Capacity too low. The voltage drops sharply
The battery is dead
Recharge the battery.
Charging voltage is too low
Check the voltage regulator, replace if necessary.
The connecting terminals are loose or corroded
Clean the terminals and tighten the clamp bolts.
Bad ground connection (-) battery-engine-body
Check the connections, install new wire if necessary, tighten the bolted connections. Replace rusty bolts with tin-plated bolts.
Excessive self-discharge of the battery due to contamination of the electrolyte
Replace the battery.
Battery sulfation
Charge the battery with a small current. If the power remains low after charging, replace the battery.
The battery has served its purpose. The active mass of the plates precipitated
Replace the battery.
Insufficient battery charge while driving
The generator, voltage regulator or connecting wires are faulty
- Check the generator and voltage regulator.
- Repair or replace if necessary.
The V-belt is loose. The tensioner is faulty
Check the tensioner. Replace the V-belt if necessary.
Too many current consumers are connected to the on-board network
Install a battery with a higher capacity or a more powerful generator.
Low electrolyte level
Overload, evaporation (especially in summer)
Add distilled water to the specified level (with a charged battery).
Electrolyte density is too low
The battery is dead
Charge the battery.

The density of the electrolyte in one cell is significantly lower than in the others
Compartment short circuit. Replace the battery.
The density of the electrolyte in the two adjacent compartments is significantly lower than in the others
Short circuit in the on-board electrical system
Check the on-board electrical system.
