3. Specinc Gravity
Check the specific gravity of all three cells of the
b attery wit h a hy drometer, if it measures be l ow 1.200 ,
the ba tt e ry should be charged.
A fully c harged battery should indicate a specific
gr av i ty of 1.2 80 at elect ro l yte tempe rature of 20 ° C
f
68° Fl. The spec ific gravit y w ill vary somewhat with
the te mperoture at the rate of 0.0007 specific gravit y
v
ar iati on for each 1 °C (1.8 °FI change in temperat ure .
A rise in t e
