State Of Charge - Club Car 1995 Golf Car Maintenance Service Supplement

Interpreting the Results of the Hydrometer Test
The approximate state of charge can be determined from the following table:
SPECIFIC GRAVITY AT 80°
1.250 - 1.280
1.220 - 1.240
1.190 - 1.210
1.160 - 1.180
If the difference between the cells is .020 or more, the low cell should be suspected. It may require a catch-
up charge or it may be a weak cell. When the variations between cells reach .050 or more, the battery with
the low cell should be replaced.
