The Battery Life Saver™ electronic device will not help a battery or

batteries that have an open or shorted cell. In order to tell if a battery as

an open or shorted cell, simply perform the following tests. You will need

a voltmeter and a hydrometer to perform both of these tests. IMPORTANT:

Please review our Safety Precautions on page 9 before handling or test-

ing any battery!

Safety First! Wear protective clothing, goggles and gloves when handling

batteries.

Step 1: Physical & Mechanical Inspection

A mechanical inspection is really important as it can save you from future

battery trouble. Replace cracked or broken batteries, clean or replace

rusted or broken connections. On flooded/wet batteries check the water

levels. The water level should be high enough to just cover the plates.

Use only distilled water and do not overwater as it can spill and electro-

lyte is corrosive.

Step 2: Preparing the Tests

a.) Turn off any instruments or accessories that will drain the bat-

tery or battery system during testing.

b.) Charge the battery or battery system until it is fully charged .

c.) If the system has multiple batteries connected, we recom-

mend to disconnect them from each other. Let the batteries sit for 4 to 12

hours, the longer the better. This important because if you measure the

voltage immediately after charging, you will not be measuring the true

voltage of the battery.

Step 3: Testing for a Short Cell

a.) With a voltmeter, measure the voltage of each individual bat-

tery.

b.): Reference the chart on the next page to determine if a bat-

tery has a shorted cell.
