Visual Inspection

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2019 Porsche 911, 2018 Porsche 911, 2017 Porsche 911, 2016 Porsche 911, and 2015 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Before taking measurements, e.g. measuring the open-circuit voltage or before carrying out the battery load test, a visual inspection of the battery must be performed.

This inspection can be used to determine:

Whether the housing of the battery is damaged. The leak-free operation and function of the battery cannot be guaranteed if the housing is damaged.
Whether the battery terminals (battery line connections) are damaged. Contact of the line connections cannot be guaranteed if the battery terminals are damaged. This can cause a line fire and malfunctions in the electrical system.
