Disconnect the negative battery cable and visually inspect the battery's state of charge using the indicator eye (if equipped). Charge the battery or add distilled water if needed. Use a hydrometer to check the specific gravity of the electrolyte in each cell. Perform an open circuit voltage test using a digital voltmeter, ensuring the battery voltage is above 12.5 volts. Use a battery load tester to evaluate the battery's ability to handle heavy amperage draw during startup and accessories operation. Cold temperatures may slightly affect the minimum voltage requirements. To test for battery drain, disconnect all accessories and check the current drain using a digital ammeter. Normal drain is around 100 milliamps or less, while excessive drain can cause battery discharge.

To install the new battery, simply reverse the removal process.

Check the battery state of charge using the indicator eye on the top of the battery and performing an open voltage circuit test with a voltmeter. Charge the battery if necessary.

Before servicing the battery, ensure that the engine and all accessories are turned off and disconnect the cable from the negative terminal.

Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable from the negative (-) battery terminal first, then disconnect the positive (+) battery cable from the positive (+) battery terminal.
