On completion of the charge, the specific
gravity of the acid in each cell should not exceed
the values stated in Table 1; if it does, acid must
be withdrawn from the
cell(s) and an equal volume
of distilled water added. The battery should then
.z
be charged for a further one hour and the specific
.-
2 gravity measured again.

The final adjustment of the acid level should be

made after the battery has been allowed to stand
for two hours to allow excess gas to escape and

the electrolyte level to fall.

Battery-To charge
1.
Remove the battery from the car.
2.
Ensure that the battery charger is switched off.
3.
Connect the battery charger leads to the

negative terminal.
4.
Check that the filling trough cover is firmly
in position (or screw caps fitted).
5.
Switch on the battery charger and adjust the
charging current to
7 amps (Max).
a 1_ 6. Periodically measure the specific gravity of
the electrolyte with a hydrometer and compare with
the values shown in Table
1, when the fully charged
&
value is attained, the charging is completed.

A filled battery should not be allowed to remain
in a discharged condition, it should be maintained
in a fully charged condition by giving it a fresh
charge once a month. The battery should be fully
