Description and operation
[AGM Battery for ISG System] |
AGM
battery is used for especially heavy load on the vehicle network
depending on equipment and requirements. AGM stands for Absorbent Glass
Material Battery, which is absorbent glass fibre fleece. AGM batteries
are fitted to models with high electrical loads or for consumer with
high energy demand.
The constantly increasing energy demand of modern vehicle electrical systems calls for ever more powerful battery solutions.
The power consumption is considerably high even when the vehicle is partked.
The somewhat higher price compared with a battery of similar size is fully balanced by the following benefits:
–
| Significantly longer service life |
–
| Increased starting reliability at low temperatures |
–
| 100% free from maintenance |
–
| Low risk in the event of an accident (reduced risk to the environment) |
Recharging the AGM battery
The battery can be charged by using a battery charger with a constant charging voltage of 14.8 V.
If possible, keep the battery temperature between 20°C (68°F) and 30°C (86°F) during charging.
Only chargers with voltage clamping (IU or WU curve) or chargers with IUoU curve capable of trickle charge can be used.
IU or WU charging technique
Optimized charging voltage for IU or WU: 14.7 V (at 20°C - 30°C (68°F - 86°F)) for about 24 hours Min. charging voltage at 20°C (68°F): 14.4 V Max. charging voltage at 20°C (68°F): 14.8 V 10% of capacity is recommended as charging current (e.g. 60 Ah : 10 = 6.0 A charging current). |
•
| Do not charge an AGM battery with voltage greater than 15.2 V. Do not quick charge the AGM battery. |
|
•
| If
the battery is charged directly at the battery terminals on vehicles
with battery sensor, misinterpretations of battery condition may occur,
and under certain circumstances, unwanted 'Check Control' message or
faulty memory can be prompted. When recharging is finished, let the battery stand for over 10 hours at normal temperature for battery stabilization. |
|
Repair procedures
Battery
1. | Turn the ignition switch OFF. |
2. | Disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal (A).
|
3. | Disconnect the battery positive (+) terminal (A).
|
4. | Remove the battery mounting bracket (A) after loosening the mounting bolt. |
5. | Remove the battery (B).
|
Battery tray
1. | Remove the battery.
(Refer to Charging System - "Battery")
|
2. | Remove the ECM.
(Refer to Engine Control / Fuel System - "Engine Control Module (ECM)")
|
3. | Remove the battery tray (A) after loosening the mounting bolts.
|
1. | Install in the reverse order of removal. •
| When installing the battery, fix the mounting bracket on the tray correctly. |
|
•
| After disconnecting then reconnecting the battery negative cable, reset some parts that require the reset procedures.
(Refer to Body Electrical System - "General Information")
|
|
•
| When installing the battery, fix the mounting bracket on the tray correctly. |
|
•
| ISG
(Idle stop & go) system equipped vehicle uses the AGM battery only.
Installing a flooded battery may potentially lead to engine electrical
trouble or ISG system error. |
•
| Replace with an AGM battery of the same capacity. |
|
•
| Ensure that an AGM battery is fitted. |
•
| In all cases, an AGM battery must be installed and registered in the vehicle for the ISG function to work perfectly. |
•
| After
replacing with a new battery, the vehicle must stand for at least 4
hours with the ignition switch OFF, doors closed and hood switch OFF. |
•
| ISG system stabilization may take 4 hours after installing a new battery. |
•
| After standing for 4 hours, the ISG function will operate with 2 cranks by the user. However,
for the first 25 times, the ISG function can operate regardless of ISG
system stability for ISG function operation check. |
|
•
| Do not open the AGM battery. The
AGM battery must not be opened under any circumstances as the
introduction of oxygen from the air will cause the battery to lose its
chemical equilibrium and become non-operational. |
|
|
Battery charging
In general, vehicle battery charging system has three forms.
1. | Constant
current charge: The battery voltage gradually rises by charging at a
constant current setting. If charging current and time are not managed
correctly, the battery may be overcharged. Therefore, stop charging
after confirming the completion of charging. –
| General charge: Charging the battery for a long time with low current |
–
| Quick charge: Charging the battery for a short time with high current |
|
2. | Constant voltage charge: The battery charging current gradually reduces by charging at a constant voltage setting. |
If
the battery is charged directly at the battery terminals on vehicles
with battery sensor, misinterpretations of battery condition may occur,
and under certain circumstances, unwanted 'Check Control' message or
faulty memory can be prompted. When recharging is finished, let the battery stand for over 10 hours at normal temperature for battery stabilization. |
Battery Voltage and Status
Check the battery voltage and status by using a battery tester.
Battery Terminal
1. | Move back and forth to check if the battery terminals (A) are loose or corroded. Clean any corroded terminals.
If
the battery positive connection is loose, disconnect the ground (GND)
cable first before attempting to remove or tighten the positive
connection to prevent personal injury. |
2. | If the battery clamp on positive (+) battery terminal is not seated securely: (1) | Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal. |
(2) | Tighten battery clamp (A) on positive (+) battery terminal.
Positive (+) battery terminal:
7.8 - 9.8 N·m (0.8 - 1.0 kgf·m, 5.8 - 7.2 lb·ft) |
|
|
3. | If the battery clamp on negative (-) battery terminal is not seated securely: (1) | Tighten battery clamp (A) on negative (-) battery terminal.

the belts and connections are in good working condition, replace the
alternator. (Older vehicles use external voltage regulators, which may
require replacement of the voltage regulator only.) |
| LOW OUTPUT
| Alternator does not supply charging current to battery and electrical load to system fully.
–
| Check belts and alternator and replace as necessary. |
| HIGH OUTPUT
| The voltage from alternator to battery is higher than normal limit during voltage regulation.
–
| Check connection and ground and replace regulator as necessary. |
–
| Check electrolyte level in the battery. |
| EXCESSIVE RIPPLE
| The voltage from alternator to battery is higher than normal limit during voltage regulation.
–
| Check alternator mounting and belts and replace as necessary. |
| CHARGE BATTERY

4. | Inspect
the battery tray for damage caused by the loss of electrolyte. If acid
damage is present, it will benecessary to clean the are a with a
solution of clean warm water and baking soda. Scrub the area with a
stiff brush and wipe off with a cloth moistened with baking soda and
water |
5. | Clean the top of the battery with the same solution as described above. |
6. | Inspect the battery case and cover for cracks. If cracks are present, the battery must be replaced. |
7. | Clean the battery posts with a suitable battery post tool. |
8. | Clean
the inside surface of the terminal clamps with a suitable battery
cleaning tool. Replace damaged or frayed cables and broken terminal
clamps. |
9. | Install the battery in the vehicle. |
10. | Connect the cable terminals to the battery post, making sure tops of the terminals are flush with the tops of the posts . |
11. | Tighten the terminal nuts securely. |
12. | Coat all connections with light mineral grease after tightening. •
| When
batteries are being charged, an explosive gas forms beneath the cover
of each cell. Do not smoke near batteries being charged or
which have recently been charged. Do not break live circuit at the
terminals of batteries being charged. A spark will occur when the circuit is broken. Keep open flames away from battery. |
