Batteries - Checking Specific Gravity

Use an hydrometer to check the specific gravity of the electrolyte in each battery cell.

A fully charged battery should have a specific gravity of 1.28 kg/l. Recharge battery if reading drops below 1.20 kg/l.

NOTE: In tropical regions, the battery is fully charged when the reading is 1.23 kg/l.
