Accept claim, if the battery warranty claim was accepted in any of the Steps 1 through 6.Terms And Definitions
Absorbed Glass Mat - A type of non-woven separator material comprised almost entirely of glass microfibers that absorb and retains the electrolyte leaving no free electrolyte in the cell to spill. Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries made with this material are often referred to as AGM batteries.Ampere (Amp) (A) - The amount of current flow through a circuit.Amp Hour Rating - The Amp hour rating is determined by testing a fully charged battery at a temperature of 26.7 °C (80 °F). A constant low drain for 20 hours is required.At the end of that time, the voltage of each battery cell must be 1.75 V or more.Battery - A device for generating an electric current by chemical reactionBattery Cell - A battery cell is used for converting chemical energy into electric energy.Battery Charger - A device for replacing electricity in a battery that was removed during the discharge cycleBattery Load Test - A procedure to check the ability of a battery. The procedure determines if the battery can carry a charge, and if the battery can sustain a charge.Battery Load Tester - Equipment used to perform a battery load test. The battery load tester will measure the battery terminal voltage at the end of a specified time while the battery is under a specified load current.Charging - The process of replacing electricity in a battery that was removed during the discharge cycle.Circuit - A closed path followed by an electrical current. Described as a complete path for a closed circuit and a disconnected path for an open circuitCold Cranking Amp (CCA) - A measure of the battery ability to deliver a current under cold conditionsThe rating (CCA) is the minimum amperage which must be maintained by the battery at −17.8 °C (0 °F) for 30 seconds. At the end of the 30 seconds, each battery cell must have a minimum of 1.2 V.Corrosion - An accumulation of solid sulfates of iron, copper, or other metals. Corrosion usually accumulates around the battery terminals. The accumulation can cause poor electrical contact between the battery cables and the battery terminals. Poor contact between the battery cables and the terminals can reduce the flow of voltage to the starter. Poor electrical contact can also STOP the flow of voltage to the starter.Cycle - The discharge and corresponding recharge of a battery (lead acid).Direct Current (DC) - An electrical current that flows in one direction only.A fully charged battery (lead acid) has a direct current (DC). When the battery is discharged, direct current must be used to recharge the battery.Discharge - When the electrical power is drained from a battery, the battery has been discharged.Dry Charged - A battery that is shipped and stored without electrolyte
