ity
of
the electrolyte periodically with a hydrometer or
boost charge every three months.
If
the specific gravity
is being checked, recharge the battery when it reaches
1.220. The time it takes the battery to reach
1.220
depends on its condition and the temperature. The
colder the storage area, the slower the battery will self-
discharge. A normal time between charges is three
months.
