D14 – BATTERY ELECTROLYTE SPECIFIC GRAVITY
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.
