● Keep battery clean and dry.
● Undo soiled terminals.
● Clean battery plus and minus poles and
terminals and apply a film of acid-free and acid-
resistant grease.
● When reconnecting, ensure good contact of
terminals. Fasten clamping bolts finger tight.
● Remove cell caps 1.
● If electrolyte test elements 2 are fitted:
The level should be high enough to wet the
bottom of these.
● If no such elements are provided :
Check to make sure that the level is 10-15 mm
above the top edge of the plates.
● Top up with distilled water if necessary.
● Fit cell caps back in position.
● Measure the specific gravity of the individual
cells with a commercial hydrometer.
The measured values (see adjacent table)
indicate the state of charge of the battery.
During the measurement, the temperature of
the electrolyte should preferably read 20 °C.
