There are two types of battery tests: Unloaded and 
Loaded. The unloaded test is the procedure that will 
be discussed. It’s the simplest and most commonly 
used. An unloaded test is made on a battery without 
discharging current. To perform unloaded testing, 
check charge condition using either a hydrometer or 
voltmeter. 
1.  Using a voltmeter, voltage readings appear 
instantly to show the state of charge. Remember to 
hook the positive lead to the battery’s positive 
terminal, and the negative lead to the negative 
terminal. 
2.  A hydrometer measures the specific gravity of 
each cell. The specific gravity tells the degree of 
charge; generally, a specific gravity of about 1.265 
to 1.280 indicates full charge. A reading of 1.230 to 
1.260 indicates the battery should be charged 
before testing. The chart on the next page shows 
the charge level as measured by syringe float 
hydrometer, digital voltmeter and five ball 
hydrometer. 

1.  Remove battery from carton. 
2.  Place battery in a well ventilated area on a level 
non-concrete surface. 
3.  Remove battery cell caps. Fill cells as required 
with electrolyte (purchased separately) to proper 
level. Fill to 3/16” above cell plates. Filling battery 
with electrolyte will bring the battery to 80% charged 
state. 
4.  With cell caps removed, connect battery charger to 
battery terminals; RED to positive (+) and BLACK to 
negative (-) terminal. 

 
 

IMPORTANT: 3/16” above cell plates is the 
recommended level. DO NOT place anything in battery 
other than specified electrolyte. 

5.  Slow charge the battery at 1 amp for 2 hours to 
bring the battery to full charge. 
6.  After charging, check level of electrolyte and 
add as needed to bring level to 3/16” above cell 
plates. 
7.  Reinstall cell caps. 
8.  Install battery into power unit. 
9.  Connect positive (+) cable (red) first, from 
wiring harness to the positive terminal (+) on 
battery using bolt and nut provided in hardware 
bag. Connect negative (-) cable (black) last, to 
negative terminal (-) on battery using bolt and nut. 
Apply a small amount of grease over terminals to 
prevent corrosion. 
10.  Install battery retainer and positive terminal 
cover.
