Step 4. Inspect batteries (9) for electrolyte level, specific gravity, and discharge rate (TM 9-6140-200-
14).
a. If electrolyte level or specific gravity is low, add water or charge as needed (TM
9-6140-200-14).
b. If discharge rate is too high, replace as needed (page 2-421).
Step 5. Test battery cables (10) for resistance.
a. Remove cables (10) from clamps (11) and (12) and starter (13) using 9116-inch
and 3/4-inch wrenches.
b. Connect ohmmeter to cables (10) one at a time, check reading, and
disconnect.
c. If meter reads more than zero ohms resistance, get rid of cables (10) as
needed.
