1. Disconnect both wires from the battery.

The negative wire always has to be disconnected first of all and be connected in the last. If the stereosystem established on the car is equipped with a security code before disconnecting the battery make sure that you have the correct combination for introduction of the equipment to action!

2. Check electrolyte level in the battery (concerns only equipped with removable covers the batteries needing service) - electrolyte has to hide completely lamels, otherwise in banks the corresponding amount of the distilled water follows. DO NOT POUR, - excess of electrolyte at excessive battery charging will begin to overflow mouths! By means of the areometer (ask in shops of automobile accessories) measure the specific weight of electrolyte. Uncover jellied mouths and take away the areometer electrolyte test serially from each of battery cans. Following instructions of manufacturers, determine the specific weight of electrolyte by the provision of a measuring float of the device. At the normal level of a charge the specific weight of electrolyte has to make 1.270 units (a green zone of a measuring scale). At excessively low density of electrolyte (a red zone of a scale) the battery should be charged (see the Head Nastroyki and routine maintenance). The batteries which are not needing service are usually equipped with the special color indicator. When the spot in an observation port of the indicator gains black color, it is necessary to make battery charging immediately. Having finished with check of density of electrolyte, it is necessary to perform measurement of output tension of the battery by means of the digital voltmeter.

Before connection of the voltmeter it is necessary to remove a superficial charge from the battery, - approximately for 10 seconds turn on driving beam, then disconnect everything onboard consumers of the electric power and wait about two minutes. At the switched-off engine and the disconnected consumers of the electric power connect the black probe of the voltmeter to the negative plug of the battery. Connect the red probe to the positive plug. The output tension of the battery has to make 11.5 ÷ 12.5 B or is slightly higher. The nominal rate of density of electrolyte is defined depending on the ambient temperature (and it is directly proportional to it), - use the map of temperatures delivered by manufacturers in a set to the battery. At positive results of the checks described above need for testing of the battery under loading (see below) disappears.

3. More exact check of a condition of the battery can be made by means of the universal measuring instrument (ask in shops of automobile accessories). The device allows to define ability of the battery to provora-to a chivaniye of a starter and giving of food to onboard consumers of the electric power at the raised loads of the engine. Connect the measuring instrument to battery plugs (see an accompanying illustration). Follow instructions of manufacturers of the device - at 15-second inclusion of loading tension of the battery should not fall below, than to value 9.6 B, otherwise the battery needs to be replaced.

At ambient temperatures below 0 °C the minimum admissible indication decreases up to 9.1 Century.

2. Release fixture and remove a clamping level of fastening of the battery on the pallet.

3. Remove the battery from the pallet.

Special brackets with handles are issued. Use of such brackets significantly simplifies the procedure of extraction of the battery from a motive compartment.

4. Attentively examine the pallet on existence of traces of corrosion.
5. In case of need give fixture and take the pallet from a motive compartment for the purpose of removal of corrosion products from it and carrying out the corresponding protective metal working (use primers on a zinc basis).
6. When replacing track that the replaceable battery corresponded on the performance data to requirements of your car.
7. Installation is made upside-down.
