- Page 14 Watering Flooded batteries need water. More importantly, watering must be done at the right time and in the right amount or else the battery's performance and longevity suffers. Water should always be added after fully charging the battery. Prior to charging, there should be enough water to cover the plates. If the battery has been discharged partially or fully, the water level should also be above the plates.
- Page 15 Testing Visual inspection alone is not sufficient to determine the overall health of the battery. Both open-circuit voltage and specific gravity readings can give a good indication of the battery's charge level, age, and health. Routine voltage and gravity checks will not only show the state of charge but also help spot signs of improper pro, such as undercharging and over-watering, and possibly even locate a bad or weak battery.
- Page 16 If any specific gravity reading still registers lower than the factory specification of 1.277+/- .007 then one or more of the following conditions may exist: 1. The battery is old and approaching the end of its life. 2. The battery was left in a state of discharge too long. 3.
