing.

    All batteries should be kept charged to a corrected specific gravity of 1.250 or above.

    If a hydrometer is used in place of the recommended refractometer, use the following table or follow the
    procedure to correct the reading.

    In order to achieve the corrected reading, use the following procedure.

    At the temperature of 27°C (81°F), the specific gravity should be 1.220. Subtract .004 from the reading for
    each increment of 6°C (10°F) below 27°C (81°F). The result should be 1.220.

    1.280.
