temperature.
3. Clean and check battery. Measure specific gravity
(1.260 at 77° F [25°C] ) and verify level to be at
split
ring.
If specific gravity is few, charge until
correct value is obtained. If level is low, add
distilled water and charge until specific gravity is
correct. DO NOT OVERCHARGE.

J batteries. Explosive gases are emitted
WARNING
from batteries in operation. Ignition of these gases can cause
