How to test a battery for a short or open cell.

 

       The Battery Life Saver™ electronic device will not help a battery or batteries that have an open or shorted cell.  In order to tell if a battery has an open or shorted cell, simply perform the following test.                 

Step 1:  Make sure you turn off any instruments or accessories that will drain the battery or battery system during testing.

Step 2:  Charge the battery or battery system until it is fully charged.

Step 3:  Let the battery or battery system sit for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. This is important because if you measure the voltage immediately after charging, you will not be measuring the true voltage of the battery.

Step 4: With a voltmeter, measure the voltage of each individual battery. In a battery system, you do not need to disconnect each battery, simply connect the voltmeter to the positive and negative terminals of the individual battery.

Step 5:  Reference the chart below to determine if your battery or battery system has a shorted or open cell.  For example, if a 6 volt battery is reading below 4.3 volts it has an open or shorted cell and the battery must be replaced.
