Manual op Inspection 363 Surface Inspection of Batteries.—If the capacity tests are satisfactory andthe batteries conform to specifications, they are then ready for the surfaceinspection. In making the surface inspection of the batteries it is well to place to-gether in line all trays belonging to a set of batteries, as in this way therecord of the inspection is easily kept track Fig. 132j.—Showing Celluloid Instruction Sheet Secured to Inside of Battery Tray Cover Now, in order to insure that all cells in each tray are in good conditionand that they are connected up properly with regard to polarity the terminalvoltage of each tray should be checked. If a cell should happen to be re-versed, short-circuited, or contain any other serious defect, the voltage read-ing will usually serve as a means of detecting the defective cell. In portablebatteries manufactured for the naval service the positive terminal should be 364 Storage Battery Manual to the right hand when facing the front of the tray, the front being the sideon which is secured the battery name-plate. Specific gravity readings of the electrolyte should be taken to see thatthe acid is of the prescribed full charge density. Also see that the height of
