9.12.2 Battery or Batteries
The standard vehicle has one battery. The vehicle with
cold start option has two batteries. In either case the
batteries are 12-volt, lead acid type, negative (-) ground,
maintenance-free batteries rated at 850 cold-cranking
amps. (Refer to appropriate Owners/Operators Manual
for general information.)
a. Battery Description
The battery supplies power to the starter and ignition
system to crank the engine, and it provides extra power
when the electrical load requirements of the vehicle
exceed the supply from the charging system in the event
of an alternator or charging-system failure. The battery
also acts as a voltage stabilizer in the electrical system,
smoothing out or reducing temporarily high voltage.

WARNING:
All lead acid batteries
generate hydrogen gas, which is highly
flammable. If ignited by a spark or flame, the
gas may explode violently, causing spraying of
acid, fragmentation of the battery, and possible
severe personal injuries. Wear safety glasses
when working near batteries. In case of
contact with acid, flush immediately with water.
