Specified gravity
Replace the battery if:
Battery voltage will not rise to a specific value.
Sulfurization of one or more cells occurs. (As in-
dicated by the plates turning white, if the cell).
Specific gravity readings after a long, slow charge
indicate one cell to be lover than the rest.

evident.
