Battery - 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 reading of 1.28. Recharge battery if reading drops below 1.20.

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