1.280 :Fully Charged
Below 1.260:Needs charging
• The battery needs charging when the specific
gravity is below 1.230
• The specific gravity changes according to the
battery temperature as shown.
• Replace the battery with a new battery when it
has white cells.
• Replace the battery with a new one when it has
a deposit in the lower part of the battery.
• The battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid.
