Caution
Regularly check the fluid level in acid-filled
batteries.
– The acid in a fully charged battery has a
specific weight of 1.28 kg/l at a temper-
ature of 20 °C.
– The acid in a partially discharged bat-
tery has a specific weight between 1.00
and 1.28 kg/l.
– The specific weight of the acid must be
uniform in all cells.
 Unscrew all cell caps.
 Take a sample from each cell using the
acid tester.
 Put the acid sample back into the same
cell.
 Where fluid level is too low, top up cells
to the mark provided with distilled wa-
ter.
 Charge battery.
 Screw in cell caps.
