At this stage the battery is ready to be used. For
longer life, it is well to check the acid intensity in
each cell. In case of readings lower than 1.26 kg/I,
it is necessary to give the battery a refreshing
charge to an insensity equal to 1/5th of its capac-
ity. 5 hours charge is normally sufficient. Tempera-
ture should never exceed 45°C (113 OF) but should
it go up higher, reduce the current intensity and
lengthen the charging time. Stop charging when
the specific gravity has gone up again to 1.27
-+-
1.28 sp. gravity at 25°C and such a rate has re-
mained constant for at least 3 readings at half hour
intervals.
Instructions for maintaining acid full batteries
Activated dry type batteries or batteries that have
been received already full with acid, should be ser-
viced as follows:
1 Add distilled water (never add sulphuric acid)
at least once a month ensuring that the acid level
always tops the plate separators by 5 mm (.19").
2 Always keep the battery terminals in a spotles-
Iy clean condition and smeared with jelly.
3 Always keep the top battery cover comple-
tely dry, avoiding overflows of electrolyte which
will reduce insulation and corrode the battery
bracket.
4 Make sure the charging equipment does not
give excessive or insufficient charging intensity,
bearing in mind that the acid gravity should always
be in between 1.24 1.27 kg/I. If not it will be ne-
cessary to check over the insulation and the effici-
ency of the charging and engine starting equip-
ment.
5 All acid full batteries that have been stored
should be periodically charged at an intensity
equal to l/lOth of the capacity and at correct acid
level and correct gravity of 1.27 kg/I at 25 DC
(77 OF).
6
All batteries should be installed on the ma-
chine with all retaining devices well tight and with
all anti-vibratory devices properly adjusted.
Note -If the battery
;s
due to be used in tropical cli-
mates (average temperature over
35
DC)
(92
OF)
it
is recommended to reduce the acid gravity
to 1.23
kg/l.
