ABUSE TO TERMINALS
- Caused by incorrect fitting of cable clamps.
- Battery installed in reverse position.
- Short circuit applied to the terminals, which causes sparks, lead terminal melting down and even explosion.
- Hole in the terminals to tighten a screw.
- Deformation caused by hammering the terminal.

|
|
OVER CHARGED
- Vehicle charging system at voltages greater than 14,2 Volts
- Battery connected to an external charger at high current and/or voltage for too long
- Battery can become dry or even explode due to high gassing
- The Built-in hydrometer is COLOURLESS or TRANSLUCENT

OPEN CIRCUIT
When there is a break in the internal circuit between the battery Terminals, due to excessive vibrations, shocks and possibly old age.
The hydrometer readings are ok, and the voltage readings may indicate a fully charged battery but when a load test is applied for 10 seconds the amp meter and the voltmeter readings drop down sharply thus indicating an internal break. |
|
|
DISCHARGED
Battery becomes flat with excessive discharges due to accessories misuse and the vehicle used mainly make short frequent trips in urban traffic.
The built-in hydrometer is BLACK. |
|
|
BAD FITTING ON THE TRAY
Can cause severe accidents, leakages, damage to the vehicle, and internal open circuits.
Battery case can deteriorate and loss of active material from the plates will reduce battery cycle life and starting performancen as well. |
