with 15% salt: Pour salt into the bottle up to
the 15% mark, and then fill to the top line

simply fill to the corresponding mark on the
bottle.
2. Slide the magnesium plate into the
holder. Make sure that the plate touches
the nickel contact.
3. Click the holder with the magnesium
plate into the tank. Make sure the holder is
fully inserted.

everything is properly assembled.

metal–air cells.
