6. Hold the hydrometer vertically, ensuring that the float is not contacting the sides of the glass tube. Hold
the hydrometer at eye level and read the scale at the level of electrolyte (Figure 11-4, Page 11-10) .
7. Record the reading.
8. Return the electrolyte to the cell from which it was taken. Replace vent cap.
9. Repeat steps 2 through 8 on all cells.
Hydrometer Calibration
Most hydrometers are calibrated to read correctly at 80 °F (27 °C). The readings obtained as described above
must be corrected for temperature. For each 10 °F (5.6 °C) above 80 °F (27 °C), add 0.004 to the reading. For
each 10 °F (5.6 °C) below 80 °F (27 °C), subtract 0.004 from the reading.
Interpreting the Results of the Hydrometer Test
The approximate state of charge can be determined by referring to the following table:
If the difference between the cells is 0.020 or more, the low cell should be suspected. It may require a catch-
up charge or it may be a weak cell. When the variations between cells reach 0.050 or more, the battery should
be replaced.
