OPERATOR’S DAILY CHECKLIST
If the battery has been shipped with
electrolyte installed check the
specific gravity of the electrolyte
using a hydrometer to determine if a
charge is needed. If the reading is
between 1.280 and 1.290 the
battery is fully charged. If the
reading is near 1.150 the battery
must be charged as described in
“Charging a Wet Cell Battery” on
page 5-8.
Figure 5-3 Battery Removal
Using a Hydrometer
As the battery discharges the
specific gravity of the electrolyte
lowers. A hydrometer allows you to
check the specific gravity of the
cells, thus the charge state of the
battery.
To use a hydrometer:
• Remove a cap from one or two
of the cells. Gently squeeze
(compress) the bulb of the
hydrometer.
• Insert the tube of the
hydrometer into the cell
electrolyte. Slowly release the
bulb to allow fluid to draw into
the hydrometer. Enough fluid
must enter the hydrometer to
allow the float to move freely.
• The specific gravity of the
electrolyte is read off the scale
of the float where it emerges
form the fluid.
• It is good practice to select
many different and multiple
cells.
• When returning the electrolyte
to the battery, ensure that the
fluid is returned to the cell from
which it was taken. Be careful
not to splash the electrolyte.
Charging a Wet Cell Battery
1.
Remove each vent cap and
check electrolyte levels.
Ambient temperature should be
+77°F (+25°C) to get a proper
reading. In cold weather the
battery may look dry.
2.
DO NOT add water until an
accurate level is obtained; cold
weather can affect the level. If
water must be added use only
distilled water.
3.
Make sure the electrolyte level
is at the level indicator.
4.
Replace the vent caps. They
must be secured in place during
charging. Ordinarily, the charge
should take about 3 to 5 hours
to complete.
