    Aircraft Battery Inspection

    Aircraft battery inspection consists of the following items:


    1. Inspect battery sump jar and lines for condition and security.
    2. Inspect battery terminals and quickly disconnect plugs and pins for
    evidence of corrosion, pitting, arcing, and burns. Clean as required.
    3. Inspect battery drain and vent lines for restriction, deterioration, and
    security.
    4. Routine preflight and postflight inspection procedures should include
    observation for evidence of physical damage, loose connections, and electrolyte
    loss.
