8. Hold the hydrometer vertically and ensure that the float does not contact the sides of the glass tube. Hold
the hydrometer at eye level and read the scale at the level of electrolyte (Figure 11a-3, Page 11a-10) .
9. Record the reading.
10. Return the electrolyte to the cell from which it was taken. Replace vent cap.
11. Repeat steps 4 through 10 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
Use the following table to determine the approximate state of charge:
If the difference between the cells is 0.020 or more, the low cell should be suspected of poor performance. 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.
