Battery With Charge Indicator

Battery With Charge Indicator

Characteristics







- These batteries have a charge indicator.
- The charge indicator (arrow) gives information regarding the acid level and the charge level of the battery to be checked.
- Three different color indications are possible:
- Green -> the battery is sufficiently charged.
- Black -> no charge or charge too low.
- Transparent or yellow -> critical acid level has been reached, distilled water must be topped up.


NOTE: Please observe that if the battery is older than 5 years and the color indication of the charge indicator is transparent, that the battery should be replaced with a new one.


Test sequence


NOTE:
- Especially if a battery was re-charged, i.e. even if the battery was charged during driving operation , air bubbles can form below the charge indicator. These corrupt the color indication of the charge indicator.
- If batteries are equipped with sealing plugs because of production technical reasons, they are covered in plastic foil.


- Before performing a visual check, lightly and carefully tap onto charge indicator using a screwdriver handle.
- This will cause the air bubbles to disappear
- Read color indication of the "charge indicator".
