When discharging the battery during 15 seconds at half currency of Cold Cranking Power (CCP), the voltage of the battery should be as shown below.
Ambient Temperature | Voltage |
above 20°C | 9.6V |
~ 18°C | 9.5V |
~ 10°C | 9.4V |
~ 4°C | 9.3V |
~ -1°C | 9.1V |
~ -7°C | 8.9V |
~ -12°C | 8.7V |
When the voltage is not within specification, repeat the load test again, and re-charge.
If the battery is left alone for 2 hours after re-charging and its output is over 12.5V, and the voltage after a load test is over the standard value,the battery can be used.
