For checking specific gravity, use a hydrometer to deter-
mine the charged condition.

Standard specific gravity
An S.G reading of 1.22(at 20℃)or under means that the
battery needs recharging off the machine : take it off and
charge it from a recharger. Charging the battery in place
can lead to failure of the regulator/rectifier.
