Specific Gravity Readings (Fig. 15b)
A hydrometer can be used to measure the specific gravity
of the electrolyte in each cell.
The hydrometer measures the percentage of sulphuric
acid in the battery electrolyte in terms of specific gravity.
As a battery drops from a charged to a discharged
condition, the acid leaves the solution and enters the
plates, causing a decrease in specific gravity of
electrolyte. An indication of the concentration of the
electrolyte is obtained with a hydrometer.
When using a hydrometer, observe the following points:
1. Hydrometer must be clean, inside and out, to insure
an accurate reading.
2. Hydrometer readings must never be taken immedi
ately after water has been added. The water must
be thoroughly mixed with the electrolyte by
charging for at least 15 minutes at a rate high
enough to cause vigorous gassing.
3. If hydrometer has built-in thermometer, draw
liquid into it several times to insure correct
temperature before taking reading.
4. Hold hydrometer vertically and draw in just enough
liquid from batttery cell so that float is free
floating. Hold hydrometer at eye level so that float
is vertical and free of outer tube, then take reading
at surface of liquid. Disregard the curvature where
the liquid rises against float stem due to surface
tension.
5. Avoid dropping battery fluid on car or clothing as it
is extremely corrosive. Any fluid that drops should
be washed off immediately with baking soda
solution.
The specific gravity of the electrolyte varies not only with
the percentage of acid in the liquid but also with
temperature. As temperature increases, the electrolyte
expands so that the specific gravity is reduced. As
temperature drops, the electrolyte contracts so that the
specific gravity increases. Unless these variations in
specific gravity are taken into account, the specific
gravity obtained by the hydrometer may not give a true
indication of the concentration of acid in the electrolyte.
A fully charged Battery will have a specific gravity
reading of approximately 1.270 at an electrolyte
temperature of 80°F. If the electrolyte temperature is
above or below 80°F, additions or subtractions must be
made in order to obtain a hydrometer reading corrected
to the 80°F standard. For every 10° above 80°F, add four
specific gravity points (.004) to the hydrometer reading.
Example: A hydrometer reading of 1.260 at 110°F would
be 1.272 corrected to 80°F, indicating a fully charged
Battery. For every 10° below 80°F, subtract four points
(.004) from the reading. Example: A hydrometer reading
of 1.272 at 0°F would be 1.240 corrected to 80°F,
indicating a partially charged Battery.
Specific Gravity Cell Comparison Test
This test may be used when an instrument tester is not
Fig. 15b—Checking Specific Gravity
available. To perform this test measure the specific
gravity of each cell, regardless of state of charge, and
interpret the results as follows:
• If specific gravity readings show a difference
between the highest and lowest cell of .050 (50
points) or more, the Battery is defective and should
be replaced.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
To install a Battery properly, it is important to observe
the following precautions:
• Connect grounded terminal of Battery last to avoid
short circuits which may damage the electrical
system.
Do not connect primary lead until secondary
negative cable wire has been grounded to sheet
metal.
• Be sure there are no foreign objects in the
carrier, so that the new Battery will rest properly
in the bottom of the carrier.
• Tighten the hold-down evenly until snug (60-80
in. lbs.). Do not draw down tight enough to
distort or crack the case or cover.
• Be sure the cables are in good condition and the
terminal bolts are clean and tight. Make sure the
ground cable is clean and tight at engine block
or frame.
• Check polarity to be sure the Battery is not
reversed with respect to the charging system.
Do not over torque cable terminal studs.
REPLACEMENT (Fig. 16b, 17b and 18b)
1. Disconnect battery negative cable and then the
positive cable.
