Battery
Battery (G1):
• AGM (absorbent glass mat)
- 12 V 90 Ah
Pre-fuse Box (F32):
• Power distribution point
• Reduce fire risk in an accident
• Fuses not replaceable
(replace complete assembly)
4
AGM / VRLA Battery Construction
The major differences in construction between
a AGM battery and standard lead acid
automotive battery are:
• Completely sealed case construction
• No liquid electrolyte
• Absorbent glass mat (V) holds electrolyte in contact with positive and negative plates
• Vent valve is normally sealed no gases can escape during normal charging
• Vent valve is only opened if internal pressure exceeds predetermined level
5
AGM / VRLA Battery Properties
• Longer service life
• Improved cold starting
characteristics
• Improved deep cycle
performance
• No liquid acid spills or leaks
• Fast recharge time
• Completely maintenance free
How to Identify AGM Battery:
• Battery label
(VRLA)
Valve Regulated Lead Acid
• No fill marks
• No fill caps
6
AGM / VRLA Battery Testing
• AGM batteries cannot be tested using previous methods (load and acid density tests)
• Requires the new Midtronics MCR 717 tester and printer
• Tester measures battery conductance by inducing A/C voltage of a given frequency and
amplitude on the battery posts and monitoring the current flow in response to it
• Discard the acid density sheet, and enter test code (recorded by tester) on warranty claim
forms
• Battery replaced under warranty must have a test printout attached to the R.O.
• Detailed information about testing, and using the MCR717 can be found in
WIS SI54.10-P-0003-01
