*Initial rate for constant voltage taper rate charger.
To avoid damage, charging rate must be reduced or temporarily halted if:
1. Electrolyte temperature exceeds 125°F.
2. Violent gassing or spewing of electrolyte occurs.
Battery is fully charged when over a two hour period at a low charging rate in amperes all cells are gassing freely and no change
in specific gravity occurs. For the most satisfactory charging, the lower charging rates in amperes are recommended.
Full charge specific gravity is 1.260-1.280 corrected for temperature with electrolyte level at split ring.

TESTING PROCEDURES
Testing procedures are used to determine whether the
battery is (
1
) good and usable, (
2
) requires recharging or
(3) should be replaced. Analysis of battery conditions
can be accomplished by performing a visual inspection,
instrument test and the full charge hydrometer test.
Refer to test procedure chart in this section.
Visual Inspection
The first step in testing the battery should be a visual
inspection, which very often will save time and expense
in determining battery condition.
• Check the outside of the battery for a broken or
cracked case or a broken or cracked cover. If any
damage is evident, the battery should be replaced.
