If the battery is subjected to long periods of
night parking with the lights on, without suitable
opportunities for recharging, a low state of
charge is to be expected.
Measure the specific gravity of the acid of
each cell in turn with a hydrometer (see Fig. 3).
The following table shows the state of charge

If the battery is discharged, it must be
recharged, either on the motor cycle by a period
of daytime running or from an external D.C.
supply at the normal recharge rate of 1.5 amp.
