Battery capacity is OK. Battery may or
may not be fully charged. Check spe-
cific gravity of battery to determine state
of charge, check for electrical drain or
possible charging system trouble. Re-
charge battery to full level.
Battery capacity is not satisfactory. Bat-
tery may be either defective or not fully
charged. Check specific gravity to de-
termine which condition exists. If charg-
ing does not bring specific gravity to full
charge level, battery should be replaced.
Battery may be defective or very run
down. Release load switch and note volt
meter reaction. Voltage recovery to 12
volt or above within seconds indicates
defective battery. Slow voltage recovery
indicates run down condition. For best
results, check specific gravity.
