caps, check the specific gravity of the electrolyte periodically
with a hydrometer or boost charge every three months. If the
specific gravity is being checked, recharge the battery when it
reaches 1.220. The time it takes the battery to reach 1.220
depends on its condition and the temperature. The colder the
storage area, the slower the battery will self-discharge. A
normal time between charges is three months.
