To accurately test a battery, first, disconnect the negative battery cable and conduct the following tests. Visually inspect the battery's state of charge using the indicator eye (if equipped). Charge the battery or add distilled water if needed. Use a hydrometer to check the specific gravity of the electrolyte in each cell. Perform an open circuit voltage test using a digital voltmeter, ensuring the battery voltage is above 12.5 volts. Use a battery load tester to evaluate the battery's ability to handle heavy amperage draw during startup and accessories operation. Cold temperatures may slightly affect the minimum voltage requirements. To test for battery drain, disconnect all accessories and check the current drain using a digital ammeter. Normal drain is around 100 milliamps or less, while excessive drain can cause battery discharge. For battery replacement, disconnect the negative cable first, then the positive cable. Remove the battery thermo-wrap, hold-down clamp, and lift out the battery. Replace it with a battery of identical specifications. When removing the battery tray, disconnect the hose from the vacuum reservoir, remove the mounting bolt and nuts, and lift up the tray while disconnecting the electrical connector from the battery temperature sensor. Wash the tray and reinstall it following the reverse of the removal process.

To install the new battery, simply reverse the removal process.

Remove corrosion with a water and baking soda solution and coat damaged metal parts with a zinc-based primer and paint.

Always disconnect the negative cable first and hook it up last or the battery may be shorted by the tool being used to loosen the cable clamps. First, disconnect the negative (-) battery cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Then, disconnect the positive(+) battery cable from the positive(+) battery terminal. Remove the battery hold-down clamp next. Lift out the battery carefully as it's heavy. While the battery is out, inspect the carrier (tray) for corrosion if you have early models with a metal tray. If you are replacing the battery, make sure you get one that's identical, with the same dimensions, amperage rating, cold cranking rating, etc. On models so equipped, transfer the thermal guard to the new battery. Installation is the reverse of removal. Connect the positive(+) battery cable first, then the negative(-) battery cable second.
