• Check battery voltage for each battery separately when fully charged. Fully charged the total open circuit voltage should be above 12.6 V (2.1 V per cell).
  • A fully charged battery voltage around 10 V indicates a dead cell and battery needs replacement
• Check condition of the battery poles and connectors. They should be kept clean for good electrical conduction.
• Check that the 3 battery cables are not damaged
