Specific Gravity Test
The specific gravity of the electrolyte gives an idea of the state of charge of the battery. Readings should be
taken using a hydrometer, when the electrolyte temperature is 15°C (60°F). If the battery has recently been on
charge, wait approximately one hour (or slightly discharge the battery) to dissipate the surface charge before
testing.
Readings should be as tabulated and should not vary between cells by more than 0.04. A greater variation
indicates an internal fault on that particular cell.
If the electrolyte temperature is other than 15°C (60°F) a 'correction factor' must be applied to the reading
obtained. Add 0.07 per 10°C (18°F) if the temperature is higher than 15°C (60°F) and subtract the same if the
temperature is lower.
