MALFUNCTION
TEST OR INSPECTION
CORRECTIVE ACTION
BATTERY SYSTEM
2. BATTERlES ARE HOT, ELECTROLYTE IS BOILING, OR EXCESSIVE USE OF WATER
NOTE
If STE/ICE is available, perform NG50 - Charging Circuit Tests
Check electrolyte temperature and specific gravity and note reading (TM 9-6140-200-14).
a. If temperature is over 120F (49C) and specific gravity is 1.280 or greater, batteries
are being overcharged. Go to generating system troubleshooting (malfunction 9,
test 1).
b. If battery temperature is over 120F (49C), but specific gravity is 1.236-1.260,
recharge batteries (TM 9-6 140-200-14).
