Original Surf Batteries

[Ben_D]

Hi All,

Surf wouldn't start this morning, was -20.5C so understandable really considering it is on what I believe to be the original batteries. There are condition indicators on them and they have a colour change to tell you the state of them. Problem is, all instructions on the labels are in Japanese. There is red, blue & white, which of these means the batteries are goosed? One shows blue, the other white.

Going to order replacements but wondering if they may be O.K and need to change glow plugs instead?


Cheers

Ben

blue means it's OK, red means add distilled water, and white means charging is necessary if i remember correct

When I got my truck it still had the original batteries, which lasted me about 1 year...replaced with better ones
