Checking the battery condition, the acid level and acid density
F
Battery acid is highly corrosive. Therefore it is essential to avoid contact with battery
acid. If clothing, skin or eyes have nevertheless come into contact with battery acid,
immediately rinse the affected parts with water. If the eyes have been affected,
immediately seek medical attention. Neutralise spilled battery acid immediately.
– Check the battery housing for cracks and any spilled acid.
– Remove any oxydation remains from the battery terminals.
– Lubricate the battery terminals with an acid-free grease.
– Check the acid level.
The acid should lie between the top and bottom markings.
– Clean the area around the inspection plugs.
– Unscrew the inspection plugs.
– If necessary, add distilled water to the top mark.
– Check the acid density.
If the battery is charged sufficiently, the acid density should be 1.24 to 1.28 kg/l.
– If necessary, re-charge the battery.
– Screw the inspection plugs back on.
Z
It is not necessary to check the acid level or the acid density in batteries with low
maintenance requirements.
