Hold the hydrometer in a vertical position at eye level and note the reading where the electrolyte meets the
scale on the float.

5. Test each cell and note the readings (corrected to 80° Fig. 30 Hydrometer F or 27° C). A variation of fifty
points between any two cell readings (example 1.250 -1.200) indicates a problem with the low reading cell(s).
As a battery ages the specific gravity of the electrolyte will decrease at full charge. This is not a reason to replace
the battery, providing all cells are within fifty points of each other.
Since the hydrometer test is in response to a vehicle exhibiting a performance problem, the vehicle should be
recharged and the test repeated. If the results indicate a weak cell, the battery or batteries should be removed and
replaced with a good battery of the same brand, type, and approximate age.
