AFTER ROAD TEST
Perform all after-operation weekly and
monthly checks in TM 9-2320-361-10
PMCS. Make the following inspections in
the order given, including kit items on
vehicles so equipped.
WARNING
• Battery acid (electrolyte) is extremely
harmful. Always wear safety goggles
and rubber gloves when performing
battery maintenance. Severe injury will
result if acid contacts eyes or skin.
Failure to do so may result in injury to
personnel.
• Do not smoke, have open flame, or make
sparks when performing battery
maintenance. Batteries may explode
causing severe injury to personnel.
• Remove all jewelry such as rings, dog
tags, and bracelets. If jewelry or
disconnected battery ground cable
contacts battery post, a direct short can
result, causing damage to equipment or
severe injury to personnel.

Clean and inspect battery cables
(WP 0126 00).
c.
If specific gravity of any cell is below
