C heck specif1c gravity
Before using
the
battery,
check the capacity
and
if the
specif1c gravity of
the
electrolyte is
below
1,220
at
20°C 1 68°
Fl
(less than
7 5
%
capacity)
,
the battery shou
ld
be
recharged.
(Caution)
The relation between
the
battery
capacity
and
the
specif1c
gravity
(residual capacity) is
shown
in Fig 5.18.
When the specif1c gravity
is 1.189
at 20°C 168°Fl lless
than
50
%
capacity) the
residual
capacity
is
small and
if
continued
to
be
used
in
suc
h
a condition, it will eventually lead
to
tro
ubl
e as
well as
shortening
the
battery
life,
therefore,
the
battery
sho
uld
be recharged as
soon as possible
