4. DETAILED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2. IF TEST FAILED

The Fail lamp illuminates if the discharge has been
discontinued because the cutoff voltage has been
reached before the completion of the set discharge
time. The red LED goes out, but the time is frozen at
the elapsed time at which the test failed. The battery is
in need of reconditioning or must be rejected for
aircraft service. Refer to the battery manufacturer's
maintenance manual on how to proceed.

If the lead-acid battery has been accepted by the Beta D-50 discharge test it has
successfully completed the capacity test.

Check each cell with a digital voltmeter near the end of the test.
A. If no cells have dropped below 1.0 volts at the end of the specified time the battery
has successfully completed the capacity test.
B. If any cells have dropped below 1.0 volt before or at the end of the capacity test the
battery must be reconditioned (deep cycled). Please refer to the battery manufacturer's
maintenance manual on how to proceed.
