● Keep battery clean and dry.
● Undo dirty clamps.
● Clean terminal posts (+ and -) and clamps of the
battery, and grease with acid-free and acid-
resistant grease.
● When reassembling, ensure that clamps make
good contact. Do up clamp bolts finger tight.
● Remove caps 1.
● If testers 2 are used, the electrolyte should come
up to their base.
● If testers are not used, the electrolyte level should
be 10-15 mm above the top of the plates.
● If necessary, top up with distilled water.
● Replace caps.
● Measure the electrolyte density of individual
cells with a commercial hydrometer.
The hydrometer reading (see table on following
page) indicates the state of charge.
During measurement, the temperature of the
electrolyte should preferably be 20 °C.
