Discharged
Half charged
Fully charged
Electrolyte density must be at least
3
1.24kg/dm
- If specific density is too low, charge battery and
recheck specific density afterwards.
Electrolyte density must not vary more than
3
0.04kg/dm between cells.
Examples of unacceptable variations in
specific gravity:
Specific gravity variations per cell in kg/dm
Cell 1

Example 1.24 1.25 1.25 1.10 1.24 1.25
1:
Example 1.26 1.26 1.25 1.14 1.18 1.24
2:
Example 1: Specific gravity in cell 4 (1.10) is too
low.
Example 2: Specific gravity in cells 4 (1.10) and 5
(1.18) are too low and variation between cells
