You will need a voltmeter. Hook the red cable to the + post and the black cable to the - post and it will show the voltage.

What does the voltage of a battery tell you?

the flow of electricity


How do you tell if your lawn tractor is 12v or 6v?

The best way is by the number of lids or cells in the battery. Each cell is approx. 2 volts. 6 volt has 3 lids 12 volt has 6 lids.


What year was your craftsman lawn tractor model 917.255920 serial number 0291S03407 built?

The first 6 digits of a Craftsman lawn tractor serial number will tell you the month, day and year it was built. So, if your serial number is 1599SO6258, your tractor was built on January 5, 1999.


How can you tell if battery is bad on lawn tractor?

Is my battery "bad" or not?The way I check out any vehicular battery is to first fully charge it.I then I allow it to sit overnight, and then take the battery to my local auto parts store [O'Reilly Autozone, NAPA, or Advance for examples]. Most of the major auto parts chain stores have handheld portable testers for all kinds of issues, including battery charge and "under load" condition.After being fully charged and standing overnight, the battery will be ready for this load and voltage testing. Naturally, if it passes it's OK, and if it's worn out or defective, that will show up in the load test.


How do you tell if a battery is or is not working?

You check the voltage under load. Even a bad battery may have good voltage if no current is flowing, so you need an appropriate "test" load.


How do you tell if car battery is dead or can still take a charge?

below its desired voltage


How do you detect the charge level of rechargeable battery .. is there any special circuit to do that?

If you want to know the voltage of any battery you need a volt meter. These can be as cheap as 15- hundreds of dollars. Knowing the voltage still doesn't tell you if a rechargable battery is fully charged or not. a charger with an indicater can tell you that.


Where can you get the owners manual for a Craftman lawn tractor model 944602521?

I can tell you little except that it is made by Husqvarna. They have Customer service toll free numbers, however.


What is the lowest voltage for car battery and still be good?

The lowest voltage a battery can drop to during cranking while still starting the car is 9.6v. You can tell a battery's state of charge by the voltage (12.6v is fully charged, 12.0v is low), but the way to tell if a battery is bad is to look at how the voltage changes under load. Most battery testers put a load of half the cold cranking amperage indicated on the battery and look for the voltage to drop below 9.6v, in which case the battery is determined to be bad. Another way to do it at home is to charge the battery at high amperage (can be done by revving the engine slightly and turning off electronics) and, using a voltmeter, look for the voltage to be above 15.5v. This indicates a lower amperage charge than desired and also that the battery should be replaced.


What microphone uses external voltage supply such as a battery?

Look at the microphone datas, they will tell you, what external voltage you need. Only dynamic microphones like the Shure SM57 need no extra voltage.


How can you tell if there is a bad connection between the battery and the alternator?

Use a vom meter, or battery tester and with the engine running voltage should be approximately 14.5 volts.


Why does your Panasonic phone tell you not to use 1.5v rechargeable batteries instead of their original 1.2v rechargeable battery?

Using standard cells with 1.5v nominal voltage, will take the total battery voltage too high and damage the circuits.
