CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Open door of battery compartment.
Ensure battery cables are correctly

Visually check connections of
battery cables (WP 0127 00).
2. Visually check batteries for cracks
1. If any battery is cracked, leaking,

(TM 9-6140-200-14).
2. If terminal posts or cables are
corroded, use soda-and-water
solution to neutralize battery acid.
3. Remove battery ground cable no. 7
from negative post first. Remove
cable clamps from battery posts.
Clean posts and mating surfaces to
bright metal (WP 0126 00).
4. If battery terminals are clean and
malfunction still exists, go to
test 1.
Test 1. Check specific gravity of each
cell before adding distilled
water.
1. Using optical battery tester,

80 F [27 C] if necessary) after 8
hours of charging, replace battery
