output until they have been discharged a
number of times.
5. Do not excessively discharge batteries.
Excessive discharge can cause polarity
reversal of individual cells resulting in
complete failure shortly thereafter. Limited
use of new batteries will minimize the chance
of cell reversal.
6. CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE ELECTROLYTE
IN CONVENTIONAL LIQUID ELECTROLYTE
ACID BATTERIES MONTHLY. MAINTAIN
THE PROPER ELECTROLYTE LEVEL BY
ADDING DISTILLED OR PURIFIED WATER
WHEN NECESSARY. Electrolyte levels lower
during discharge and rise during charge.
Therefore, it is mandatory that water be added
to cells ONLY when they are fully charged; do
not overfill. Old batteries require more
frequent additions of water than do new
batteries.
