Model 36271
Failure to test “rested” (see pg. 9) batteries will cause false
readings. Be certain to read and understand all safety related
instructions (pages 3 to 7) before proceeding further.
2. Measure battery voltage, without any load attached. If the
voltage is less than 37.2 volts (Typically 50% of charge) the
battery may be too heavily sulfated to be fully recoverable. If
voltage is 37.2-V or higher full recovery can be expected, given
sufficient time (average 1-2 weeks for batteries that are heavily
sulfated).
3. Connect the BatteryMINDer to the batteries.
4. Charge batteries to their maximum level. Allow batteries
to remain for a minimum of 72 hours before retesting. If
improvement is seen, continue until battery voltage reaches full
capacity level or no further increase is seen.
OCV - “Rested”
Voltage
Full Capacity
Percentage
38.7 - 39.3 Volts 100%
37.8 - 38.7 Volts 75%
37.2 - 37.8 Volts 50%
36.6 - 37.2 Volts 25%
36.0 - 36.6 Volts 0%
<33 Volts
= shorted
OCV=Open Circuit No Load Voltage
