Removal |
1. |
Disconnect the battery sensor connector (A), battery negative terminal (B) and positive terminal (C). |
2. |
Disconnect the vent hose connector (A) from the battery air vent hole. |
3. |
Remove the mounting bracket (A) and then remove the battery (B). |
Installation |
1. |
Install in the reverse order of removal.
|
Check the battery charging state and, if necessary, recharge the battery. |
Battery temperature should be maintained at about 68°F ~ 86°F (20°C ~ 30°C) during charging of the battery.
|
IU or WU charging technique :
Optimized charging voltage for IU or WU: 14.7V (at 20°C ~ 30°C (68°F ~ 86°F)) about 24 hours
Min. charging voltage at 20°C (68°F): 14.4V
Max. charging voltage at 20°C (68°F): 14.8V
10% of capacity is recommended as charging current (ex : 60Ah : 100% = 6.0A charging current) |
Do not charge the AGM battery with more than 15.2V. No quick-charging routines. |
If the AGM battery is charged with its battery sensor
connected, the sensor may misinterpret the battery condition, causing a
DTC.
Upon the completion of battery charging, let the battery
stand for over 10 hours with normal temperature for battery
stabilization. |
Cleaning |
1. |
Make sure the ignition switch and all accessories are in the OFF position. |
2. |
Remove the battery from the vehicle.
(Refer to Charging System - "Battery")
|
3. |
Inspect the battery tray for damage caused by the loss of
electrolyte. If acid damage is present, it will be necessary to clean
the area with a solution of clean warm water and baking soda. Scrub the
area with a stiff brush and wipe off with a cloth moistened with baking
the baking soda solution |
4. |
Clean the top of the battery with the same solution as described above. |
5. |
Inspect the battery case and cover for cracks. If cracks are present, the battery must be replaced. |
6. |
Clean the battery posts with a suitable battery post tool. |
7. |
Clean the inside surface of the terminal clamps with a
suitable battery cleaning tool. Replace damaged or frayed cables and
broken terminal clamps. |
8. |
Install the battery in the vehicle. |
9. |
Connect the cable terminals to the battery post, making sure tops of the terminals are flush with the tops of the posts. |
10. |
Tighten the terminal nuts securely. |
11. |
Coat all connections with light mineral grease after tightening.
|
Vehicle Parasitic Current Inspection |
1. |
Turn the all electric devices OFF, and then turn the ignition switch OFF. |
2. |
Close all doors except the engine hood, and then lock all doors.
|
3. |
Wait a few minutes until the vehicle’s electrical systems go to sleep mode.
|
4. |
Connect an ammeter in series between the battery (-) terminal
and the ground cable, and then disconnect the clamp from the battery
(-) terminal slowly.
|
5. |
Read the current value of the ammeter.
