TM 5-4320-300-14 Table 4-1 Organizational Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services - Continued W -Weekly Q- Quarterly M -Monthly S- Semiannually Interval Item Item To Be No. W M Q S Inspected Procedures 13 Battery and Cables WARNING Severe burns or blindness may result if battery electrolyte comes in contact with skin or eyes. Rinse skin and eyes thoroughly with cold water if in contact with electrolyte. CAUTION Disconnect battery cable from negative (-) bat- tery post before disconnecting any other leads from engine components. This precaution will prevent short circuits which could damage the alternator, voltage regulator, or other parts. Inspect battery terminals, cables, and posts for corrosion. If corroded, clean with a solution of baking soda (Federal Specification EE-B-86) and water. Take care not to get baking soda solution in the battery cells. Inspect battery for cracks, loose posts, leakage, and other damage. Using a hydrometer, check the specific gravity of the elec- trolyte. The specific gravity of a fully charged battery must be 1.250 minimum at 80° F (26.60C). Measure the tempera- ture of the battery electrolyte with an accurate thermometer. Compare the electrolyte temperature and the hydrometer specific gravity reading to the battery condition chart. Add or subtract (from your specific gravity reading) the decimal next to the temperature in 0 F that closely approximates 4-25
