HECK THE SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF THE BATTERY
ELECTROLYTE
The specific gravity of the electrolyte varies with temperature, but a minimum
of 1270 at 16°C must be maintained.
In the hatched part of figure B4, the battery is charged normally.
Above this hatched area, the battery needs to be re-charged.
The specific gravity must not vary by 0.025 units from one battery cell any other.
- Re-charge the battery, and wait for 1 hour before checking the specific
gravity in each battery cell using a hydrometer.
- Never check after filling with distilled water
B5 - C
HECK THE LEVEL OF THE BATTERY
ELECTROLYTE
Check the level of the electrolyte in each cell of the battery.
Where the working ambient temperature is high, check the level more
frequently than every 50 hours of operation.
- Open the turret covers.
- Remove the cap (Ref.1, Fig. B5) from each cell of the battery.
- The electrolyte level should be 1 cm above the top of the battery plates in each
cell.
- If necessary, top up with clean distilled water, stored in a glass carboy.
- Clean and dry the cell caps (Ref.1, Fig. B5), and replace them on the cells.
- Check the battery lugs, and apply Vaseline to them to prevent oxidation.
