A Putting a new dry battery In service
1 Remove sealing tape and plugs. Introduce pure
sulphuric acid for battery with a specific gravity of
1.26 kg ! 1 and a temperature of not less than
+
15' C
59' F) until the level overflows 5-10 mm (.019-.039")
the plate separators or splash guard.
2 Let the battery at rest for about 2 hours.
3 Now charge the battery for 6-8 hours - intensity
1/ 1Oth of its capacity - until the acid has reached
about 1.27 sp. g. and such gravity has remained con-
stant for at least 3 consecutive hours.
4 Alter charging, top up the acid, screw i n the
plugs, and clean the battery cover accurately.
B Servicing the battery under service conditions
1 Be sure the electrolyte always covers the sepa-
rators. To top up use distilled water. Never add sul-
phuric acid.
2 If too frequent water additions are required, have
the electrical system checked over as the battery
