Take a sample from each cell using the
acid tester.
– The acid in a fully charged battery has a
specific weight of 1.28 kg/l at a temper-
ature of 20 °C.
– The acid in a partially discharged bat-
tery has a specific weight between 1.00
and 1.28 kg/l.
– The specific weight of the acid must be
uniform in all cells.
Put the acid sample back into the same cell.
Where fluid level is too low, top up cells to
the mark provided with distilled water.
