D10  DENSITY OF THE BATTERY ELECTROLYTE
CHECK
The electrolyte’s density varies according to the temperature but a minimum level of 1260 at
16°C must be maintained.
In the hatched section (Fig. D10), the battery is normally charged.
Above the hatched section, the battery must be recharged.
The density must not vary by 0.025 unit from one battery element to another.
- Open the battery cover.
- Check the electrolyte density in each battery element with an acidometer.
- Never check after having added distilled water. Recharge the battery and wait 1 hour before
checking the battery electrolyte’s density.
Manipulating and servicing a battery can be dangerous; take the following
precautions:
- W
ear protective goggles.
- Keep the battery horizontal when manipulating it.
- Never smoke or work close to a naked flame.
- Work in a sufficiently well-ventilated area.
- If some electrolyte splashes onto your skin or in your eyes, rinse the affected
area thoroughly with cold water for 15 minutes and call a doctor.
